The other white meat

[Kebert_Xela]

Are there any accurate accounts of what human flesh tastes like? Not that I have any interest in finding out for myself, but surely someone has asked a cannibal like Jeffrey Dahmer that question.

Pork is the closest taste match, I believe. There has been lots of anthropological study- google “taste of human flesh” and I’m sure you’ll get a few hits…

In this column Cecil disproves the notion that human flesh tastes like spam.

Said of a documentary Keep The River On Your Right:

The Shapiros have crafted a docu work that utilizes modern footage (shot terrifically by Jonathan Kobel), archival file film recordings, excerpts from [Tobias Schneebaum’s] files, clips from the feature film “Trader Horn” and the anthropologist’s interview on The Mike Douglas Show from 1969. The Douglas show, in particular, is most revealing as Tobias tells the emcee and his guests that he did, in fact, eat human flesh when living in Peru. The reaction, universally, is one of revulsion by the host and his panel, with the almost instantaneous follow-up question, “what did it taste like?” showing our morbid curiosity about such things. (“It tastes like pork” according to Tobias. )

I saw that Mike Douglas show when I was a kid.
