I don’t know if you guys will like this or not, but I think it’s fun. I was in a Beehaw thread talking about Halloween themed food, and most of the comments were they were either hard to make or looked good, but didn’t taste good. That made me remember back to when I made the Meat Hand!
It’s just regular meatloaf, so use whatever recipe your family likes, but instead of a loaf pan, shape it into a hand on a sheet pan. Top it with some sliced cheese before baking so it gets all crisped up and creepy looking, and cook it. Then place it on mashed taters.
I went simple, but you can add some panache with some onion slices for fingernails and a chunk for the wrist bone like in this pic I grabbed from Google.
It’s simple, tastes great if you’re into meatloaf, and some ketchup will give an added touch as some “blood” as well. And it looks pretty good for not much work. If you need a spooky Halloween dish for fun family dinner or for a party, give it a shot!
It’s Halloween season, this is still food. I think this is freaking cool.
This post has my approval, any reports will be ignored.
Nice job, OP!
Nice, I second guessed myself after posting and checking the rules, but the photo quality seemed ok for a mobile pic from 10 years ago, it came out “beautiful” based on what the intent was, and it’s the right season, it’s not like I posted this at Christmas. It also looked to be the biggest food related group, so I figured the most people could have fun with this since it’s awesome in context and anyone can make it with things they probably have on hand.
If anyone took any offense, it wasn’t intended to be crude or to diminish what you guys normally post, it was just for the fun of the season.
