![]() They say they are also looking to employ an "open-minded surgeon". ![]() "Members declare themselves willing to donate any part of their body," the advertisement reads, adding that any resulting hospital costs will be taken on by the restaurant. In a prominent advertising campaign on the internet, in German newspapers and on television, the restaurant, Flime, is appealing for willing donors and diners to become members of what it hints at being a new dining movement. The promotion has been declared grossly distasteful by a growing number of protesters, who say it is in particularly bad taste following the case of a real cannibal in Germany. Would you be prepared to sacrifice your testicles, stomach fat or ears for the sake of high-class cuisine? A soon-to-open Berlin restaurant is touting for diners willing to do just that: donate body parts that it says it will turn into gourmet meals according to the age-old cooking habits of an Amazonian tribe infamous for its cannibalism. While the advertisements and some resulting complaints from members of the public were real enough, as the article reported, there is no confirmation at present that a so-called "cannibal restaurant" in Berlin is anything other than imaginary. However, one of the article's expressions of doubt about whether such a restaurant really is about to open was cut in the editing process. The following correction is due to appear in the Guardian on Saturday 28 August 2010: An article – Cannibal restaurant plan leaves bad taste, 27 August, page 21 – wrote of an advertising campaign in Germany seeking people willing to donate bits of their bodies to be cooked and served to restaurant diners.
