# Female Cranial Fillets Disturbing Meat Cuts Look as if They're Human Flesh By Howard Wu | Published 2009-11-10 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/female-cranial-fillet References: [bitsandpieces.us](http://bitsandpieces.us/2009/10/20/meat-market-2/) I’m sure we’ve all drawn happy faces on our pancakes or cookies with syrup or icing, but this [butcher shop product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatcrafters) just isn’t the same. Female cranial fillets are rather disturbing, since it’s tough to find the appeal of chewing a somewhat realistic [cut of a human face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations)! Assuming the likeness is fabricated on [regular animal meat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carnal-umami-cut-beef-jerky), it’s even more disturbing that the source of meat does not appear on the website. **Implications** - Now, I don't know how the butcher feels about selling these products (I'm going to assume it's 'good'), but I think that the police would be wise to keep tabs on the repeat purchasers of this stuff. I never look at a woman's face and go 'I wonder what it would be like to eat that.' Then again, different strokes for different strokes. Who am I to judge? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Publicity Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/publicitystunts) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cannibalistic Food Products:** The disturbing practice of creating meat cuts that look like human flesh has emerged and may appeal to consumers looking for novel and provocative food experiences. - **Controversial Food Items:** Butcher shops creating controversial products, such as the female cranial fillet, may provoke debates surrounding the ethics of food production and consumption, leading to disrupted consumption patterns. - **Novelty Food Products:** Meat cuts that look like human flesh offer a unique selling point for novelty food products that may appeal to certain consumer groups, or those looking to shock their dining guests. ### Where This Applies - **Food Manufacturing:** Food manufacturers that seek to disrupt the meat industry may consider producing provocative novelty items, such as the female cranial fillet, where a market exists for unique and experimental food products. - **Meat Processing:** Butchers and meat processors that experiment with food product creation, such as producing meat cuts that resemble human flesh, may be able to target specific consumer groups with daring and striking products. - **Ethical Food Production:** The creation of meat cuts that resemble human flesh may raise ethical concerns within the food industry, leading to the development of more ethical food production systems that prioritize the wellbeing of animals, the environment, and consumers alike. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Plant-Based Halloween Steakhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-cannibal-steakhouse.md) - [Nose-To-Tail Italian Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manteca.md) - [Premium Hybrid Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carnea.md) - [Caramelized Organ Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zotter-chocolates-brains-eggs.md) - [Hybrid Meat Vegetable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leyu-li.md) - [Whole-Cut Vegan Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-whole-cuts.md) - [Ready-To-Cook Bacon Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildflour-bakery.md)
