I've heard it said that people taste like chicken (when you cannibalize them, that is), and it seems odd to me. I mean, without being told, I would've just thought that people would taste more like beef.

This thought brought to you by the super long commuting experience this morning.

I thought people were supposed to taste like pork. Isn't "long pig" a translation of some cannibal term?

I think we're sort of white-meat types.

[astrophysicat.livejournal.com]

pork, definitely pork. Or rabbit.

I'd guess pork. Since someone burning is supposed to smell a lot like bacon.

Which is just....ew.

**loves his bacon**

I'd think that the smell is more from burning fat than burning meat though, if that makes you feel better...

[podling]

The other other white meat?

Clint says Aztecs called human meat "long pig." I dunno, pig and human hearts are similar, so ...

[wintersweet.livejournal.com]

That'll teach me to comment before I read comments. Yeah, that's an Aztec term. IIRC.

Actually, supposedly they taste more like pork. It's said that human meat was called long pig.

And I know someone probably beat me to it, but you know I had to reply.

That's what I've always heard. Not that I'm truly an expert, mind you.

Weirdos, the lot of you.

Jenny! If you're not an expert on cannibals, who is???

I always thought it was a South Seas term, having read far too many sensational Victorian ripping yarns :)

i also heard that vegetarians taste better. just like veggie fed animals. and that we're "stringy". now, i don't really eat mammals myself, but stringy doesn't sound appetizing.

I think I'd have to say that German guy. I mean, I've never actually *eaten* anyone!

Wow, that must've been one long commute. It would take a long time for my fellow passengers to start to look appetizing to me. ;)

Stop me if you've heard this one (oh wait, you can't, this isn't live): Two cannibals are eating a clown, when one turns to the other and says "Does this taste funny to you?".

[podling]

Well, to be honest, they didn't look appetizing. They did resemble a meat truck somewhat though.

oh, and heh.

[podling]

Oh, and lest I forget, EW!!!

But rabbit tastes like chicken!

[astrophysicat.livejournal.com]

what kind of tri-athelete chickens are you eating?
