Based on the non-human meat people like to eat, I’d have to say kids. Babies or chubby kids especially. Toddlers and pre-teens are often pretty lean - you’d have to like meat on the bone. One time this topic came up years ago when my 7-or-so year-old daughter was going through a pescetarian phase (which I am too, but she’s mostly a meat-eater) and I had a horrible dream about being trapped on a mountain with a bunch of people determined to eat my kid. 😃 ---

A lean athlete would be all rangy and bony. Probably taste kinda gamey. Now, chubby 2-year-old foie gras? \*That’s \*delicious. ---

Going by pig as an equivalent to human [there is a reason we are called long pig …] children prepuberty, preferably a bit on the lazy plump side. I would also surmise eunich male, and handicapped adult that is elderly as stewing long pig. A good amount of fat and not a lot of exercise, and preferably little in the way of adult sex hormone action. ---

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.

Baby _everything_ tastes better! Baby salad greens, baby corn in Asian takeout, baby animals of every kind… Looks like I’m in good company - poll shows almost 50% _“Kids”_ as of this posting. The SDMB doesn’t have an age limit to join, right? Wouldn’t want to scare away [del]dinner[/del] the younger set from participating… ---

Actually, most of the animals we eat are killed very young - a few months. I’m glad people here seem to know this. ---

Killing someone in order to eat them is, as would chopping off a piece of somebody.

Nope, we now know who is going to be the tastiest to eat. Or at least **Procrustus** seems to think it’s them. No where’s the knife and fork smiley.
