Oh, so it is like a great big McRib, but without the sauce?

I am surprised by this. Costco typically carries excellent meat. I buy one of their choice rib roasts when I want to go all out and age one even thought I have an excellent butcher near by.

I can't believe nobody has thought to shape this stuff into fake ribs.

So it's like a pork meatloaf? Maybe it should be wrapped in bacon before cooking.

That'll do, Costco. That'll do.

Best part of the article was the fact that they captioned the accompanying image

I don't know the story behind it. I remember seeing it on Cheezburger before they went overboard with sites and pages and basically being really annoying about existing and had it saved to my old hard drive at my old job. When I saw the "baby pigs are cute" post it immediately sprung to mind. I GIS'ed it and found the first one and that one and decided that Fark needed to have a cuteness bomb go off in this mutha.

Actually, I wonder about that, a process for manufacturing a food product could be patented, but could an actual food be patented?

It looks like something that would be sold on the fark website. Farkpig. We don't have costco here. Is this a real product? We only have SPAM in MN. It looks gross (and I dont eat spam either)

Hmmm, $9 a pound is kind of high, but it is deboned, thats pretty labor intensive for a whole animal. Something to think about deep frying for thanksgiving next year...

Reminds me of the first Easter dinner I cooked - I wanted to cook up a roasted leg of lamb, but I was the only one in the house that actually liked lamb. I remembered the episode of "M*A*S*H" where Radar had send "Private Charles Lamb" back to his parents' farm and had what I thought was a grand idea.

I made up a meat loaf mixture of beef, pork and lamb. I shaped it into a lamb and at the 3/4 done point in cooking, removed it from the oven. I studded it with cauliflower pieces attached to toothpicks and painted on a face with BBQ sauce. When it came out of the oven, I added "eyes" made from hard boiled egg whites and olives. I put it on the platter, already garnished with lettuce leaves and brought it to the dining table.

My sister burst into tears, my mother grabbed the phone book to see what restaurants were open and both my brothers excused themselves while stifling laughter. My dad took one look at it, said "Honey, you're as twisted as your grandmother" and started removing the roasted cauliflower.

My mother refused to ever allow me to cook a holiday menu of my own design ever again.

Honestly, I'd probably cook and serve one of those up. I've always been of the opinion the cuter the critter, the tastier it is.

Costco seems to me like a shill for the factory farming industry. The non-meat products there are paltry at best - nearly every type of prepared frozen food has some type of meat in it - and there is nary a mention of organic farmed meat (nothing obvious, anyway - the only looking the meat aisles get from me is high speed and at a distance.) Their re-branded Silk soymilk, on the other hand, is great and not too much more than real milk if you buy it by the 12-quart box.

Pre-cooked and then either frozen or refrigerated? Yuck. What a waste of good meat.
