Not surprisingly, the mad cow scare has gone underground and spawned a fan
club that professes to live on the edge. Club members usually wear black,
go to all-night clubs in Greenwich Village, and demonstrate courage by
doing a line of cocaine. The new fad is a line of spine that involves
inhaling through the nostrils a line of pulverized, powdered spine
ostensibly from a really mad-cow cow. So pervasive is this practice that
New York health officials have launched a television campaign called "This
Is Your Brain On Cow," showing hapless young men and women braying at the moon.
In a less dramatic manner some restaurants are simply adding a note of
intrigue to expensive, bland menus. For example in Japan blowfish is
considered a delicacy. However, it must be cooked properly or the consumer
could die a very painful death.
A similar practice is currently the rage in England where enterprising,
risk-taking upper-class families actually seek out suspect meat for the
Sunday roast claiming their pedigree will protect them.
