During his three-month stint in Thailand earlier this year, Lee Temte of Minneapolis dined at the memorably named Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant, whose edible fare is “guaranteed not to cause pregnancy.” Established to help fund the work of the Population and Community
Development Association, the eatery serves food that “is traditional Thai,” Temte writes, “but the decor is pure condom.” Red, white, and blue prophylactics adorn the surface of the glass-top tables, and decorative figures on display are dressed in clothes made entirely of condoms. And in place of an after-dinner mint? You guessed it; each diner leaves with a condom.
