Yeah, I've had a spoonful of tinned dog food before. Thought I was gonna be just like Mad Max. What happened is I actually couldn't even swallow it. Disgusting.
Here's a question; would you try human meat? Under normal circumstances, I would not. It's a stupid idea, since livestock are kept under very strict conditions, typically not allowed to move around much, and are slaughtered by the time they're a year old. This produces sumptuous, juicy meat.
Since looking at a human, you can tell that the animal is neither raised nor bred for its meat. Therefore one would be looking for adult specimens, whom have had 20 or so years of life. The meat would be very stringy, chewy and tough, indeed. Also, unlike livestock, the typical human specimen is not kept in a controlled environment. You would be opening yourself up to all sorts of toxins, blood-born viruses and pathogens.
Still, in an apocalypse scenario, I think I'd quickly become a cannibal once all the pre-apocalypse food runs out. I've got a way with words, and I think I could do well luring people to their slaughter. Tastes just like pork, anyway.
