Not for the squeamish or vegetarians
I don’t have much time for marketing stunts, but the Wesker and Son pop-up butchers at London’s Smithfield Market piqued my interest. Organised by the publishers of the upcoming Resident Evil 6 video game, Wesker and Son sells meat made to look like human body parts. I managed to sneak in without revealing my identity and managed to get a look around. Sadly the man on duty wasn’t actually a butcher so he wasn’t able to tell me much about the pork used. Still, Wesker and Son is nothing if not a giggle and is open Friday 28th and Saturday 29th September from 09.00 to 18.00.
One unexpected highlight was the presence of Tongue and Cheek serving up both ox tongue and pork cheek sandwiches, although sadly they won’t be present on Friday and Saturday. The tender ox tongue paired with garlic and chimichurri sauce was good, but the highlight was the moist and very tangy pork cheek accompanied by coleslaw. The pork cheek sandwich is currently available from Tongue and Cheek alongside their excellent burgers, with the ox tongue due to join the menu soon. Well worth seeking out.
A fistful of dough.

it’s all just dead flesh, whether human or pork. To be disgusted byone and not the other is nonsense.
No because eating meat from human beings is canabalism…PS its not flesh
IT is flesh, it’s pork and beef shaped into people parts.
NOM NOM NOM super tasty fresh prosciutto and sausage
in case you didn’t catch on, meat IS flesh
No, it’s cannibalism.

Anyone who’s ever eaten an animal can say nothing here. Especially if you’ve eaten hotdogs, etc. which are filled with God knows what…

Uh, could I get a large tube steak please?
Ooof. As illogical as it may be, that makes me feel quite ill.

Ahhh, Daily Mail readers. A considerate, good humoured, light hearted, happy go-lucky bunch.
Hello, I wonder if I might use your pictures in my blog? Of course I would let the readers know that this was where they came from.
Hi there – as long as I’m credited clearly then that’s not a problem.

The only thing that would probably disgust me about eating human flesh would be that I know about most people’s trashy eating habits therefore the meat quality would be likely extremely low.
Yeah, I’m sure vegans would taste better… LMAO
