Want a Walking Dead Human Flesh Burger? Head to London



The Walking Dead has a lot to answer for. But if you want a good recipe ...

If you're a Walking Dead [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/135928-The-Walking-Dead-Season-Five-Teaser-Trailer-Crawls-Out] fan as well as an aficionado of haute cuisine, best head over to London for the finest human flesh burgers in town, available one day only. It gets better! They're absolutely free. Not just free range, mark you, but free of charge. Yummy!

It's all part of The Walking Dead Season 5's marketing. Followers of the Twitter feed terminustavern will be told, on September 30th, where the feast will be held. The chef hints it will be in East London, but won't say any more than that. Once that Tweet goes up, it's first come, first served. Toppings have not been mentioned. Dibs on the mayo.

The burger is the creation of creative London Mess [http://misscakehead.wordpress.com/]. The Mess website boasts that the chef only works with "the freshest ingredients." That's good to know.

Now, let's suppose that you want to make one of these fine burgers in your own residence. No problem! The recipe, as handed down to us by the Mess' Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/ldnmess/timeline], is as follows:

400g pork mince
400g veal mince
200g bone marrow (minced)

Salt and pepper to taste, the less seasoning you use the more it tastes like human flesh!!!

Mix together the pork, veal and bone marrow in a large bowl.

Firmly grind together the meat until evenly mixed.

Add salt and pepper to taste, fry a little of the meat in a pan to taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.

Shape the burgers using a 90mm cutter - if you don't have one then shape by hand. You should use around 150g of the mixture per patty.

Cook the burgers in a frying pan on a medium hot temperature, frequently turning the meat often until you reach your desired color.

Finish off in the oven at 180 for 6 minutes, or more if you like your human flesh well done.

OK, hands up all of you who thought there was actually going to be human flesh in the recipe? You silly, silly muffin. This is a publicity stunt for a TV show, not No Reservations: Cannibal Edition. That said, I'm sure Anthony Bourdain's up for it.

Incidentally, Mess is London-based, so that 180 is probably Celsius; call it 350F for those of you in the States. Bon appetit!

... Is it wrong of me that i sort of hoped this was actual human, body donated as a marketing stunt?

I'm concerned about how they appear to know what human flesh tastes like... Did their chef have comparison pieces to 'taste-test' against when designing the recipe?!

I guess not everyone notices the hilarity of this... zombies can be interpreted as people going around buying shiny shit and doing what people tell them to do and... now there is a 'zombie burger', as in you are a zombie if you eat one...

Maybe they don't and they just copied the recipe from New Vegas. It's all just "Sweet Veal", you know ;)

It's possible that they looked at the chemical composition of human flesh and attempted to emulate it by mixing various other meats together?

But probably not. It's not likely that someone is gonna stand up at the counter and demand their money back "Because it doesn't taste like human flesh".

EDIT: Quoted the wrong person.

Where am I supposed to get bone marrow if I want to make it at home in the states? and frying pan/oven? Sacrilege! No burger should be cooked in a frying pan.

Try your local butchers.

Assuming you have those in the States...
