I was just planning on hacking up the first arrivals and serving them to the other guests, but I guess this method will be more practical. posted by Burhanistan at 5:04 PM on October 28, 2009 [1 favorite]
How does one dress as a rapist meat-eater for Halloween? posted by Blazecock Pileon at 5:04 PM on October 28, 2009
That's disgusting. Well done. posted by heyho at 5:40 PM on October 28, 2009
I saw this earlier (via slog) just as I was putting a slice of pizza in my mouth. Not a good combo. posted by saffry at 5:41 PM on October 28, 2009
I'm both moderately repulsed and strangely hungry. Surely someone can make fake blood out of ketchup, right? posted by MeghanC at 5:47 PM on October 28, 2009

Dayum, between this and the "How to cook a steak" thread I'm so hungry I could eat a...meat. posted by Greg_Ace at 6:07 PM on October 28, 2009 [1 favorite]
Reminds me of a potluck I contributed to many years ago. The theme was edible art. The crowd had a fondness for "the dark side", so I thought what the hell, why not make use a fake severed hand I had lying around (a movie prop). I made a beef spaghetti sauce and just stuck the hand in. But something was missing so I added some green food coloring to the sauce to give it that "lying around rotting for a week" feel.
People hardly touched it. But it tasted fine. posted by philip-random at 6:09 PM on October 28, 2009
I don't eat meat generally, but I'd eat this. posted by brundlefly at 6:29 PM on October 28, 2009
I once made a meat gingerbead-man. I mean, gingerbread men are cute, meat is good, so the two together?
Creepy. You make a guy out of dough, and he's all cute and you can still eat him without remorse.
But make him out of meat, and you're in the uncanny valley. The uncanny meat valley.
My family went vegetarian shortly after. posted by zippy at 6:30 PM on October 28, 2009 [17 favorites]
I was thinking of making one of these out of lentils or something, but I'm not spending $22.50 on a hand mold. posted by Stylus Happenstance at 6:45 PM on October 28, 2009
If it was made out of bacon it would be Best of the Web. posted by cazoo at 7:00 PM on October 28, 2009
I love it when something that sounds like a great idea turns out in reality to be a great idea. posted by Saydur at 7:04 PM on October 28, 2009
Of course, my brain just took Cat Pie Hurt's comment and made me realize, this is what it looks like when you actually cook and eat the Hamburger Helper hand. posted by hippybear at 7:36 PM on October 28, 2009 [8 favorites]
Nobody tell Natalie Portman about this.
Isn't it great? We get Natalie P.'s vegetarian essay this morning and within five minutes there's a 'how to cook a steak' post. Then the Meat Hand shows up! posted by mannequito at 7:50 PM on October 28, 2009
I just had a Halloween baby shower this past weekend for my sister-in-law. Had I seen this before then, I totally would have found a mold for a baby and made a baby meatloaf that we could have eaten. posted by chiababe at 7:59 PM on October 28, 2009 [2 favorites]

If God hadn't wanted us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat. posted by philip-random at 8:42 PM on October 28, 2009
Seeing the title "Hand of Fate" immediately made me think of this. posted by mike3k at 8:55 PM on October 28, 2009

Don't forget SPAM, the marble of meats, easy to carve and whittle. A few Halloweens ago I made a fetus out of spam, and carried it around in a mason jar full of green Kool-aid. I think the party host's dog ate it near the end of the night, if drunken memory serves. posted by benzenedream at 9:52 PM on October 28, 2009 [5 favorites]
I want a lover with a meat hand,
I want a lover with a meaty touch,
I want somebody who will take some time,
Not come and go, in a greasy rush,
Vegetarians and vegans just don't understand,

Manos: the hands of meat? posted by jadepearl at 12:11 AM on October 29, 2009
Too much work. I'll probably stick with the tootsie roll-grapenuts cereal faux kitty litter. posted by StickyCarpet at 4:28 AM on October 29, 2009
Oh yeah, I wish I was a better cook, because it would be blast to do a much more extensive corpse; hand, arm, shoulder, torso and head, and serve it to the neighbor kids.
I'd either be the coolest guy on the street, or that weirdo that got arrested while everyone was trick-or-treating. posted by quin at 9:32 AM on October 29, 2009

Alternatively, you could just serve them offal. A nice heart, some liver, a few kidneys, cow's brains, chitterlings, tripe, black pudding, etc.
Why feed them fake stuff when you can freak them out by serving the real thing? posted by PeterMcDermott at 2:44 AM on October 30, 2009
I tried making these hands yesterday. Unfortunately, since I had no kitchen stocked with meat, I had to make do with mashed potatoes, rice, and beans instead. I also wish I had a plastic hand mold somewhere... posted by movicont at 9:15 AM on October 30, 2009
