Oh man, talk about gristle!
mmm…neanderthals…
I think willthekittensurvive? is seriously onto something. Don’t waste your time eating people in the past who will no doubt be incredibly variable in flavor. Instead, tweak your time machine a little and go into the future. Resolve now to adopt a baby and raise it to perfection. Maybe chain it up and feed it only milk like you would with veal. Or force feed it like a foie gras duck or goose. Or massage it and feed it beer and sake along with a healthy diet of grain and, bam, Kobe kid! You are then guaranteed to have a delicious meal.
Sure, you could just wait a few years until you would have the kid to eat, but, dammit, you have a time machine and you’re hungry now.
The only real problem with this is that you actually have to raise the child after you’ve eaten it. And, within those few years, you cannot have a change of heart and you cannot be otherwise stopped or else the entire space-time continuum will collapse.
The odds are overwhelming that I will eat the ancestor of someone who would otherwise turn out to be a factory drone or gas pump jockey. Or I could luck out and pick an ancestor of Hitler or Stalin or Mao. So there is a chance to do good.
Besides, I just can’t resist. Kids are sooo fall-off-the-space-time-continuum tender and tasty!
The Earl of Sandwich?
Dame Nellie Melba?
Sylvester Graham?
I’m not quite that hungry, maybe just a hobbit?
Enjoy,
Steven
:smack: Nearly forgot that 1982 classic “Eating Raoul,” a quirky comedy starring Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov. Haven’t seen it in ages, but I love the spanish version of Devil With the Blue Dress On from the soundtrack.
And, lest we forget what happens to cannibals, remember the old greek legend of Tantalus.:eek:
Thanks for the heads up. That might also be a problem with tenement kids of the last century, with the whole chewing on the lead paint chips thing.
Just stick with finger food then.
