A meat ring is a comestible that appears in NetHack. It gives 5 nutrition when eaten.
Generation
Meat rings are only generated by casting stone to flesh at a ring that is made of mineral or gemstone material. It can be worn like a normal ring, but will not do anything.
List of mineral and gemstone rings
Rings with the following appearances can be turned into meat rings:
- agate
- black onyx
- clay
- coral
- diamond
- emerald
- granite
- jade
- moonstone
- opal
- ruby
- sapphire
- tiger eye

Strategy
Meat rings are usually accidental creations and provide very little nutrition; since they count as comestibles, they cannot be polymorphed into other rings.
A viable method for removing cursed mineral or gemstone rings when the player lacks other means of uncursing or has no need for the uncursed item(s) is to drop all other mineral and gemstone items and then cast stone to flesh on themselves. The ring(s) can then be eaten freely, though it will still have the adverse effects of Food#rotten food, so be prepared to recover from these ill effects.
Meat rings also count as treats for carnivorous pets, and can be used to raise the pet's apport – this is the best use for accidentally-made meat rings, since "junk" rings can simply be used as polyfodder.
