First of all: I AM NOT A CANNIBAL! I was just curious about what we taste like and it has been sticking in the back of my mind for some time. What do we taste like? Chicken? Pork? Roadkill? What do you think that we taste like? But please....don't eat yourself while pondering in this forum. sad.gif

I think that it is pork, but less tasty.

Well apparently you're right. I hope that was just a lucky guess. ohmy.gif

There was a thread awhile back that explained this to the tee. Just ask FluffyBunny or search for the original thread.

It tastes like ground beef REALY......

It tastes like pork - our flesh and organs are similer to pigs anyhow.

Also, the tastiest part is the fleshy area between your palm and where your fingers start. - saw it on a documenty~

Fluffybunny said it tastes like pork, I believe him since he said he accidently had a mouth full of squashed human meat in his mouth.


P.S. I don't like pork.

My stomach turned a little after reading this thread laugh.gif.

Well, I couldn't say what it tasted like >_>, but my biology teacher said the smell of a dead human is a sickening sweetness. dontgetit.gif

I,m possitive i never want to find out,But i heard on some documentary that we wouldn,t need to be seasoned since we,re very salty! So i guess those that say we taste like pork or bacon would probably be the closest!

Aww, I just ate mystery meat. whistling2.gif

I rather not know. Because I'll end up thinking about it all the time. And it'll mess up mt brain.

There seems to be a great deal of speculation about the flavor of human flesh. Writers as far back as Petronius have asserted that human flesh has a distinctive quality that makes it difficult for civilized people to stomach. In The Satyricon, Eumolpus makes a will that requires his heirs to eat his flesh if they want to get their hands on his money. He advises,

"Just close your eyes and imagine that, instead of human flesh, you're munching a million. If that isn't enough, we'll concoct some gravy that will take the taste away. As you know, no meat is really very tasty anyway: it all has to be sauced and seasoned with great care before the reluctant stomach will keep it down."[1]

Anthropologist Jeremy MacClancy described the taste of human flesh -- based not upon his own experience, mind you, but upon the testimony of some of the natives of the New Hebrides islands of the South Pacific:

"From all accounts, human meat is very sweet, in Vanuatu, they say that the flesh of a black man is sweet, whereas the flesh of a white man is really quite salty and stringy, they say it's not so nice."[2]

Derek, a member of the Dani tribe in Irian Jaya reminisced about the taste of human flesh in an article in the Baltimore Morning Sun, in May 1992:

"Deliciouiversity, Corvallis, OR.

.Old ones are tough. Young men and women taste better. And babies taste like fish. The flesh is very soft.["3]<

This, superficially, sounds like a reponse to our question -- but there is a vagueness, a reliance upon allusions to unspecified attributes of other meats, that ultimately fails to provide a satisfactory answer.

In the New Guinea highlands, Gimi women, who used to eat the decomposing bodies of their menfolk did so for good endocannibalistic reasons: they wanted to keep the essence of the deceased from being wasted, to prevent the last vestiges of the memories and awareness of the dearly departed from being lost towhat we might call entropy. However,

"Older women remember that human flesh had a uniquely delectable sweetness"[4]

The advanced state of decomposition of the Gimi's flesh adds an unsavory element that only confuses the issue at hand. If someone asked us to describe the flavor of milk, but the only form of milk we had ever tasted was ripe Gorgonzola -- our response would probably be of little utility. The Gimi woman's description of the flavor of over-ripe man is, therefore, useless to us.

You can now also taste human flesh by trying something called "Hufu"

So what does human flesh taste like? Their FAQ says, "If you've never had human flesh before, think of the taste and texture of beef, except a little sweeter in taste and a little softer in texture. Contrary to popular belief, people do not taste like pork or chicken."

I saw a documentary once that stated that human flesh tastes almost like pork except that human flesh is tastier.. wacko.gif

In a version of Pigeonenglish, PNG's call humans, "LongPork", because they were originally cannabalistic:


...

and I think the rest is self explenatory.

I really don't even like eating animals...let alone a human....I don't think we taste like chicken, pork, or beef
and from what I've seen on pertaining to how the human body gets after "death" and so quickly...who would want to......
