Meat House is Gross, Interesting

meathouse.jpg

Now bear with me, I think this is just as gross as anybody, but how clever! Since I don't eat meat, using it as a building material seems just as reasonable as using cement, which I also don't eat. Anyway, this sausage house with a bacon roof is neat. I can't figure out what the lawn is made from, though. - Link.

(Thanks, Brandon!)

Hey all, we actually made the 'grass' out of sausage meat and lots of food colouring :)

Really nice photos of composed food landscapes - including the one of meat!

How many dense meat stacks does it take to make the meat house?

Ha! I know, it was just for comedic effect. I like materials science. Thanks for the comments, guys!

awwww being a vegetarian is no reason to ignore materials science! ;)

You can't post anything about meat without a vegetarian putting in their 2 cents.

Ugh...Just one more reason to go vegetarian!

Could the grass be parsley?

I don't think it's any of those things. The rice is underneath the whole structure, the green stuff is poured on top of the rice. The whole thing appears to be baked, so it can't be guacamole. But I could be wrong. I have no idea what it is.

Actually I think it might be colored rice (the grass)


Posted by: Carikate on January 8, 2008 at 3:49 PM

Quite possible that the grass is guacamole -- it's a Mexican food condiment which is mainly avocado based, although I've never seen any that's *quite* that bright a green...

I love that game! I hadn't thought about it, but in that game, this house would be like having a house out of gold!

Am I the only one reminded of the game Kingdom of Loathing (in which meat is both currency and building material)? I am? OK. :-)

That is totally disgusting!
