Poll: If you were legally allowed to sample human flesh, just once - would you?

[DarkenedWolfEye]

If the guy was healthy and didn't die of some kind of sickness, then definitely. The only thing holding me back is legal issues and being conscious of hygiene. Other than that, I have to say I'm quite curious to see how human meat tastes. We're probably not too different from other kinds of red meat, in all likelihood.

 

[Coppernerves]

What if it tasted like another meat, say, pork for example, and then when I eat pork I can't be sure whether it really is pork or a murdered man like in Sweeney Todd?

Human muscle, taken from the back, close to the spine, sliced thin - about a quarter-inch to a half-inch - and broiled close to the flame. Properly cooked, but done quickly so very little fat is lost. Tender, and still has the full, uninhibited flavor.
A pinch of salt to maximize the flavor. One slice to get my palate familiar with the flavor and texture, one to evaluate the quality, then one more to make sure I have it right. Maaaaybe a fourth, just because.

Oh, wait... then I'll have to try it in other dishes and cooking methods. This could be a real slippery slope. On the other hand, if I don't much like the taste of the meat as prepared above, I guess it's pointless to try using it in other ways.

 

[Sansha]

Yes. I'd like to try raw and cooked.

Just for the taboo.

If it came with a side of fava beans and a nice Chianti, I might give it a try.

I was gonna say that! get out of my head! ;p

There was a murderer who used human meat in sausage making and went uncaught for some time because I guess, the sausages just tasted like any other sausages.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

Sure why not. I heard we taste like pork as our meat is most similar to that of a pig. Though since we are upright animals most of the meat would be very chewy and tough.

Then there is the whole Kuru thing.

Exactly. I am a traditionalist.
But nah, not some random dude. If it was a healthy female body then sure. But eating a dude would seem weird.
... Wait, does that make it even creepier?

Now that's interesting. Why would you eat female flesh and not male?

Just seems a little gay. And yes, I know that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I am fully aware of that fact. But still, that is my reason.

I might give it a bite, so long as it wasn't an organ and well cooked.
