Is zombie meat tasty?

If you dry the meat in strips, are they jerky?

[outlierrn]

Well, they were hardly smooth before.

At least we’re not eating zombi SDMB threads.

What would societies reaction be? Study them? Round them all up and burn them? Return each individual zombie to their families? Find some way to make use of them?

I imagine even more people would opt for cremation over burial.

I’m just looking some opinions on something that randomly popped into my head the other day.

What would happen if the dead starting rising from the grave but it turned out that instead of craving brains, that they are just these passive zombies that don’t chase anybody, don’t hurt anybody, don’t do anything but wander around aimlessly.

This was more or less the premise of the French drama series Les Revenants.
