I was at a friends wedding recently and the catering was superb, instead of the usual sit down affair there was an incredible barbecue (unsurprisingly most of the guests and family were from the southern hemisphere) which offered an amazingly varied menu, all of which was cooked beautifully. Meats of all description, some odd, but very tasty South African fish, the name of which I had to ask several times as it was typically Afrikaans (it was a snoek, or snook or shnoke, or shnook or something like that).
Anyway, as is often the way in a buffet scenario, the question of stacking was on the minds of everyone: "How much should I take? What is the international stacking etiquette? Is there an acceptable plate height?" All of these were running through our minds and you could see everyone subtly eyeing up the "opposition" trying to ascertain the general level of greed in the queue. "Will there be enough left for me after that fat bastard gets up there?" and so forth...
As it turned out there was a stupid amount of food and the groom was trying to give all the guests doggy bags as they left. He and his lovely bride were flying out on their honeymoon the very next day and he couldn't bare to see all the meat go to waste, and that was when it happened. The brainwave of the century. A meat suit. he could nibble all the way to Kenya and whats more I reckon that wearing a suit made of meat would have quite a cooling effect, like a personal environment suit. Have you ever felt a raw steak, lovely and cold ( I suspect this might be why they are traditionally placed on a black eye?), just imagine a whole suit made of steak, and slices of lamb. mmmmmmmmmmm.......
I reckon it would be quite the fashionable attire as well. A theory I recently had confirmed when I stumbled across this fashion students meat dress (though I think she has ruined it by sealing the meat in plastic!). http://www.jiajem.com/meatwad.html
