#MonstrousMonday ~ Looking for ideas for your Thanksgiving dinner? Look no further. Behold the cockentrice (No, it’s not a piece of my art, it was somebody’s dinner) A feast for the eyes, and possibly your stomach. This bizarre creation was a popular luxury dish served at opulent medieval banquets. Creating a cockentrice requires sewing together a piglet and a capon filled with stuffing, then roasting it/them (the one pictured here is raw and still needs to go in the oven) A capon is a rooster that was castrated at a very young age to make its meat more tender. Sometimes they are fattened up via force-feeding in the same manner ducks and geese are force-fed to fatten them for making foie gras (an expensive pâté made from their livers). The cockentrice is traditionally constructed by sewing the torso of the piglet to the bottom half of the capon but sometimes a turkey is used instead of a capon. Alternately, the torso of the bird can be sewn to the rump of the piglet, a less common configuration. So, next time you need to "wow" your dinner guests, here is the gold standard. Or, perhaps better just to save the recipe for some interesting (and unappetizing) trivia to bring up over dinner. You’re welcome.

So last weekend I bought omusum tripe on an impulse buy. This weekend I made a tripe soup and it was fantastic! I made a broth in the crockpot with oxtail bones, then made a soup with onions, bokchoy, chicken sausage, and the tripe. Topped with bean sprouts, green onions, and cilantro. #success #healthychoices #whole30 #whole30life #whole30soup #whole30dinner #foodgram #foodgasm #tripe #omusum #trynewfoods #bizarrefoods #soup https://www.instagram.com/p/BygrTgehIth/?igshid=kgjlg43oalt

Over the years a lot of my work has been dismissed as campy by critics lacking the intellect required to peel back the layers. This sculpture is a reminder that you should never judge a book by its cover.

TITLE: Turducken à la Monsanto YEAR OF COMPLETION: 2013 MATERIALS: Duck, turkey, and rooster skins mounted over a custom made armature of wire, clay, and carved urethane foam.


Glazed in beguiling dark humor, this piece has a serious message that rings even more true today than it did when I originally made it. As most of you likely have heard, the population of Earth just reached 8 billion. In the span of a mere decade since this piece was created, an additional billion humans now live on the planet. Below is the statement that accompanied this sculpture when it was exhibited in 2014 in a themed exhibition titled "Fruitful and Multiplying; The Overpopulation Exhibit”. So much for progress.

“This piece is a commentary on the absurdity and entitlement of gourmet foods, the privilege of being able to allocate food for the purpose of art, and the disconcerting technology of interspecies grafting performed by the bioengineering industry. The strain on our planet's resources has become immense as the population of Earth crests 7 billion. With a tipping point looming, genetic engineers are creating hybrid species of livestock and crops designed to produce the highest yield possible while using the least amount of resources. The reality is many developing countries do not have the means to utilize this controversial technology and only an elite portion of the Earth's population will profit from these so-called advances. We live in a country rich in all resources. It enables us to use food towards a myriad of frivolous ends, including our entertainment. We create designer cuisine that is more about status than it is about sustenance, and we feed human quality food to our pets. While we enjoy our luxury foods, for much of the world just having food is the luxury...”

Follow @roamingshanodotcom Fancy a cup of world's most expensive coffee? Before you try there's a disturbing secret behind. This is also one of invention made by mistake. This coffee is procured from the poop of civet cat after they are fed with coffee cherries. These cats can't digest the cofee bean and excrete the seed with their feces. Disgusting fact right? Well, people has shared that it's one of the tastiest coffee in the world and no wonder why it's to expensive.

Cuitlacoche/Huitlacoche aka "Corn Truffle" aka "Corn Smut" looks gnarly, really intimidating as an ingredient. But I'm still pretty excited to try it. Will be making a scrambled egg dish with it for dinner. #cuitlacoche #huitlacoche #corntruffle #cornsmut #mexicanfood #bizarrefoods #墨西哥菜 #奇怪 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3g0tWLjqEq/?igshid=yoaec3ppjhe4
