Life imitates art. Back in the late '70s, there was a slasher movie whose title I forget, but the tagline was, “There’s all kinds of critters in Farmer Vincent’s fritters.”

The wacko in the movie did the same thing…

**Motel Hell** (1980, actually) with Rory Calhoun as Vincent Smith. He buried his victims up to the neck and force-fed them until they were suitable for “harvesting.” And the actual tagline was “It takes all kinds of critters…to make Farmer Vincent’s fritters.”

You know, I was originally going to entitle this thread: “Solyent Pork is made of people!” Or “People: it’s what’s for dinner” But I thought that might be kind of tacky.

Unless my memory fails me, it was _Consuming Passions_, starring Jonathan Pryce, based on a play by Palin & Jones. Don’t remember the director.

In one of Lawrence Block’s Matt Scudder novels (I recommend them highly anyway), he and a friend disposed of a body that way. Scudder gave up eating pork.
