SANTIAGO, Chile "Bon appetit," said Chilean artist Marco Evaristti as he presented his friends with his newest creation: meatballs cooked with fat from his own body, extracted by liposuction.
"Ladies and gentleman, bon appetit and may god bless," said Evaristti, a glass in his hand, to his dining companions seated last Thursday night around a table in Santiago's Animal Gallery.
On the plates in front of them was a serving of agnolotti pasta and in the middle a meatball made with oil Evaristti removed from his body in a liposuction procedure last year.
"The question of whether or not to eat human flesh is more important than the result," he said, explaining the point of his creation.
"You are not a cannibal if you eat art," he added.
Evaristti produced 48 meatballs with his own fat, some of which would be canned and sold for $US4000 dollars for 10.
A veteran at shock-art, in an earlier work Evaristti invited people to kill fish by pressing the button on a blender the fish were held in.

Soylent Lard is people! People! Well, just Person!
He stole this idea from an old National Lampoon cartoon, the poseur. Comments please?
That is absolutely disgusting.

Wow, What a really intense dude. /s
You can't have your friends and eat them too..
Talk about your obscure movie references.
This is one seriesly disturbed individual!
That is truly the grossest thing I have read in some time.
Just the look on the puppet's face nearly made me spill my drink down the back of the person in front of me at the theater!
I wonder if he told his "friends" the meatballs were fried in his medical waste before or after they partook of his delightful culinary creation.
I bought a can of his meatballs but I paid him with a phony check smeared with dog feces. He may call it larceny but I call it art.
I sure hope he did, but how do you really broach the subject tastefully (no pun intended)? I mean, does one say, "I picked up a lovely siraz from Australia, and do try some of the fried spinach -- it's devine. The meatballs are about 50 % my ass fat. The pasta is perfectly al dente and ... oh do try the potatoes--doorbell! Be right back, darlings!"
Classic!
