What is your attitude towards cannibals?
Well I don’t know any personally, but I would assume fearful.
What are your inner thoughts?
How would you rate it overall?
You tell me.
Thanks awfully.

Truthfully, I have never given it much thought.
From anthro classes back in college I have a basic understanding of the why and as they explain it was either a situation which somehow created a lack of food (think crashed plane in the Andes or severe drought as in the New Mexico/Colorado area inhabited by the Anisazi) or, more commonly, a sort of religious undertaking where the positive attributes of the “eatee” were absorbed by the “eater”.
From a personal perspective, meat IS meat.
I take them with a grain of salt.
And a side of fava beans.
Depends on why they’re cannibals. If they’re eating their already-dead fellows to avoid starvation, well…that’s icky, but supportable.
If they’re serial killers who get off on eating their victims, then, um, NO.
If they’re doing it for religious purposes, ditto.
Meh, bite me!
Dwelling on stuff like that can eat away at you.
I’d give an arm and a leg to find out.
I don’t respond to their dinner party invitations.
I’m not too inclined to go over for a barbecue. But it is called “long pork”, I guess it goes well with beans or applesauce.
The cannibal queen was lounging on her bed and she had a longing and summoned her servant, told him what she wanted, and sent him off. He came back a little later with a shrunken head. She looked at him and sighed. “Honey that wasn’t what I meant when I said I wanted a little head.” Hey it’s Friday.
As long as they don’t serve clown; they taste funny.
The only ones I met (in Borneo) were cheerful and friendly. Since the practice is now banned, I wonder if they miss it. Now there’s somebody I could ask how we taste. Too bad I didn’t speak the language.
Q: What does the cannibal get when he is late for dinner?
A: A cold shoulder.
The University of Colorado – Boulder has the “Alferd G. Packer Memorial Grill” with the slogan “Have a friend for lunch!”.
I don’t know any but hope they are eating the bad people of the world.
Stories about cannibals are really hard to digest.
There is something a bit disconcerting about cannibals, but I can’t quite put a finger on it.
Remember the movie with Denzel? If you eat too much human meat you get the shakes like a palsy. Clue #1.
Probably tastes like chicken.
What do they serve for hors d oeuvres? Or finger foods?
You don’t know any personally? What’s wrong with you?! They’re all over the place! Some of my best friends are cannibals.
All I know about cannibals, from what I understand they didn’t eat humans for dinner. Cannibalism was stylized and ritualistic, and involved eating only the heart of a conquered warrior.
To that end, I’m not the least bit worried. I’m not a warrior.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give them a 10.
There. I’ve spilled my guts, given you my most inner thoughts on cannibals.
Just “victims” of their culture. haha
I traveled in asia a few years ago and the native peoples of Taiwans Toroko Gorge area were cannibals until a mere 100 years ago. Asias culture has a lot of cannibalism in it’s history, even now in some remote areas.
In surgery they frequently use electric cautery to stop bleeding. The smells that waft up from that are EXACTLY like barbeque. In a long surgery, that could make you mighty hungry.
@Coloma I thought that bbq ‘dried squid’ tasted funny with my beer lol, flesh-colored, too.
I read that as Cannabis.
I have nothing to add once I learned this is about cannibals.
@zenvelo It creeps me out that you post that with no qualifiers…lol
What one does in the privacy of their own home should not be a concern to anyone else, and it shouldn’t be grounds for firing someone if they test positive.
I also read that as cannabis.
I knew what you had done there before I even clicked the link, @augustlan.
Bow, now, now, now…ooh, ooh.
