Imagine that...you're really rich, could eat anywhere and anything you wanted...and you decide to sit down for dinner with a bunch of cannibals for monkey, ape and a side order of human being?

Next thing you'll be telling us is that he drives an Audi TT

 

anybody know that one chapter in "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"? where the large animal walks in and says,


"Good evening. I am the Dish of the Day. May I interest you in parts of my body?"...

"Something off the shoulder perhaps? Braised in a white wine sauce?"...

"Or may I urge you to consider my liver?" asks the animal, "it must be very rich and tender by now, I've been force-feeding
myself for months."



for some reason, this scene keeps popping in my head. (it's one of my all-time favorites from Douglas Adams)

 

Tritium_pie.....you like pie????

 

I saw a very old National Geographic story which detailed the memories of the last known cannibal (excluding our more recent twisted examples). He was a very old man and had been off human flesh for most of his life, but he did say that he clearly remembered that young children were the best AND even to that day (over 50 years after eating his last human meal) he still craved the occasional child... YUK!

Nope, this guys dad worked with Bell designing the telephone and he owned a large phone company back when phone companies were privately owned. He was a young man when he did this sometime in the 1920's or 30's. He told me and my dad this story when I was 10 or 12 years old (in the late 1960's) and I've always remembered it. I've never liked the taste of any "sweet tasting" meat because of it. It kind of freaks me out to even eat lobster because I always think about what he said.

 

I am amazed at the number of positive or conditionally positive responses here.

Personally, I would rather die than do this. 1) I am quite sure there is no circumstance which could bring me to do such a thing, 2) the experience would be too much to live with the rest of my life. I do believe some things are worse than death. You only die once, memories last a lifetime.

To each their own.

Btw: Horrid subject.

 

I'd eat.
