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.

Yeah, there's this island in the south Pacific I was reading about where cannibalism was common for ages, and there was this zombie disease that the people would get from human flesh, like rabies in a dog, that would cause brain damage and extreme violence and laughter in the affected cannibal.

As long as it wasn't some hannibal situation and the guy had just died and no one cared if I did. I'd do it then. I couldn't eat a fat girl though that would be disgusting.

There's an extra in the dvd for Hostel where the Icelandic actor was eating it, describing how you eat it and what the individual parts taste like. Been wanting it ever since.


the brain and eyes taste shit, but the face meat and tongue are delicious, sheep's balls aren't bad too, they're very soft.

boiled snails are extremely delicious too

Bought this in Japan, not sure what this is but I had random people walking up to me whilst I was eating it saying 'oishiii'

In Japan this summer they released a new flavour of drink ...

I've eaten snails before, and frogs legs. (They really do just taste like a weaker flavoured chicken.) Pretty sure I may have eaten human meat on some dodgy kebab before.

If it was sweet, it was probably egg. It really good stuff, they put it on sushi.

I've only eaten pretty normal stuff. Though now that I'm a vegan that eliminates most weird food in the world. But, there was that stinky tofu I saw on Bizarre Foods. That looked rancid and disgusting and I wouldn't want to try it. :D (Well the one from the street vendor didn't seem too terrible but the one that the lady left in tubs for weeks looked really disgusting.)

I remember seeing a show talking about a delicacy on the island of Sado in Japan (it's off the Northern coast of Honshu by Niigata), it was fish ovaries and they were very poisonous and the only safe way to eat them was to let them soak and putting them through a year long preparation before eating them.

Russian Food is bizzare and disgusting or no flavor. Good Baloney tho and I hate baloney. Remember some fish thing in grey jello. Dear god it was awful. There was a few things edible but every thing I ever tried seemed like a desperate bachelor raiding the fridge and throwing random shit in a pot.
