Epic Grinds is a Tumblr blog that documents the meat sculptures of grocery store worker Kieran Gormley. The sculptures’ subjects range from various creatures, to a few pop culture characters — all ready to be brought home and reshaped into an unfortunate meat loaf.
The meaty art is constantly on display at Gormley’s market, Uwajimaya, in Seattle.
Want to enjoy the satisfying smell of meat, even when you’re eating something else? There’s an app for that.
Brought to us by Japanese company Scentee, is something called Hana Yakiniku or ‘Nose Grilled Meat.’ It’s an app accompanied by a scent cartridge for your smartphone. When prompted on the screen, your smartphone will emit the scent of a meat.
The rationale for this, is that the aroma of meats will help satiate the eater, when they’re actually dining on something that may not be as caloric and meaty. Japan, you just keep being you.

Dost thou require the tastiest dragon meat in all the land? Canned Dragon Meat will be a hit at your next feast. Not only does it conveniently provide the meat pre-slayed, but it uses only red dragon meat, which we hear is the best. No mention if the dragon is free-range organic.

Who would’ve thought that embroidery and meat would go so well together? Artist Ali Lander-Shindler already knows that meat goes with everything, and has created a series of meat-inspired embroidered typography.
Created with colors and patterns influenced by the subject — for instance the fleshy pinkish hues of Canadian Bacon — the series also contains incredible textures that you’ll want to reach out and touch. Touch the meat, touch it!!
