A meat ring is a type of comestible that very rarely appears in NetHack.
Contents
Generation
Meat rings are are only created by zapping a spell of stone to flesh at a ring with a mineral or gemstone randomized appearance.
Description
Meat rings give 5 nutrition when eaten and can be worn like normal rings, but have no effect (not even ring hunger); you can still drop a meat ring onto a sink similar to normal rings, though this also has no effect beyond giving a specific message. Like tripe rations, meat rings are considered a treat for carnivorous pets.
Strategy
Like meat sticks, most meat rings are accidental creations from an accidental stone to flesh zap at yourself, or a deliberate one used to cure stoning. A meat ring provides very little nutrition, and are best used as lightweight treats to feed any meat-eating pets or else tame carnivorous domestic animals - they can also be used as polyfodder to try and turn into lightweight food such as lembas wafers.
If you cannot uncurse a cursed mineral or gemstone ring any other way, a viable method is to drop all other mineral and gemstone items and then cast stone to flesh on yourself - the cursed ring can then be eaten off your finger, with the only remaining concern being adverse effects of rotten food.
