How would we taste like?

[Eddo36]

Well, nobody here probably ate another person before. But I have been around buddhist monks who burned incence on their arm as part of their customs. It would burn the flesh and make small lumps, making smoke, and it would smell almost exactly the same as smoking hamburgers on a barbeque grill. I think we would taste more like beef than poultry/fish since our flesh structure is more related to those bigger lifestocks. But what I am unsure of is whether we would taste more like beef or mutton?

Never had mutton, but that's what I'm leaning towards. Because human definitely doesn't taste like beef. Though I have yet to try it properly seasoned... mmm, lemon pepper.

 

Then again, most of what I've eaten are those lazy gamer nerds. They don't get nearly enough exercise. So, maybe it's kind of like veal?

I've heard we taste like pork. Apparently human tissue and pig tissue are very similar genetically.

With the exception of the fatty areas we are like horsemeat though, tough and chewy. The Italian soccer team stranded after a plane wreck could only eat the fatty tissues from the buttock and belly, and they were starving.

 

And you would'nt want to anyway as cannibalism has been linked with various brain diseases.

You're really failing this "self-deprecation" thing.

 

You are making fun of yourself, aren't you?

Well, I know it's been slow lately and we're all a little bored, but I'm not seeing how this topic will go anywhere constructive.
