Hang your head in shame, America. The land of the Dunkin' Donuts meat munchkin, the bacon beer, the edible bacon candle, the Double Down, the Luther Burger, and the KFC & Krispy Kreme Fried Chicken Luther Double Down Sandwich has been shockingly pwned by a bunch of carnivorous Canadians. In the video below, the gang from Epic Meal Time create their truly revolting yet simultaneously awe-inspiring Slaughterhouse: "a gingerbread house minus the ginger, replaced with slaughtered animals." Do you have a crazy friend who thinks it's wrong to eat meat? This appetizing video will turn them right around.

Going Out & Giving Thanks
In a few days we'll all be stuffing our faces with turkey, pies and other foods that will make us fall asleep (mmm...tryptophan). Still not ready for the big feast? Check out this last minute guide to ordering in on the big day. And for the veggies amongst us it's never hard to find a Tofurky at the last minute! Of course, there are always reasons not to celebrate.

Dreaming of Sugarplums, Gummy Bears, and Frosting
What is better than house–shaped gingerbread, frosting, gumdrops, candy, icing, M & M's, and more candy to celebrate Christmas? Wonderfully decorated by our friend Peyton, this gingerbread house shows that whimsy is all the rage in edible edifices. In fact, Gothamist thinks that more actual buildlings should incorporate gingerbread men to their roofs or gables.
