Collins dictionary defines "lavatorial" as "of or in the style of decoration supposed to typify public lavatories".

Lavatorial is a trend on the rise. From poop humour to twooping (Twitter while pooping), people worldwide are more accepting of the idea of toilets now more than ever before.

A restaurant in Indonesia's Java island though took this to the next level - by serving food in toilets.

The food is traditional Indonesian "bakso" - a type of meatball floating in different colours of soup (some look like piss) - that is being served in a toilet.

Swallow that.

Guests at this café, called "Jamban" (which literally means toilet in Indonesian), sit on upright pots around a table where food is served in containers that look like old-school Indian toilets.

Now there are some people who might find the idea of eating out of a toilet disgusting, for these abnormal folk, the restaurant hung a sick bag at the entrance.

How nice of them.

For those who found the whole experience too nauseating, there's a sick bag hanging by the entrance. Thank goodness for small mercies.

The surprising thing is that the restaurant, according to a report in the Daily Mail, is attracting a lot of customers.

This could be because new things make people curious or that serving people food from a toilet which looks like food was really the market efficiency strategy that the restaurant business had been ignoring for so long.

Who knows anything at this point?

Eat, pray, poop.

Maybe all at once.
