umbilical cord ?
in south korea the latest fad for umblical cords after the child is born is to have it wrapped in to acrylic resin and then gold plated to be kept as a souvenir.

Shim Jae-cheol of U&I Impression said the firm had gold-plated about 80 to 100 umbilical cords a month since starting business in August, with prices ranging from 80,000 won to 100,000 won ($76 to $96). It also offers mail order.

Another supplier, Agamo, which makes calligraphy brushes made from human hair and preserves umbilical cords in personal seals, hopes to branch out to Japan.

Re: umbilical cord ?
They might have a trouble with mail order. The postage of human flesh is very severely restricted. isn't it?

I think I can find other things to eat. StillI have no idea what it tastes like and it's more the IDEA of eating it that puts me off.
