Bizarre food festival outdoes itself by offering shots of horse semen 'energy drink'

[ChromeFoundry]

HOKITIKA, New Zealand - It’s a food festival that would probably even make Andrew Zimmern queasy, when wood-dwelling grubs are among the most benign delicacies being offered.

The Wildfoods Festival in Hokitika, New Zealand – about three hours west of Christchurch – has been serving up some truly baffling gastric challenges for more than 20 years.

This year’s festivities, planned for March 12, will feature such delectable morsels as sea tulips, raw—and cooked—scorpions, weka (which is a type of flightless bird), and a variety of other comparatively-mundane items (calamari, sea cucumber, and pickled walnuts).

But the piece de resistance—the item sure to be the subject of more double-dog dares and “you-go-firsts” than any other at the festival—has to be the shots of horse semen.

6. Meet Grand Marshal Rodell Vereen

A man caught having sex with a horse in a South Carolina stable has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Multiple media outlets report that Rodell Vereen was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to buggery. A judge also ordered Vereen to get counseling and stay away from the Lazy B stables when he's released.

Authorities charged Vereen, 50, after a woman set up a surveillance camera and caught him on tape having sex with her horse in July. Horse owner Barbara Kenley said she had noticed her 21-year-old horse Sugar was acting strangely. She also noticed things had been moved around near the horse's stall at her stables in Longs, about 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach....

Horry County police don't often investigate animal sex allegations, spokesman Sgt. Robert Kegler said. He said the last person charged with buggery in the county was Rodell Vereen in late 2007.

Hey, at least the horse was over 18...
