Shaw's Original Fir...
Ewwww.... Maybe it's worse because I'm vegetarian, but that meat hand is absolutely repulsive. I mean, I guess that's the idea, so... it worked. :shudder
I agree. That meat hand totally freaked me out.
Wow. I am one of those wierd people who really gets into Halloween. I have an annual party and we try to go all out. And even I think that hand is disgusting...my stomauch turned just looking at the picture.
The melon brain, on the other hand, is awesome. Our neighbor made that for our party last year and it was a big hit. As was the buffet made up of Dracula's collection of gross things: scabs (corn flakes), goblin toes (mini hot dogs), maggots (plain maccaroni noodles), and eye of newt (grapes).
That is so gross it's awesome! Perfect for halloween. The only thing missing is some 'blood' to come out when it's cut into!
All those ideas are great - please keep the halloween stuff coming!
The hand is vile, but that's kind of the point really isn't it? The watermelon brain is just perfect though!
Sweet Zombie Jesus!
That hand might be the most disgusting "food" I've ever seen, but totally awesome. I'm going to have to serve this without warning just to see the looks on peoples faces when it hits the table.
That severed hand is so nasty!!!
The hot dog mummies are straight from the Pillsbury website -- I made those years ago from their recipe.
That hand is AMAZING!
These are great! When I was young my mother was my Girl Scout leader. We always had a great Halloween costume party and she and the other mothers brought fun food like this. As we got older we came up with the gross food. Love it!
i love it!!! i'm making it for my hubby, it will totally freak him out! :)
This is soooo great! LOL!! Hooray for Halloween!!!!
I facebooked this link straight away :D I was so grossed out I HAD to find out what on earth could look so life-like and stomach-churning.
I LOVE Halloween and last year, I went all out and made some very labor intensive, but pretty impressive DEADLY cupcakes!
I used Red Velvet cake, tinted buttercream icing to look like flesh tone, used red decorative gel for the blood and made the little knives from chocolate melts!

I hate watermelon, but that watermelon brain is so cool!
Ugh, utterly repulsive. It'd do nicely next to peeled grapes. ;)
Wonderful! I would totally eat that hand. I love the other goodies, too.
My two hands are in the oven as I write this. Wow, so cool! Only minor improvements...leek instead of onion for wrist bone, parchment paper beneath with slits to drain juices on a rack suspended over a cookie sheet (with sides, of course). All else I did the same...wait, I couldn't find a mold so I went even better and shaped it by *hand.* Turned out great. Before baking, anyway! Next up, carving the apple heads. I'll float them in tart cherry juice. This is so much fun!!
Hate that hand.
Oh man, that hand gives me the creeps! Well done... i guess (no pun intended)!
LOVE meat. HATE that hand.
