The bone looks awesome. The meat, not so much.

Roasting a huge wad of ground beef is a horrible idea, even covered in bacon. A meatloaf recipe would taste better (also covered in bacon, of course). But you'd have to find a recipe that isn't too soft, so it can hold its own weight against the bone.

Better, maybe, to get a whole beef tenderloin and cut a slit through the middle to insert the bone. That may or may not be tender enough to actually chomp on, though.

Seriously you never had a Lamb Shank? Staple of English cuisine.

That meat doesn't look good at all. It looks like something that if sold in America would have to be labelled as meat food product.

At first glance, I thought the "meat" in that picture was actually bread.

I'd be more impressed if somebody made a cake shaped like the iconic meat bone.

That ground beef looks raw and unsafe to eat.

Remove the bacon part, and I'll bite.

Same, I thought it was like a croissant type thing made in a meat shape. I was gonna say, that's pretty cool, but it was just weird looking meat...

I'd say poking a hole through a beef tenderloin or eye of round and sticking this through it would be the ideal method. A meatloaf would take some skill to cook since the bone would either weigh down the bottom or if you tried suspending it to take the weight off risk sagging. The one in the picture looks like it was tied to prevent that, but that also doesn't look like ground beef.

I was curious to see what the Amazon Japan price is since they're export friendly, but it's sold out.

Lamb isn't really a staple in America, most people here haven't eaten it before. Just noticed my local supermarkets sell them for roughly $10 to $15 for two.

It's medium-rare, perfectly safe and ideal for a lot of cuts of meat.

You're just buying the bone, not the meat. Wink

It's not just in Japanese anime as this type of meat is also sometimes found in Western animation.

I know this is novelty and all, but wow, it looks terrible and not appetizing whatsoever.

Also, really expensive for something to buy just for a laugh? (I mean, I can't see it being used more than once even as a novelty item, who would go through the pain of trying to sculpt ground meat around a bone more than once?*) Sure, I live in one of the less fortunate places of the so-called developed(?) world, and meat is getting prohibitively expensive where over here, but even so that bone alone costs about 3-4 times as much as an actual bone-in beef shank or something like that, shipping not even included.

The bone itself is cool, though.

*Actually, checking the official website you're not supposed to use ground meat at all, I wonder where the article got that from? It's plain tenderized meat that you wrap around the bone. (Still a pain.)

Maybe it was me, but I thought that was gyro meat in the picture.

Same here. I suspect many haven't seen gyros on the hoof. I doubt I would have made the connection if I'd never stood in line for a sandwich from a shawarma truck.

That's because it is, kind of. I'm not sure why the article says it's ground meat, the official site doesn't say ground meat, in fact it shows the preparation suggestion and it's just plain slices of meat.
