"4 Foods You Can Cook Using Semen, Because This Is A Real Thing, Even If It Seems Like ~Came~ Out Of Nowhere

By LARA RUTHERFORD-MORRISON
Jun 1, 2015

In todays edition of €œHuh. So This Is A Thing€�: Cooking...with semen. Yes, you read that right. Semen, as in sperm-carrying human ejaculate, is, apparently, the next great ingredient for the adventurous chef. Ill give you a moment to process this...OK. Bay-area cookbook author Paul "Fotie" Photenhauer has published two books about recipes that use semen. The first, Natural Harvest: A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes was released in 2008. (I almost wrote €œcame out in 2008,€� but then that seemed too on-the-nose. Evidently, once you start writing about semen-cooking, everything starts sounding dirty.) The description on the back of the book explains,

Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food.

This book hopes to change that.

Once you overcome any initial hesitation, you will be surprised to learn how wonderful semen is in the kitchen. Semen is an exciting ingredient that can give every dish you make an interesting twist. If you are a passionate cook and are not afraid to experiment with new ingredients -- you will love this cook book!

Photenhauer followed up Natural Harvest with Semenology: The Semen Bartenders Handbook in 2013, because what semen-laced meal would be complete without a semen-y cocktail, right?

In an interview with SF Weekly, Photenhauer explains that he doesnt put semen in all his food, saying, "For me, it's more of a fun twist to add to food €¦ It adds a definite personal twist to it.€� Anna Roth at SF Weekly spoke to an infectious disease specialist about the health implications of cooking with semen; he explained that certain STIs, including HIV and CMV (a form of herpes), could be transmitted through raw semen, and added, €œIf the food is thoroughly cooked, well-cooked, to destroy any life forms in the semen, like any viruses... that would be my first concern.€� Photenhauer suggests that people shouldnt cook with the ejaculate of just anyone, remarking, "I would never eat or drink semen, cooked or otherwise, from someone I wouldn't be willing to have sex with." So, the more you know, right?

And on that note, here are some of Photenhauers recipes, for those of you who are...er, interested:

1. The Macho Mojito

2. Crepes

3. BBQ Sauce

4. Creme Caramel

Ill admit that these recipes make me shudder instinctively, but my general feeling on this is the same as with most sex stuff: If its happening between two consenting adults, then who am I to judge? But€”again, as with other sexual situations€”consent and knowledge are everything. Photenhauer insists to SF Weekly people should not serve these semen recipes to others without their knowledge, saying, "I'm against [people saying], 'Oh, I put semen in their margarita and they didn't know about it.' That's wrong. That's gross and that's wrong." AGREED..."

I'd try them.

An Indian restaurant hereabouts serves salad for the whiteys. We generally
order it anyway. They put some of those chips on the salad, but they're
not highly spiced. Like most snack foods, they probably come in different
flavors.

No, not HOT spicy, just yummy savory spices. Not the least bit of HOT that I could detect. An unusual to the U.S. palate flavor, spicy, savory, but not hot spicy.

Yes, I never had any spice growing up and even when I lived in India I
was very lucky because our cook never used any. Heh he knew better)

When I lived in Malta, I learned to love Italian cooking, but fortunately
I don't remember any spice.

I made an American style meat pie with no spice last night. It was breakfast this morning and made with hamburger and canned cream of mushroom soup. I didn't add any salt because the soup was plenty salty. No black pepper either. It was topped with an egg, milk, and cheese, mix. It was pretty good but kind of boring.

Yes, you were lucky in India! I guess Italian cuisine is quite calm
with spiciness.

That neither sounds nor look boring!!! I must admit I wouldn't use canned
soup, but so what? That is just me

Yes, I haven't come across much/if any spice in Italian cooking. But
even If I did, I would ignore it

In India, our cook had worked for Brits before so wasn't surprised)

I don't cook with canned soup either but we had a box of cream of mushroom soup and my goal was a American style dish. You can't get more American than canned soup! When I was cooking the hamburger, the temptation was great to just add some flour to the pan and make a roux but I decided that it was going to be balls to the walls and full speed ahead. My wife and I enjoyed the pie but I'll probably never make anything with canned soup again.

The "Memories with Recipes" book is a good sampler of American style cooking. If you look at the latter part of the 3rd chapter, you can read a bit about my sister-in-law. She'll be here next week. I'll make her some prune mui to see what she thinks of it. Maybe I'll make some shoyu pork. I'm trying to get those guys to cook Hawaiian.

It's a sampler of American cooking of the past. I'll stick with the
lighter, fresher, bolder flavors of the present.

Your view of American cooking is analogous to boiling Hawaiian cooking
down to "Add pineapple to it and it's Hawaiian".

That is absolutely correct and that was absolutely my intention. My kids can do modern American cooking. Stuff like Mediterranean pasta salad. I'm not interested in cooking that way. Adding pineapple to stuff and calling it "Hawaiian" is an American culinary notion that's still prevalent today.

I see pineapples in Fl, pot in Ca, dirty water in Mi, armpits in Mo.

Speaking of Hawaiian food, the Hawaiian restaurant in our town went
belly up. It actually lasted a lot longer than I had expected. I
wondered why they guy was going with that theme. I had never heard of a
Hawaiian restaurant anywhere around here, or anywhere outside of Hawaii.

We gave it a try. My son took me to lunch one day. I was not impressed.
I had opted for the healthier option, mahi mahi. I was served a plate
with a huge mound of rice and a huge mound of macaroni salad and a tiny
piece of fish that was sitting on a bed of greens that were rotten.
Literally rotten. A couple of the leaves were dark, slimy and smelly.

When I saw people praising it on FaceBook I posted my experience and the
owner got all snotty, claiming that mahi mahi is very expensive and he
tries to keep the price down by serving only 4 oz. BS, my serving was
more like an ounce.

I had not planned to go back, but a few months later my wife had retinal
surgery and my son came by and he picked up fish and chips for us at
that place. The fish and chips was fine, as good as I would expect from
take out fish and chips, since they inevitably get soggy in the take out
container. As good as they were, they weren't Hawaiian fare.

I am wishing luck to the English pub that moved into that location, but
I have not been to it. The prices are pretty steep. AS friend said that
their fish and chips are pretty good, but they are about $8 more than
the same dish at other local places.

Mahimahi used to be the king of fishes back in the old days. These days, it's more like the clown prince of fish. It's sad to think of Hawaii without mahimahi. Here's a $10 plate of mahimahi that I got last week. That's the breaks. My recommendation is that you never order mahimahi again because you're sure to be disappointed.

Yeah. I sure thought so. I thought that $14.95 for a lunch with a piece
of fish that small was a rip off. That, and the rotten, slimy greens
was the reason I never went back.

One bad restaurant does not a bad cuisine make.

Oddly enough, Hawaiian food is probably best when eaten in a tropical or warm climate. Why is that? I don't know.

It's tough to say if those guys were the real deal. I could tell in a couple of seconds but I'd have to see the food in question in person. Back in the 70's we spotted a Hawaiian BBQ joint in a strip mall in California. Well that's what it said on the window anyway. As it goes, it was really a Korean restaurant. Ha ha. Nobody knew what Korean food was back in those days - including me. My wife felt right at home though. That must have confused the staff to see a white girl ordering the food and the Asian dude acting all clueless.

I have learned not to make too many assumptions on ethnicity when it
comes to restaurants. The Hawaiian restaurant in our town was run by a
white guy and there were no Hawaiians involved in any way I knew of. My
son managed a brew pub that was franchise of a French chain. The
Canadian owners were Greek, and the kitchen staff we all Tamil.

Yet you are interested in cooking that bland shit from the 1950s and calling
it "American style"?

I don't cook with canned soup either but we had a box of cream of mushroom
soup and my goal was a American style dish. You can't get more American than
canned soup! When I was cooking the hamburger, the temptation was great to
just add some flour to the pan and make a roux but I decided that it was
going to be balls to the walls and full speed ahead. My wife and I enjoyed
the pie but I'll probably never make anything with canned soup again.

The "Memories with Recipes" book is a good sampler of American style
cooking. If you look at the latter part of the 3rd chapter, you can read a
bit about my sister-in-law. She'll be here next week. I'll make her some
prune mui to see what she thinks of it. Maybe I'll make some shoyu pork. I'm
trying to get those guys to cook Hawaiian.

What the heck is wrong with trying to recreate an old timey recipe? Ain't yoose interested in food and culture? No, of course not, the only thing you're interested in is eating but I want to also learn how people were back in the old days. Rest assured that I'm not interested in this kind of cooking as a general practice - not that it's any of your business.

That's what people say. I can't say if it's true. If I didn't have it I'd just use regular salt. Use about a third less. I've made a couple of batches of the stuff. I'd use vinegar instead of lemon juice - it tastes better. Well, that's the way I see it. I'd ditch the 5 spice and cloves and stick in a few star anise instead. Well, that's just what I'd do.
