Free Food Travel: Meaty Mystery in Mass
Given soaring food prices, you'd think most Americans would be holding on to every scrap of meat they can find nowadays. But that's not the case in Framingham, Massachusetts, where a mysterious meat Santa has been leaving giant pieces of high-quality raw meat just lying around in the public park.
The mystery began in early October, when dog walkers began finding slabs of raw meat, seemingly carefully arranged at the base of a large evergreen.
Chris Walsh, an architect who works in an office near the green, spotted a five-pound shoulder cut several weeks ago. The following week, he saw a "less appetizing" cut of gristly scrap meat, he said. Then it was a slice of liver and a "very good-looking" roast.
Town residents don't know if this is a recession-era Santa Claus coming early, someone setting out to poison dogs or just a local butcher with a few screws loose. Whatever the motive, local cops have made the meaty mystery a high priority:
"It's our mission to get to the bottom of why these pieces of meat are being left," said Lieutenant Paul Shastany of the Framingham Police Department. "Why? Who? And what is it? What kind of meat?"
