无注释原文：
Restaurant blasted for serving up chocolate dessert — in a toilet
From: New York Post
Apparently this tourist dining destination never heard the old idiom about not s – – tting where you eat.
A restaurant in Israel has stirred up a crapstorm online after serving brown ice cream in a toilet-themed vessel, as seen in a viral video eliciting gags across TikTok.
In the retch-worthy clip — filmed at a restaurant called Gordos in Holon, south of Tel Aviv, Israel — a server can be seen bringing a porcelain-throne-shaped dish to a table of diners.
He then lifts up the commode lid to reveal chocolate ice cream (or perhaps dulce doo leche?) splattered about the bowl — like the messy aftermath of a gastrointestinal episode.
The diners, unperturbed by the ice cream’s excremental cosplay, eagerly jab their spoons in and lick the toilet bowl clean while laughing.
No word as to whether they were able to use said vessel to relieve themselves following the meal.
The inspiration behind the crapp-etizer also seems unclear.
Perhaps it was a Dada-esque commentary on the future of dining, in that everything inevitably ends up in the toilet (an edible version of artist Marcel Duchamp’s 1917 opus “Fountain” — an upside-down urinal — comes to mind).
Viewers had a hard time stomaching the fecal-themed treat with one horrified commenter writing, “And people eat this s – – t?”
“As a regular customer of yours, honestly this time I was shocked,” said another of the party pooper of the day.
“Damn, the concept looks very disturbing,” criticized a third.
Another viewer labeled the poop-sicle as “the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.”
And it wasn’t just the sorbet’s scatological resemblance that put people off.
Pakistan outlet Samaa took offense over the dessert’s name, “Third House of S – – t,” which they felt alluded to “the revered concept of the Third Temple in Jewish tradition.”
“The hypothetical Third Temple is a subject of profound religious significance to many, making the dessert’s name a point of contention,” the outlet wrote of the supposedly snack-religious connotation.
“Critics argue that the use of such a name for a dessert can be interpreted as a lack of respect for religious beliefs held by a significant portion of the country’s population.”
Of course, this isn’t the first restaurant to model its dishes after detritus.
This gastrointestinal gimmick has been a fixture across the globe for some time now.
Taiwan scat cafe chain Modern Toilet, which this author had the privilege of trying in Shanghai some years back, was famous for serving doo-inspired delicacies from Golden Poop (brown curry) to Constipation (noodles with soybean paste), all of which came in toilet-themed vessels.
Fortunately, as of yet, fountain drinks aren’t being served out of bidets.

The diners, unperturbed by the ice cream's excremental cosplay, eagerly jab their spoons in and lick the toilet bowl clean while laughing.
尽管冰淇淋的造型酷似粪便，但食客们并不介意，他们欢快地用勺子挖着吃，在欢笑中将马桶碗里的冰淇淋吃得一干二净。
unperturbed
unperturbed /ˌʌn.pəˈtɜːbd/ 表示“（尤指在意外情况下）不担忧的;镇静的;平静的”，英文解释为“not worried about something, especially when this is slightly surprising”举个🌰：He seemed completely unperturbed at the idea of having to sing in a room full of strangers. 他似乎一点都不担心在一屋子陌生人面前唱歌。
excremental

📍在这里，excremental cosplay是一个形象的描述，用来形容冰淇淋看起来像粪便的样子。cosplay通常指的是“角色扮演”，但在这里它被用作一个比喻，表示冰淇淋是在“模仿”或“扮演”粪便的角色。

urinate 的礼貌性说法，表示“撒尿，排尿”，英文解释为“polite word for urinate ”举个🌰：He proceeded to relieve himself against a tree. 他走到一棵树旁小解。
The inspiration behind the crapp-etizer also seems unclear.
这款便器开胃菜背后的灵感也似乎不甚明了。
crapp-etizer
crapp-etizer是一个双关语，由crap和appetizer两个词组合而成。
📍crap在口语中是指“垃圾”或“废话”，但也是“便便”的俚语。appetizer是“开胃菜”或“前菜”的意思。
📍所以，crapp-etizer在这里是指那种看起来或感觉像“便便”的开胃菜或前菜，用以形容那款与马桶和粪便有关的冰淇淋。这是一个幽默和玩味的表达方式。
Perhaps it was a Dada-esque commentary on the future of dining, in that everything inevitably ends up in the toilet (an edible version of artist Marcel Duchamp's 1917 opus “Fountain” — an upside-down urinal — comes to mind).
也许这是对未来餐饮的达达主义式的讽刺，意味着所有食物最终都会进入马桶（不禁让人想起艺术家马塞尔·杜尚（Marcel Duchamp）在1917年创作的《喷泉》的可食用版本——一个倒置的小便器）。
Dada-esque
-esque表示“...特色的，...风格的，...式的”，英文解释为“in the manner or style of a particular person, group, or place”，如：Kafkaesque (= in the style of the writer Franz Kafka ) 卡夫卡式的（指具有小说家卡夫卡的风格）；
📍Dada-esque是指与“达达主义”（Dadaism）相关或类似的。达达主义是20世纪初的一个艺术和文学运动，它反对传统的艺术和文化价值观，并以其荒诞、反逻辑和反传统的作品而著称。这个运动的目的是挑战现有的艺术和社会传统，并通过荒诞和反常规的方法来表达对战争和资本主义社会的不满。所以，Dada-esque在这里是指某种与达达主义风格或哲学相似的东西，即挑战传统、荒诞和反常规的。
commentary
表示“评论；评注；评述”，英文解释为“a set of written remarks on an event, book, or person that explains its subject or expresses an opinion on it”。

urinal
urinal /jʊəˈraɪ.nəl/ 表示“（男用）小便池；男厕所”，英文解释为“a device, usually attached to a wall, into which men or boys can urinate, or a building which contains one or more of these devices”
Viewers had a hard time stomaching the fecal-themed treat with one horrified commenter writing, “And people eat this s – – t?”
观众们难以接受这种以粪便为主题的食物，一位惊恐的评论者写道：“真的有人吃这玩意儿吗？”
stomach
stomach /ˈstʌm.ək/ 作名词，表示“胃；肚子，腹部”，英文解释为“an organ in the body where food is digested, or the soft front part of your body just below the chest”
作动词，表示“能够容忍，承受得住（令人不快的想法或景象）”，英文解释为“to be able to accept an unpleasant idea or watch something unpleasant”
fecal
形容词，英式 faecal，美式 fecal /ˈfiːkəl/ 表示“排泄物的；残渣的；糟粕的”；名词：英式 faeces 美式 feces 表示“粪便；排泄物”，英文解释为“the solid waste passed out of the body of a human or animal through the bowels”
“As a regular customer of yours, honestly this time I was shocked,” said another of the party pooper of the day.

“天哪，这个创意看起来真的很让人不安。”第三个人批评道。
Another viewer labeled the poop-sicle as “the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.”
另一位观众称这款“便便冰淇凌”为“我见过的最恶心的东西”。
poop
poop /puːp/这个词在比尔·盖茨在演讲中举起一杯“粪便”...一文中就接触过，poo / poop均表示“屎，大便”，英文解释为“solid waste from the body”；一说poo是英式，poop是美式，比较不正式，口语上更常用；而柯林斯英汉双解大词典解释称poo是儿童用语“大便；臭臭”（Poo is a child's word for faeces.）poop也可以作动词，表示“拉屎”，如： Did you poop in your pants? 你是不是拉在裤子里了？
poop还有一些奇怪的用法，比如：
📍poop out可以表示“筋疲力尽”，英文解释为：to become too tired to continue what you are doing. 举个🌰：I just poop out if I stay up too late. 我晚上熬夜熬得太晚的话就会筋疲力尽的。
还可以指机器或者设备“停止工作，停止运行，熄火”，英文解释为：to stop working or operating. 举个🌰：The engine pooped out before we reached our destination. 在我们抵达目的地之前发动机就坏了。
📍当然，更奇怪的是在old-fashioned slang中，作为名词的poop还可以表示“信息；事实”（information），感受下这个🌰：Did you get the poop on all the candidates? 你弄到所有候选人的信息了吗？
poop-sicle
poop-sicle由两部分组成："poop"（便便）和"-sicle"（来自“popsicle”，意为冰棍或冰棒）。所以，"poop-sicle" 在这里是指看起来像便便的冰淇淋或冰棒。这是一个戏谑的方式来描述这款冰淇淋，因为它的外观可能让人联想到便便。
And it wasn't just the sorbet's scatological resemblance that put people off.
而令人反感的不仅仅是冰淇凌与粪便的相似之处。
