The important reason Manu Feildel is creating penis-shaped culinary masterpieces.

 

For some reason, phallic shaped things that are phallic shaped by accident, always evoke a giggle.

Childish? Well, yes. Funny? Also yes.

So imagine our delight when Manu Feildel posted this on his Instagram.


MANU! ARE YOU AWARE THAT LOOKS LIKE A PENIS?!

Turns out, when you actually read his caption, he created said phallic culinary masterpiece - on purpose.

Quick side note: while we're on the topic of funny food... post continues after video.

He's helping to raise awareness about prostate, testicular, penile, bladder and kidney cancer. All of those cancers that occur "under the belt" if you will.

"We all talk about cancers, but I think people don't like to talk about these kinds of cancers...about their genitals," Manu explained.

"Ladies are more at ease to talk about it then men.

"Men are more shy about it I suppose."

Manu continued: "Men and their private parts...they're always just talking about size or whatever. It's a fun topic to take the mickey out of each other, but if a man has an issue with it, it's harder to bring up."

The My Kitchen Rules judge is one of a list of local and international top chefs that have lent their expertise to the Australian New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trial Group (ANZUP).

Here are some of the other... masterpieces:


 


 



Here at Mamamia we're all about getting behind campaigns that matter, and if a touch of humour helps do that. Double win.

Manu is of the same opinion.

"It's not there [the pictures] to be disgusting, it's there to make people talk. What a good way to make people talk!" he said.

 

ANZUP is trying to raise vital funds for those cancers that men in particular hate talking about.

They've already had vast improvement in health outcomes thanks to clinical trial research, they just need to be able to do more.

There are currently 160 cancer centres and hospitals around the world running trials by ANZUP.

"All of the major milestones in improving cancer treatments worldwide have come through clinical trials, but we still have a long way to go," said CEO Margaret McJannett.

They need all of us, but particularly men, to be willing to talk about it. To know about trials, and their importance in helping to find better and more effective treatments and preventative techniques.

Tell your boyfriends, husbands, brothers and dads. Awareness after all is key.
