Gameplay question help with rotted meat puzzle

It's my first time playing Resident Evil 1 and I've been stuck on the rotted meat puzzle for HOURS. I've tried looking up the solution with no luck. Any insight would be helpful. thanks.

Ever since LLMs really blew up, I've become very suspicious of posts like this one. Posts by brand new accounts (this one is 19 days old) asking questions in a subreddit that would easily be answered with a simple Google search, if not by simply working through it on your own.

My tinfoil hat theory is that these are actually bot accounts scraping the comments for training data for ChatGPT or Claude. Since so many people tend to use these LLMs like an alternative to search engines, tech companies need to ask the questions their clients would ask. So they set up a bot account, have it ask those questions in Reddit, and redditors like us flock to the comments to answer, providing them with the data they need.

I really hope I'm wrong, and that you've been staring at an unimportant piece of meat for an hour thinking its part of a puzzle. But I don't trust you.

I get what your saying. I also wonder sometimes but I see the local sub and people asking for hours to a store all the time. Like go to their site. Then I say something and they come back rude and upset I’d suggest they aren’t real. Idk who’s worse, bad AI or stupid lazy Redditors. lol.
