    You mean like in the film "alive"?

    I was in the FL we had to eat some horrible things, monkeys, rats, snakes. I'd starve before I ate a human.

    Yeah more or less.

    Definitely. Probably tastes like pork anyway.

    You are what you eat...

    If you're hungry enough you'll eat anything. I'm talking life or death situation, it'd quickly turn very Lord of the Flies-ish.

    Not a bother. Meat is meat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,587 ✭✭✭touts


    Technically I do it all the time. That's how I keep my fingernails in shape.

    But if you are talking about eating someone else. Well it depends on the circumstances. An Alive situation. I think so yes. If they were already dead why not. If I died in a crash and others could live by eating my corpse I say dig in. I'm not using it any more. But if it's a fava beans and nice Chianti situation then absolutely not.

    It's not even a dilemma, unless you're vegan

    Raw or cooked! Definitely wouldn’t hesitate if it was cooked.

    It’s a dilemma for non cannibals.

    If I was desperate enough in some sort of emergency if it looked like pork and tasted like pork ... whats that rule, dont ask dont dont tell?

    Yes, provided it comes with some fava beans and a nice chianti.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,413 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    I think I would. I genuinely didn’t see the whole moral dilemma fuss about the movie Alive. They did what they had to IMO.

    Apparently the book and film are very watered down.
    Theres been rumours for years that they were unable to eat the deceased due to them being frozen solid, so...... one of players who survived the crash was chosen to be dinner.
    I ain't sayin' nuthin' more either but apparently young Armaldo was quite tasty.

    What's the best part to eat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,313 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    I'd never do it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭fmpisces


    Jeez I dunno for sure unless I were in that situation but right now I'm tempted to say that I think I'd prefer to starve. Even to eat cooked organs (I love lamb's liver) I don't know would a human's taste similar?

    I was standing behind a fine young thing in a shop queue. She was wearing tight leggings. I’d have eaten the arse of her given half a chance.

    It used to be the custom of the sea until a court ruling that stated that necessity was no excuse for murder.

    As long as they were dead first.

    Probably ok for a starter but never for the main course !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,996 ✭✭✭✭gozunda


    People have, it's not unusual in the case of where theres no other food available.
