Here’s the situation: you’re flying over the snowy Alaskan mountains in a twin seater plane, your loved on at the control stick. Your plane goes down, and you survive, but your partner is killed. Dragging yourself to a nearby hunting cabin, you find a shelter with firewood and a potbelly stove, blankets, kitchenwares, and a cupboardful of condiments, herbs, spices and garnishes. While you’re trapped for the time being, you realize that if you survive until the summer, the owner of the cabin will probably return for bear season and rescue you. However, there’s no food around and you’re inept at setting traps for squirrels: you’ll have to eat your loved one to survive until then. Assuming you choose to live, do you prepare your loved one in a tasty dish, or eat them raw? * * * Never attribute to an -ism anything more easily exlained by common, human stupidity. ---

True story: the famous “Donner Party” was actually led by two families, the Reeds and the Donners (check the Ric Burns documentary). So it was really the “Donner Reed Party.” Not only did they eat each other, but they cleaned up afterward and did their homework before going to bed. ---

I’m thinking long term. Eyeballs for fishing lures, bones for hooks and cooking utensils. Maybe I’ll cook up a little to lure in the birds, bears, wolves and foxes. She will work a lot better for bait than she would for eating. ---

Chow down, and maybe they will name a restauraunt after you, a la [The Alferd Packer Grill](http://umc.colorado.edu/food/grill_pages/) at the University of Colorado at Boulder, named after a Colorado prospector who ate five of his fellow gold seekers during the harsh winter of 1874. * * * TT “Believe those who seek the truth.

Do you really want the Straight Dope, Coldfire? Yer not kiddin’ me now. Check _History of the Donner Party_ by G.R.Stewart for starters. When you drive out of Reno toward Sacramento you will pass Donner Lake and Donner Pass. The Donner Party was 87 people heading for California in 1846. An early snow caught them deep in the passes of the Sierra Nevada and trapped them. Long story short…only about half of the Donner Party ever got the the Sacramento Valley. The others were delicious. ---
