I ate lunch in this place.

Yum.

Vegetarian Ham—Now flavored with chicken!

I love the line about "Vegetarian food are now complete without Natural Flavors duplicating the taste of meat and poultry"!

Where can I get lots of meat?

Oh, duh. The meatateria, of course! (Via.)

Whale Bacon?

It's weird to think that in the 21st century, some people still eat whale meat. But as this Japanese ad shows us, they do.

And I don't know which is worse: The whale bacon or the spastic narrators!

How do you say "weird meat" in French?

New York Times

Hey, do you want to celebrate the festival called the Brotherhood of Guts? Of course you do! But that means you have to go to the French city of Limoges. Since 1973, it’s where the yearly get-together known there as La Frairie des Petits Ventres happens.

Limoges is famous for its butchers. So while you're at the festival, the three most popular things to eat are:

—Terrines, or cooked pig cheeks.

—Amourettes, or cooked sheep testicles (right). What do sheep testicles taste like? Don’t ask me!

—Tripe. To make tripe, you take the stomachs of a cow (cows have more than one!) cut them up, and cook them.

Okay, those are the classics. What else is there? A butcher named François Brun has a dish called nez d’amour (“nose of love”). It’s a cooked pig snout stuffed with pig tongue. (Just like in real life!)

How much do the people of Limoges like their weird meats? Its church has a statue called La Vierge au Rognon. It shows Mary handing baby Jesus a kidney. A kidney!? But kidneys filter pee! 

I think I’ll stick with pig cheeks, thanks.

Behold...the Meat Head!

Andy Oakland is a genius. How else could he have figured out how to make an edible head out of meat in five easy steps?

If you find yourself having any trouble with Andy's instructions (which are over here at Make: Projects), then I know just the guy who you could ask for help.
