If there is one thing I am always saying, it’s that we need more candy that looks like meat. We had Gummi Bacon not too long ago, which was a good start, and now Archie McPhee brings us Gummi (or Gummy) T-bone Steaks. Just like the Gummi Bacon, the Gummi T-Bone is also strawberry flavored. Each delicious slab of strawberry flavored gummy meat is 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ and weighs an impressive 85 grams (about 3 ounces)!
Notice the great attention to detail in the packaging - the styrofoam meat package with the sticker on the front just like you bought it at the local grocer’s. You could make a whole meal out of this - pair it with a nice gummi lobster and wash it down with some wine jellybeans. I wonder …. if you’re a vegetarian/vegan, is it against the rules to eat a Gummi T-Bone Steak? :)
I might have to get one of these for my roommate. She loves anything meat related but claims not to like candy. So maybe she’d like meat shaped candy.
RESPONSE: How could you not like gummi steak? :)

“I wonder …. if you’re a vegetarian/vegan, is it against the rules to eat a Gummi T-Bone Steak?” - yeah, I’m guessing that there’s gelatin in there, perhaps even made from a real T-bone.
RESPONSE: That was a joke, Cybele! :)

Presumably the gummi candy is made with geltain in which case a strict vegetarian wouldn’t eat it because it comes from an animal.
RESPONSE: as I said in the above comment “it was a joke”
