A new bakery has been slammed over its range of waffles shaped like male and female genitalia.
Dickery bakery in Warsaw, Poland opened last Saturday (July 2) and has provoked the anger of far-right politicians in the country.
Another Dickery bakery opened in the city of Wrocław back in April. Both offer customers penis-shaped “Hero” waffles or a vagina-shaped “Shero”, served with your choice of toppings.

Owners Ruslana, 19, and Krystian, 22, say the aim of their bizarre baked goods is to challenge societal taboos.
They said the backlash has "confirmed our belief that the decision we made not to make ‘socially acceptable’ waffles is correct", adding that Poland has a "culture that doesn’t talk much about sexuality and doesn’t allow us to be fully ourselves".
“Our goal is to make the shape of our products evoke thoughts of joy, equality and acceptance,” they told local news outlet TuWrocław.
They went on to urge people to “stop pretending that certain things don’t exist” and called for “bodies and sexuality to become something normal”.
The new Warsaw branch has launched a social media contest where customers, keen to share snaps of the raunchy waffles, can win sex education books.
However, not everyone in Poland is happy with Dickery, with backlash online spiralling to new levels after they shared an image of two young children eating their products, according to Notes From Poland.
MP Krzysztof Bosak, a leader of the far-right nationalist Confederation party, fumed on Twitter: "It is sad that the worst sewage of the Western world has already poured into Poland, destroying the hearts, minds and bodies of children.
"On the other hand, it shows that we have entered the decisive stage of…the battle for Poland,” he added. “And fighting for a good cause is a joy."

Ziemowit Przebitkowski, former leader of the far-right All-Polish Youth, went as far as to call on police to investigate and people to protest.
Anna Mrowińska, from Poland’s ruling national-conservative Law and Justice party, also urged prosecutors to take action against Dickery.
