pica \ˈpī-kə\ noun: an abnormal desire to eat substances (as chalk or ashes) not normally eaten
Etymology: New Latin, from Latin, magpie
Pica would be a delightfully quirky theme for a restaurant. Inedible substances need not be served; conventional fare could be simply manipulated or disguised so as to appear repulsive.

I think some restaurants already do this, unfortunately not within the context of farce.
I remember in the 70's there were public service announcements about children eating lead paint chips. They called it "Pica Syndrome".
Boy, Have not heard that word for at least 30 years!
