Finger Food

Rated PG, pretty gross, may cause you to toss your cookies...If eating a hot dog itself was not bad enough, this is worse.

For the ultimate gross out meal, nothing like finding body parts in your meal. Human or otherwise. Instead of serving chicken fingers, serve real finger food. The butcher was probably not paying attention and whacked his hand with a meat cleaver when I ordered this cold cut or the deli-man accidentally decapitated a few digits off in the meat slicer. You can expand on this and make Frank and Beans with Frank in the beans... Adults can make their version of beanie weenie with this.

This was concocted while raiding the fridge for a midnight snack. With a bit of easy preparation, you can create your own identifiable remains for your ghoulish feast. Just beware of the zombies that are looking for their missing digits.

Enjoy with a ghoulish Halloween Egg Cream

Step 1: What's in a meat pie?

For this you will need:

- some frozen french fries (aka Freedom Fries, you know, pommes frites)

- some hot dogs, preferably the ones with skins or casing, but any type frankfurter will do. A bit harder to find, but they do sell the monster size Polish-sausage type red-hots. I have not tried this with Italian sausage, kielbasa, chorizo, or bratwurst but it should also give the same effect.

- some frozen prepared buffalo-style chicken wings or fried chicken wings

- a bit of butcher's twine or cotton string or clean thread

- a bit of aluminum foil

- Optional: a can of vegetarian beans in tomato sauce or whatever variety/flavor if you want a full entree. A can of beans with that slab of pork fat works also.

- blood-like condiments, catsup, ketchup or tomatoe sauce

i am a vegetarian so i cant use meat could i use a vegetarian substitute like morning star farms sausage links thanks

You should try. I guess you might need to brown it more so it looks more burnt fleshlike, regular hot dogs have that red nitrate color thing going on.

Halloween is so awesome and this would make a great addition to a creepily fabulous party- these rock!

I really don't think you need them to be finger-shaped. Hot dogs are nasty enough.

Was that being cynical or sarcastic? :)

I saw this and thought, "Wow, what an evil title." As it turns out, that was intentional. This scares me more than that sailor's eyebrows.

btw when they translated "finger licken good" into chinese they ended up with "eat your fingers off" lolz
freakyqwerty in reply to merseylessNov 27, 2010. 10:30 AM
Yeah well when I put "finger licking good" in to this sort of trasnslator lots of times i got;
"With me Leccato of the finger gave his him of the luxury"
After that i put in the actual moto and i got "In the good finger they licken"
I prefer the first one though XD

Oh by the way I put it through lost in translation

Nothing says yummy better than a thummy in your tummy...

Creative/weird. I like the concept a lot.

I just made these for a Halloween party last night. They were an absolute hit! I cooked the hot dogs a bit too long and they came out wrinkly. It added to the authenticity. Thanks for the great instructable!

Pictures! We need ghastly pictures!
rumple_T in reply to caitlinsdadNov 1, 2010. 3:35 PM
So sorry! Was so busy didn't take any pictures. Next time!

Now, how can you turn down something made with someone's loving hands?
bluelantern in reply to caitlinsdadOct 30, 2010. 10:06 PM
haha,good one.

20 of Lizzie Borden's whacks with a hatchet...
joe57005 in reply to caitlinsdadOct 27, 2008. 4:37 PM
Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks, And when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty one! don't you just LOVE those morbid limericks the little kiddies sing as they play?

Ring around the rosies, pocketful of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down may have been written about getting the plague and its detriment. yeeesh.
joe57005 in reply to caitlinsdadOct 28, 2008. 5:00 PM
Actually, it was. "ring around the rosies, pocket full of posies" refers to the initial symptoms: ring shaped irritation around a bright red spot. "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down" refers to the advanced symptoms: previously irritated areas die, decay and turn black, leading to limbs falling off and eventually death.
Drakeler in reply to joe57005Oct 16, 2009. 8:04 AM
I thought ashes was the medievel sound effect for sneezing. At least, that's what my 8th grade geography teacher said.
bpfh in reply to DrakelerAug 22, 2010. 2:31 AM
The version I learnt was "atishoo, atishoo, we all fall down"... English (I don't know about American ;-) ) for a sneezing sound...

Isn't History Great?

I don't know whether to throw up or have seconds...
firebreathers says: Dec 17, 2009. 11:51 AM
This looks like great fun. It will be another great food idea for our Halloween Party. I am going to try string cheese instead of french fries(will ooze much better), and potato chips (for the nails). thanks for a great idea!
RavingMadStudios says: Nov 10, 2009. 1:51 PM
Lovin' this a lot, although I think I might go with a potato chip for the nail instead of a Freedom Fry. Either way, this is deliciously nasty.
