During a Food of the Fabulous 50's party, I sculpted a meatloaf into a whole suckling pig, with potato in mouth; served on a bed of glowing Kraft Mac n' Cheese.
I make stone henge with bangers n mash. just plonk two sausages upright in the mash, bit of mash for cement top it off with another sausage and viola.
And I don't mind doing it when I go home for family meals because my dad does it too :P
A co-worker brought in a Breakfast Cake one morning, a recipe he said was taken from this site - something Bisquick-based for the actual cake mixed with bacon bits, frosted with a variant of white sausage gravy. It was actually damned good in small portions, but the thing looked like a regular cake and many people who cut a slice were expecting something very different.
@appletoad: Building a meat structure out of chicken would be like building your house out of cardboard. Technically possible, but not advisable. And everyone will laugh at you.
Numbers 5 and 8 don't look too bad. While likely quite unhealthy still not nearly as bad as some of the other monstrosities. 5 looks like something you could happily finish eating. Most of the others I wouldn't want to even start.
I may not have a degree in engineering, or even a degree at all (yet), but looking at these? Yeah, I got a death wish. One that ends in a mouthful of meat and regret. And bacon.
I've noticed a lot of meat related postings recently, especially bacon, the true meat candy. I never knew that meat and gadgets could blend together so well
@(Starman) AnalysisDialysis: Yes because all meat is evil. 'Corrupt meat industry'? Care to explain how you came by this or are you yet another idiot commenter blathering on about something you know nothing about?
I AM in the meat industry. You want to go after something? Try looking at poultry or fish. The inspections and regulations those undergo are trivial in comparison. Some fish plants are only inspected once a YEAR. Meat plants must be under inspection while in operation, constantly, with not just one but MANY inspectors for all stages of production. Grocery chains are so paranoid about recalls and liability as are producers that we don't play games like that at ALL here. Note this is out of JAPAN.
@Buford T. Justice: Ok. I sadly didn't mean anything by my "corrupt" comment. In any case, I only meant that as a snide quota about any industry not wanting to uncover the truth in order for profit.
But you have very valid points there. The fishing industry perhaps is even more guilty than meat, with the ineptitude of fishing farms, and in Japan, harvesting whale meat under the guise of "research."
But hey, thanks for reminding me to put a sarcasm tag at the end of every joke I try to make (no matter how lame it is).
@Lukasz Fabis: Except for beans and legumes, which can play host to salmonella and cause as many or more cases of poisoning than meat. Always wash and cook 'em!
@fuchikoma:
Well, any veggies could be contaminated, but that any holds true for any food. Still, brown string beans are a bigger turn-off than brownish-gray-pink meat.

Meaning it will never get adopted by the corrupt meat industry. :(
