Would you try human flesh?
 

This question popped into my head yesterday and I've been asking people, so I figured I'd put it up here:

Let's say you were in a foreign country where the local culture enjoyed dining on human flesh. The people aren't killed for their flesh. After people die, the culture prefers to eat their dead as opposed to burying them....they see that as wasteful. So now that you've decided to visit this tropical paradise (or wherever), would you try human flesh while you were there?

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Depends on what they die from.:r

I've heard of it used as a way to honour someone and keep them a part of you.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

So, how much crack have you been smoking today :r

I vote no way :r

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Wow... this forum just took a turn for the odd. :D

But in all seriousness, it would depend on what they died from and the cooking method.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Is the dead person from a small village or a large village? I have heard that it makes a difference.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

dude no...lol

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

If it was a survival situation and someone in my party died and I had the means to cook them in order to live. Yes.

If I was out would I order a double quarter pounder with human meat, hold the mustard. No.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Hopefully B&M, I hear the internet guys only get the cheaper cuts.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

I am sorry, but you actually thought this would make a good poll????

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

YUMMY!!!! My favorite treat!! Medium rare with some grilled onions. It's whats for dinner! Human,The other red meat!



I think I would if I had to survive in a post apocalyptic setting.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Assuming that it was in good form, I think I would. But I will try anything once. :hm

Could you prove it? Or taste the difference 100% of the time? ;)

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Nope...

You are a little twisted, I do believe. :ss

Re: Would you try human flesh?

Re: Would you try human flesh?

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Legend?:ss

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Sorry.... I just can't help it:r:r:r

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Well, if you do, stay away from the brains. Cannibal cultures develop a lot of diseases from eating brains--perhaps this is why humans have a natural aversion to eating their own?

I doubt I'd be able to eat anyone close to me, even in a survival situation. If it was just some random ock who happened to be with us when we got snowed in, sure, I doubt I'd have much hesitation there.

Two good cannibal movies: Alive, Ravenous. There's also another film about the rugby players called Stranded: I've Come From a Plane That Crashed in the Mountains. That's more of a documentary I believe.

I can't imagine an ancient elder would taste all that good though, probably very sinewy.

I take hypotheticals pretty seriously...anyone remember my mad rich guy with a tiger question? :)

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Andy, Alive was based upon the book of the same name about the rugby players who crashed in the Andes Mountains. Stranded was a later movie about the same thing andwas somewhat of a ripoff of Alive. There were a couple more that I can't think of. I intentionally selected a meat donor who may not have a brain.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Where do you think jerky comes from? :r

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Tender 'em up with some nice, slow cooking ;)

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Or a good meat tenderizing mallet.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

I'm actually amazed more of you would not eat someone in a survival situation.

Hell, survival is the highest law in my book.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

That wasnt the question though D... the question was if we were visiting somewhere where it was part of thier culture to eat thier dead.

If im stuck on a downed plane in the middle of the Andes, then pass the plate :tu

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

I have a whole list of things that ours and other cultures eat routinely that I would not touch - this just makes the list longer -

So umm - no.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

If it involves me staying alive then reluctantly I'd probably eat. If it was about another countrys culture ( where might this be in case I mistakenly travel there ) I'd say I would not partake of eating of the dead. Conversely if she were to be a Playboy Bunny and were very much alive and I,,,,,nevermind, this just got weird.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Are there any dipping sauces?

Nope. Final answer.

Re: Would you try human flesh?

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Congratulations on having the most morbid poll on CA to date.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

I can think of something that would make this look like a poll about your favorite childhood cartoon character. :r

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

Lion-O.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

My Russian teacher in college grew up during WW2, and said she remembered people trying to sell "meat" that was widely suspected to be human flesh.

Re: Would you try human flesh?
 

My butt itches real hard, and the first person who makes a joke about "eating" it gets a 2 week ban. ;)
