Meatz n Cakez

I think many aspects of the main meal segway beautifully into dessert.
I'm just not sure a dessert needs to resemble dinner. Case in point:

Dylan Prime’s Chocolate “Porterhouse” for Two: Red Velvet “N.Y. Strip,” Frozen Mousse “Filet,” and White Chocolate Bone, $24.00.

Then when you cut inside:
Ummmmmm....
Um.

How 'bout a baked potato to go with it?

Cowgirl’s Original Ice Cream Baked Potato, $6.95 (image courtesy of The Village Voice).
A hunk of vanilla ice cream is shaped like a potato and then rolled in cocoa powder to replicate the tarnished, brown skin of a baked potato. This sweet spud is split open with whipped cream mimicking the overflowing insides. Chopped pecans are dyed green to give the appearance of a scallion garnish, and yellow slices of fondant “butter” complete the copycat confection.

Can always rely on the Feedbag to keep me informed of anything and everything to do with meat. Especially when it's not!
