Kraken Autopsy Proves the Monster is Delicious
We've told you about Miss Cakehead's Eat Your Heart Out pop-up cake shop coming up in London. We've seen corpse body parts made of chocolate and cupcakes with edible maggots. In the latest stunt to promote the event, the "Black Ink Society" conducted an autopsy of a Kraken! We've got plenty of pictures of the event, which was held shipboard off the coast of Kent on Thursday.
Several parts of the Kraken were brought on board the ship for further investigation which included a giant eye (white chocolate eye filled with Kraken Rum), Kraken cysts (black pickled onions), eye pupils (black eggs), black sticky stomach contents (liquorice and black treacle), an entire kraken mouth (Kraken Rum cake) with over 200 teeth (made from white chocolate) and the remains of a human skull intertwined with juvenile kraken tentacles (Kraken Rum cake). Washed down with a delicious mixture of rum tots and grey and murky Kraken pus (white chocolate hard shake). The flesh of the kraken is said to have mysterious properties so valuable it must be consumed.
The public will get a chance to feast on the remains of the Kraken at the 2013 Eat Your Heart Out event, titled "Feed the Beast."
Visitors will see the remains of the Kraken corpse and be able to feast on its putrid maggot riddled flesh (Kraken rum cake with marzipan maggots), see disturbing cake installations and sample cocktails as dark as a Kraken’s Ink. The public can also visit the space to view a video of the Kraken autopsy and see a full photographic gallery of the process. ‘Treats’ on sale in the space are set to include festering mouth-of-Kraken cupcakes, chunks of human flesh and Kraken rum ‘Drowned Sailor Hands’. Entry to the event is free with no tickets required but due to the nature of the cakes on sale only those aged over 18+ will be able to enter.
The "autopsy" on Thursday was attended by bartenders who won a competition to produce cocktails "as dark as a Kraken’s ink." Their cocktails will also be featured at the event next week.
"Feed the Beast" will be open October 25-27th at The Rag Factory 16-18 Heneage Street, in London, England. There is no admission charge, but you must be 18 or older to attend, as some (actually all) of the treats are, shall we say, disturbing.

I'm fighting my initial response which is to be super grossed out. I shouldn't be, we drink cow breast milk after all. It's not that it's breast milk that freaks me out, it's that it's a daughter sharing it with her father and the image that it puts in your head. I think I'd be more comfortable with this if it was anonymous breast milk from a milk bank (which already exist for moms who never develop breast milk while pregnant). Either way, I think it's amazing if it actually work (both I and my mother have cancer) and I hope that the medical community is working hard to figure out WHAT in the breast milk is the key and how to replicate it.
Cause ya know any medical research found on the web (especially from Scandinavia) must be true.
Why JAMA never seems to get around to publishing stuff that anyone can find on the web is just plain elitism.
Plus think of all the empirical evidence - how many baby's do you know of that die of cancer?
Just.. I dunno... bleh.
Baby drinking breastmilk= ok.... Father drinking his daughter's breastmilk= creepy as hell.
"Daughter Helps Dad Fight Cancer … By Breastfeeding Him!" FAIL
"Daughter helps dad fight cancer by donating breast milk" WIN
Although I guess no matter how much I pour my heart out here, Alex doesn't give a shit.
However, good luck to them! If he's not consuming it directly from the source then it's not too different from cow's milk is it?

@jermH: freezing is ok and it's validated by hospitals (in Mount Auburn hospital, Cambridge, MA at least).
@eni: you speak the truth.
Also, see your post.
The benefits of breast milk are obvious. That it can CURE cancer, I doubt. But I am very sure that it can help the intestine regain a certain stage of health. Good that it helped someone.
You guys are weird.

I sense another lucrative economic niche for women in the 3rd world.
As a mother of a baby that has cancer. Infant leukemia to be exact... look it up on the internet. Babies do die from cancer sadly. Our little girl has been breastfed from day one.. and at 20 months is still breastfed.. she has done amazingly well and our oncologists puts a great deal of her wellbeing down to her being nursed. In 14 months of aggressive chemotherapy treatment she's had 7 bad days... thats better than average..
Perhaps you should think a bit before you make comments like the ine you did...
