Paula Gonu ate her own meniscus with bolognese: Long live the Mediterranean diet!

Paula Gonu, the 30-year-old influencer who has confessed that, as part of Mediterranean gastronomy, she once ate her meniscus. With a bolognese, yes. What are we? Monsters?

Every day miracle diets appear on social networks, those that promise that you will lose twenty kilos in a week and a half eating bread, rice and pastries. It sounds impossible (because it is) but they will always be healthier than the diet that, it seems, has chosen Paula Gonu, the 30-year-old influencer who has confessed that, as part of Mediterranean cuisine, she once ate her meniscus. With a bolognese, of course. What are we, monsters?

More or meniscus

It all started when he had to go to the doctor for an operation because his meniscus was too big. As it was a more or less normal operation, he was chatting with the doctor and in the end he encouraged him to take it home in a small jar with formaldehyde. “It’s yours,” he told her. It’s not a lie, of course: some have Chinese vases, others Rubik’s cubes, Paula Gonu has menisci in formaldehyde. About tastes…

A week later, Gonu was with her partner of the moment and confessed to him that she wanted to eat him. “Just kidding” she says, excusing herself that it was hers. Con la coña normally you order a pizza with pineapple or eat more spice than you should, but Gonu eats a knee sandwich. Not the Knee, no, you read that right.

We hope the bolognese sauce came out great, because you don’t always want to eat your own body parts. “It’s mine and it was clean, it was a piece. I’m sure you’ve eaten worse,” he said on the Club 113 podcast, with all of his callers aware of having eaten at Taco Bell at one time or another. So, just like the protagonists of ‘¡Viven!’ but in its Madrid bourgeoisie version, the influencer can now say that she has innovated like Daviz Muñoz. He has eaten semen, she has eaten meniscus. What doesn’t occur to one occurs to the other.

“The tip is visible”: Paula Gonu suffers a sexist attack due to a taxi driver being too insistent on her breasts”

It’s a bit like what happened to Paula Gonu, who between extremely uncomfortable laughs couldnt believe the delirious conversation that she had had to endure and that, of course, she posted on TikTok.

Riding in a cab requires luck, expertise and conversational skills that not everyone has. Depending on the day, the conversation can revolve around city traffic, soccer, one’s experiences or, if you get the worst possible choice on the destination dice, politics. And you’re lost. You don’t want to contradict the person who is taking you somewhere, after all. This is a bit what happened to Paula Gonu, who, amidst the most uncomfortable laughter, could not believe the delirious conversation she had to endure and which, of course, she has posted on TikTok.

Just the tip

Faced with the education of some, who have been in the profession for years and know perfectly well how to treat anyone who gets into the car, there is the rudeness of a few who, if they touch you, can ruin your day. When Gonu, the 30-year-old Catalan influencer, got into that cab, she didn’t imagine that the driver would be one of the latter.

Neither short nor lazy, the cab driver thought that the best topic of conversation was not the weather or work, but the breasts. More specifically, hers. “It hasn’t been in fashion for long,” the man insisted, trying to bring up conversation in the most unexpected place, “it’s a new fad of not wearing a bra”. Gonu, normalizing the scene and, we suppose, trying to calm down for not calling him everything, tried to conclude with “I don’t know, I’ve never had one”. And since there was a reply, the driver suddenly felt free to insist on the subject.

“Never? Really? Well, you’re comfortable like that, aren’t you? Let her air, right?” You know those times when the most awkward, cutting silence would be more pleasant than anything that could be said? Well, that was one of them. And alas, the boy filled it in with more words harping on the subject, just in case it hadn’t been clear: “But it looks like it depends on how it looks, the little tippy tip looks”. Ah, yes, I have read this one: a love poem by Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, right?

Crazy Taxi

If you still haven’t taken your hands to your head (or have had some retching), wait, there’s more: “It depends, some of them wear very… thin clothes, you can see the tip”. Someone should have reminded the gentleman (whom you can imagine saying “I am not a sexist” at the bar) that FakeTaxi is fiction.

The influencer herself wrote about the incident, saying “I laughed nervously, with the ‘tip’ comment I wanted to vomit. I was wearing a plain cotton top from Zara, just so you know”. The video has half a million views and around 416 comments, mixing words of encouragement with those from people who try to imitate or even surpass the disgust of the taxi driver. It seems that sometimes in real life, there are people who are even more repulsive than those hiding behind a pseudonym.

The next time you get into a taxi and the driver shows you photos of their pets, talks about how well Atlético Madrid is doing, or brags about their family, remember that anything is better than having a conversation about bras, breasts, and “tips”. Sometimes it’s better to have nothing to talk about.
