Main Dishes From Hell.

  • Excellent. Your food obsession is infectious Dizzy...
  • (Click on "The Potted Meat Story" at the bottom for an excellent overview.) If you were raised by a series of alcoholic baby-sitters, this is sure to bring to bring back some dinnertime memories...
  • I wonder if the collector ever tasted any of this stuff. Curiosity would have driven me to try at least some of them - how often do you get the chance to see what water buffalo tastes like?
  • Disclaimer: This collection is for amusement purposes only. None of these meats have ever been opened or eaten. I actually saw those cans on the main page for sale in a shop once. ...I didn't buy them.
  • sadly, many of the exotic ones appear to be jokes rather than real potted meat products, not labeled well enough for them to be legally for human consumption, so i don't know how to react to those. my mother-in-law gave me a can of the "road tenderized armadillo" a few years back. as it had an expiration date on it, i eventually opened it before it expired. it was, apparently, just plain cat food with a novelty label. (either that or my cats really did eat an armadillo.)
  • Are they Billy Bob Thornton approved?
  • I thought ol' Billy Bob announced after his split with that Jolie lady that he had an eating disorder (like anorexia?), and thus would most likely never give us a thumbs-up. I just ate half a tin of White-Breast Chicken Spam, and never felt better. I give it a DOUBLE-Thumber!!!
  • correction: TUR KE Y Spam. motor use diminish ing... auditory hallucin-
  • My god diz... they're made of meat...
  • Heh. My (meaty) hand salutes you, Forky...
