If you did get this far, we will tell you that this unique ramen dish, which of course, is basically made from the standard ingredients of the dish, including: noodles, vegetables, eggs, dashi broth and spices, comes with a repulsive, scary and delusional addition - the foot of a crocodile. Yes, you read that right. Crocodile. Although "only" a foot and one that comes after being roasted or cooked in water, it is still quite a formidable foot including the claws and scales.
The dish can be found at The Witch Cat restaurant in Yunlin District, Taiwan, but you can't come anytime you want and just order it. Due to its uniqueness and the fact that the crocodile legs are received by special and limited order from a crocodile farm - it is necessary to order at least three days in advance.

Because of the interest the dish generates and due to the fact that many order it just to take pictures and share it on social media, the restaurant charges a "waste" fine of three dollars from diners who do not taste it, but order a plate only for the purpose of increasing the number of followers and garnering likes. The cost of the dish is about $48.
Not surprisingly, the dish launched in a Facebook post quickly went viral, but the restaurant owner says that not many are really willing to taste it and that interest in it is mainly for distribution purposes online. Users on various social platforms also do not express culinary enthusiasm for the unique dish, and comments such as "it's repulsive", "shocking" and "who's the idiot who thought it was a good idea" star in quantities.
The inspiration for this dish, in case you were wondering, comes from two other strange dishes that have gone viral in recent months. The first was a ramen dish in a restaurant in Taipei decorated with a 14-legged isopod. The second is a ramen dish called Frog Ranen served with
whole uncooked frog. We usually end with an appetite, but in this case we're sure it's not the right wish.
