I lay the cadaver on the chopping block* |
|
Placed on the cutting table inside up |
|
I've bled and beheaded this hollow carcass |
|
Band-saw splitting the body down the centre |
|
Spinal column saw dust fills the air |
|
Human carcass is quartered |
|
Into four primal cuts |
|
Shoulder, rib, loin and limbs |
|
Sliced and diced, marinated and minced |
|
Cutting against the grain of meat |
|
The excess fat is removed |
|
Connective tissue lining is peeled |
|
Thickly fleshed meat is sown into steaks |
|
Shoulder rolled and tied into roast |
|
Juicy breast meat, savored with flavour |
|
Intramuscular marbling |
|
Runs throughout tenderloin |
|
Extremities are reduced |
|
As the muscle is sliced thin |
|
Cleaver in hand, I dice into cubes |
|
Neck processed into human ground round |
|
Meat grinder oozing |
|
Human muscle sold by the pound |
