Would You Eat Human Flesh?

Assuming it were legal and that the person you’re eating donated their body while of sound mind, of course.

I think I would at least try a little nibble. I’m faintly curious and have been since reading one too many books about the occult as a teen. I had a special interest in vampires and werewolves and cannibalism always figured heavily into the latter.

No, I would still find the idea too gross, and, besides, I bet it’s nothing special.

I think I might, just to try it. I really like meat!

Depends on the condiments. What are you offering?

Yeah, I’d give it a try.

On edit, I don’t know what I’d do if it turned out to be the best meat I’ve ever?

I don’t generally like the taste of carnivores but if you could round up a juicy vegetarian, count me in!

What do you mean “would you?”

:wink:

If it gave me super strength like in Ravenous.

Flesh: No.

Brains: Yeeeeeees.

They call it “Long Pig” for a reason. It tastes like pork, certainly not like chicken. The difference between long pig and real pig is that long pigs eat too much weird crap plus the skewer tends to puncture the anus and intestines on the spit contaminating the meat. Long pig is worth a try but don’t try winning any barbecue contests with it. Standard pork recipes will work but the meat is expensive and hard to come by unless you raise it yourself.

Sure. I like to eat adventurously.

you mean it tastes like…dare I say it…

BACON!

I don’t think I’d be able to eat human flesh because I’d have too many images running through my head of things I’ve seen human flesh do (seriously, Art Garfunkel naked?) and I’d lose my appetite.

Hmmm, the Dopers seem to be taking your modest proposal seriously.

As am I. I’d give it a shot, under your controlled, reasonable, and legal circumstances.

Only if I were sure to starve otherwise.

Would there be bacon salt?

IIRC, wasn’t there a tribe in Papua New Guinea who practiced cannibalism as a funeral rite (eating pieces of someone already dead, at least), and ended up infecting themselves with some serious disease, “kuru”, I think the name of it is. Sort of a human version of Mad Cow.

Yeah, you cook it and cook it and cook it, but it still tastes like prions.

If it were safe, I’d like to try. Then again, I said the same thing about dog meat yet never could bring myself to actually ingest any while I was in Korea. I think the psychological hurdle might be a bit too high.

Anyone seen Mangetout?
