Horse semen for New Zealand food festival

Shots of horse semen will be introduced at an upcoming New Zealand food festival.

The item will be on the menu at next month's annual Wildfoods Festival, along with raw scorpions and chocolate-covered beetles.

Racehorse breeder Lindsay Kerslake claimed to Fairfax Media that the shots would "taste like a milkshake".

He said: "The idea is you'll have as much zizz as a stallion for a week afterwards."

Organiser Mike Keenan told AFP that Kerslake thought it would offer "something different", adding: "He's working on a number of flavours, from vanilla right through to strawberry and chocolate."
