I don't know if you guys will like this or not, but I think it's fun. I was in a Beehaw thread talking about Halloween themed food, and most of the comments were they were either hard to make or looked good, but didn't taste good. That made me remember back to when I made the Meat Hand!
It's just regular meatloaf, so use whatever recipe your family likes, but instead of a loaf pan, shape it into a hand on a sheet pan. Top it with some sliced cheese before baking so it gets all crisped up and creepy looking, and cook it. Then place it on mashed taters.
I went simple, but you can add some panache with some onion slices for fingernails and a chunk for the wrist bone like in this pic I grabbed from Google.
It's simple, tastes great if you're into meatloaf, and some ketchup will give an added touch as some "blood" as well. And it looks pretty good for not much work. If you need a spooky Halloween dish for fun family dinner or for a party, give it a shot!
Hah, this goes to show everyone's creep factor works differently. The witch fingers to me are more creepy than the hand because the thought of removing a fingernail makes me wince inside. I get over it enough to enjoy the cookie because it's just a cookie, but you can see i did not opt to make the onion fingernails on my meat hand! ๐
Ooo those marshmallows sound like they could catch someone by surprise! That's a cool idea I never heard of though.
