New Zealand Pub Serves Shots of Apple-Flavored Horse Semen

A pub in Wellington, New Zealand, has caused quite a stir after it decided
to serve apple-flavored horse semen shots to its customers.

Steven Drummond, co-owner of the Green Man Pub, in Wellington, was looking
for a new drink as the entry for the nationwide 14th annual Monteith's Beer
& Wild Food Challenge, when he realized the sperm harvested from a nearby
Christchurch stallion farm would make a fine choice. Add some apple flavor
and voila, you have the most disgusting shot ever served in a bar. And the
weirdest thing is people actually pay big money to try it. If someone paid
you to drink horse semen, I'd (kind of) understand, but when you're the one
paying $20 for a shot of the stuff, you have a problem.

According to Green Man Pub chef, Jason Varley, the horse semen drink known
as "Hoihoi tatea" is particularly preferred by the female clientele. Most
ladies down the stuff and afterwards make jokes about going home and getting
their husbands to eat grass, or about the possibility of their children
being born with long faces. Varley admits he tried horse semen himself and
claims it tastes "ok", "like custard", but says it's not very popular with
men, in general.

Despite possible health benefits of drinking sperm, like boosted
testosterone levels due to the DHEA hormone, none of the customers who tried
Hoihoi tatea came back for seconds. The Green Man staff actually advise
customers to drink the shot in one gulp, instead of trying to sip it like a
delicious cocktail. If you want to try apple-flavored horse semen yourself,
I suggest you hurry, as it's only available until July 3, when Monteith's
Beer & Wild Food Challenge ends.
