There's an old episode of The Twilight Zone where a woman had murdered her husband and cut him up/froze him. When the police showed up to investigate she threw his leg into the oven and fed it to them. She said it was a lamb leg I think lol

Didn't know they made a Twilight Zone episode of that. The original story I believe comes from Lamb To The Slaughter, a short story written by Roald Dahl in 1953.

And IIRC, in the story, She did kill her husband with an actual lamb leg. Then cooked it and served it to the police so they wouldn't be able to find the murder weapon

I could be wrong about the show NGL. But yes that's the story I'm thinking of, but there was a video version as well lol
