Edible but Gruesome, Realistic Body Parts Made of Bread

I saw these “bread artworks” if you can call it that a year ago or so. They’re made by Thai artist Kittiwat Unarrom who uses dough as his medium to sculpt gruesome renditions of hand, feet, heads, torsos and other body parts.

From looking at the photos, the results look really realistic with eyes, lips and other details constructed out of cashews, raisins and the like. A lack of hair and blood-like glazes make the work all the more creepy.  I’m not sure I could stomach actually eating one of these.

Sold at his family’s bakery in Ratchaburi, Thailand, he displays the parts wrapped like food in plastic and hung from meat hooks. Apparently, the art is in fact edible and tastes like regular bread.

Watch the video below to see Unarrom at work and some visitors’ reactions.
