Artist @cucumberskinlinquine has a penchant for making some photo realistic food art that bends our normal perception into a pretzel. But his latest “raw chicken” cake looks too damn real that I’m afraid to catch salmonella from it.

“Sometimes my genius is almost frightening,” the artist boasts in the video. Which may be true. But you know what else is frightening? The sight of that cake and its eerie resemblance to a completely raw drumstick.

Of course a large part of me also wants to grab that drumstick and chomp into it with a stout middle finger stuck up at any and all food-borne illnesses.
