So meaty...
I wasn't sure whether to plate this dish for here or clairvoyantwank; will move it if necessary. There is wank, but it's tiny so far. A bacon-wrapped wank mignon, if you will, with potential to grow into a wank porterhouse with the right seasonings.

Apparently someone wants to sew raw meat to someone else for a photoshoot, and asks the question: "is this safe?"

The general reaction is something like "um, no, wtf." Same once s_f gets hold of it.

Until ius_naturale comes along with this:

I just don't see the stupid, just another case of someone labeling something they don't agree with or value as stupid.

A few posters try to explain, with varying degrees of tact or lack thereof, why poking a needle and thread through a piece of raw meat and into someone's skin is stupid. ius_naturale (whose username I keep sporfling at because it's just a twee bit too close to "au jus" here) goes all passive-aggressive. And interprets one, maybe two comments in the whole discussion that go "ew, meat fetish" as the entire discussion being one big OMG MEAT FETISH BASHING orgy. And keeps pulling out the "I WORK WITH HIGH SCHOOL KIDS" defense against ...well, basically everything.

That's all the actual wank there is for now, but it has potential for growth especially if loud PETA-types catch wind of it.

Also, horrendous meat puns here if you are into that sort of thing.

Yeah, apparently the rotten shark thing is a test of manliness, according to Gordon Ramsay, who tried it, and then had to throw up. It was even more hilarious when James May from Top Gear didn't throw up at all.

Reading this made me so happy. James May wins at life.

He also beat Gordon at the 'making some dish and then giving it to some people in the restaurant who then get to choose which dish is best'. It was the best episode EVER.

And those bits are on YouTube as well, because youtube provides with lolz!

I love raw beef too. But only if it's from a cow we've raised/butchered ourselves, or a friend has raised/butchered.

Lamb is AMAZING raw, as well.

I've eaten raw beef, but only the super irradiated kind. Irradiation still won't stop prion diseases.

Is it so yummy because there are holes in my brain? ):

Yeah, prion diseases are why we try to raise our own beef. I think it tastes better because under the thin veneer of civilization, we're all Cro-Magnons at heart.

Yeah, it's part of a cultural festival once a year. They only eat a tiny piece or something.

Anthony Bourdain described it as the worst thing he'd ever put in his mouth on purpose.

My boyfriend actually tried that! (He will eat anything that used to be alive.) Someone from the Icelandic office of his company had come over for a meeting or something and had promised to bring some over for people to try.

He said that actually, it didn't taste like anything at all. Just had kind of a gelatinous texture. He says the awful reputation is merely because it smelled bad enough to empty out that floor of the building when they opened it.
