You tell me.

To help educate your guess, please know that I came across this ... thing ... while in the ordinary course of my work as a surgeon in a well-known hospital here in Manhattan.

Hmm... Was your entry about the bris a hint?

It looks like a piece of barbeque roasted duck/chicken/you name the poultry.... ala chinatown (your NYC or my Vancouver)

A glazed strawberry Danish.

Carmelized onions, tomato sauce, vegan "cheeze": I'd say it was a lasagne of sorts.

For some reason, I want four suctions cups for use in hanging from the rear window of a Geo Metro hatchback.

Cartilidge from an elbow joint?

It's the one last tooth in the festering gums of the most recent homeless man to petition for your ham* in marriage.

(* Yes, he only wants you for your pork products. If he only knew you were tofu wrapped around a chewy molasses center, he'd take his pustulent dentifrice elsewhere.)

toad's legs are like frog's legs, no?

Extreme close-up of an oyster on the half shell? Or maybe peach cobbler?

Offered by: LM on February 7, 2006 2:18 PM

I think I saw that on WebMD.com.

Eww to all. Still, all wrong. And all making me vomit.

Tess, I agree about MG. I miss him like mad.

Offered by: Jodi on February 6, 2006 8:57 PM

P.S. - I just got the biggest grin on my face when I realized that the Mad Genius would have had something incredibly hilarious to contribute on this post!

Offered by: Tess on February 6, 2006 8:49 PM

Clearly, it is a bedsore...

Have that looked at before it starts to smell.

Offered by: Tess on February 6, 2006 8:47 PM

It's a little plastic afterbirth for those disturbing baby dolls you showed us so, so long ago!

omg, gross... Please tell me it is not bacon because I have this horrible feeling it is bacon. gag.

Why do i have the urge to say apricot flan?

Is it a cross-section of George W. Bush's head? Is that small brown thing, his brain?

Offered by: Max on February 5, 2006 10:17 PM

Something infected. Or pizza.

Offered by: Jaeme on February 5, 2006 7:04 PM

Ohhh, what a delightful melange of delicious and disgusting wrong guesses!

Offered by: Jodi on February 5, 2006 3:30 PM

Shiny could mean mucous or shiny could mean a sugary glaze. Hmmm...either the infected inner ear of a screaming child or a strawberry/cherry kolache?

Puppies in a basket on a warm spring day ... puppies in a basket on a warm spring day ... puppies in a basket on a warm spring day ...

I see some gross stuff in the course of my work, but that is disgusting, even to me. Congrats. I just hope it isn't a picture of an itchy crotch or something ...

Who knew Georgia O'Keeffe could cook?

Offered by: tim on February 4, 2006 10:41 PM

Only the fact that I DON'T know what it is keeps me from completely freaking out, since I just clicked on your blog as I sat down to EAT.

Offered by: jg on February 4, 2006 8:11 PM

It's a venereal vaginal fruit blintz... obviously.

Offered by: William K. Scurry Jr. on February 4, 2006 3:50 PM

I know! A decaying tooth set in the bloody gums of a fresh corpse. That, or cherries jubilee, heavy on the jubilee.

Offered by: Lolly on February 4, 2006 2:19 PM

Now don't think me a genius here, but knowing you, I know it is food. I think it is definitely a very close-up shot of a blintz with a bit of strawberry below. How many pixels does your camera have anyway? 42??? Very nice and very gross. Kudos to you.

It is clearly a photo from StuffOnMyCat.com gone terribly, terribly wrong.
