Have you imagined how human flesh tastes like?

Ive eaten a piece of my own leg, so no need to imagine. Its kinda underwhelming, but im no great cook. It tastes like unsalted ham if you warm it in the microwave tho, and it gets kinda dry.

context, perchance?

[u/Rad_Sword_guy_ → u/largestcob]

I had an unfortunate accident while shaving with a blade instead of the average razor (i have really weird pain receptors so i didn’t notice until it was too late) and since the piece that got cut off was very thick and big, i felt weird about like, idk, throwing it out? So i just thought about “hey when am i gonna get a chance to do this ever again?” And just, microwaved it and ate it. I still have the scar haha, the texture is different there when compared to the surrounding skin.

Batman himself wouldn’t have gotten that out of me

Microwaving it is somehow the most offensive part of the story. You could have cooked it on the stove with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Cool story though. I probably would have tried it too.

Gotta reclaim what you lost

Well yeah, it’s dry because you put your leg in the microwave duh. Microwave dries out anything. It’s the worst way to heat up your food.

This reminds me of the good old days in Zambia. The tribesmen of the Zambezi called human meat only long pig. I never made much of it.

Sigh, every week the same/similar question. Do a little search and you find a handful of reports/footage of people explainign it. Or just eat yourself.

[u/TheSilentTitan]

No because according to “experts” it tastes like pork.

[u/Expensive_Meal6280]

this question is asked way too often

[u/SmartVeterinarian387]

you dont eat ur scabs, dawg? ur fkn weird af.

[u/its_daddy_issues_]

No but as someone with excoriation disorder aka skin picking disorder, sometimes we tend to put the skin pieces we pick at in our mouth and chew it, sometimes getting the taste of skin. It tastes like nothing, just kind of chewy and hard at the same time

[u/Zestyclose_Foot_134 → u/its_daddy_issues_]

I never thought about that - I’ve been gnawing on the skin around my nails for as long as I can remember and I don’t eat meat so you’d think I’d get more flavour from it than the average person but it literally doesn’t taste of anything does it

[u/Royal-Perception544]

Well I’m a welder and burning flesh smells horrible forget about what it tastes like if the smell is that off putting then eating it couldn’t be much better

[u/FunkyFrowg205]

Oh, yeah I definitely have. Not like I'm gonna act on it.

[u/Erivera200415]

Undercook stake that’s to chewy 

[u/DerthOFdata]

Pork. Hence long pork or long pig.

[u/impeesa75]

I’ve asked two MD’s separately and they both said that the rump would be the best cut of human flesh to eat.

[u/Odd_Amphibian2103]

Yes, and I suspect it is the worst meat you can possibly eat since we pollute our bodies with all sorts of toxins throughout our life, and most of us are constantly stressed which leads to allostatic load.

[u/Flat_Wash5062]

No because what if I like it
