Consuming human flesh to stay Alive, could you do it ?

Me, no qualms, I'm quite the fat ****er so I'd have to watch out for my fellow survivors causing me an accident.
I reckon I could go 3 days max then I'd be noshing the hind quarters off some poor unfortunate.
Would like it cooked first mind but maybe it's not the place to be fussy.

Could you break one of society's final taboos to stay alive.

Ah yeah, wouldnt be nice but dont think id have a problem doing it if i had no other choice

al28283 · 18-07-2012 12:21PM

If it was cooked maybe

AnonoBoy · 18-07-2012 12:21PM

I'd do it if I was even slightly peckish, was out of food and didn't want to walk to the shops.

biko · 18-07-2012 12:21PM

Since it's not likely to happen I'll go along with your attitude:
Sure thing, no problem.

If your on the menu op, sure, I like lamb

MadPatrick · 18-07-2012 12:24PM

I'd like to eat human before I die, just out of curiosity. But it's not likely to happen.

davet82 · 18-07-2012 12:25PM

Tombi! · 18-07-2012 12:27PM

Cooked I'd give it a go.

Not uncooked. I once had rare steak and nearly got sick from it being too soft.

Yes, I prefer to steer clear clear of meat and two veg if there's a nice bit of breast on the menu.

If it was medium well. Not a big fan of well done.

Paddy Cow · 18-07-2012 12:30PM

In an Alive style situation I think I would get so hungry that I would eat the dead to stay alive. They're already dead so it doesn't matter.

Not sure how I would react if it was an Alive style situation but no one died in the crash and it became of kill and eat or be killed and eaten.........

ejmaztec · 18-07-2012 12:31PM

How would you work out the "best before date"?

stimpson · 18-07-2012 12:35PM

I'd try the liver... With some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Paddysnapper · 18-07-2012 12:36PM

It would depend on age of carcass length of time 'hung' to mature:eek:

jester77 · 18-07-2012 12:38PM

Depend on the sauce that was it.

qwerty93 · 18-07-2012 12:52PM

Noel: "God, we might have to eat each other, it'd be like that film Alive. Look, here's me eating Tony... and Tony'd be like oh no get off me, I'm not dead yet and I'd be like, but I'm hungry, Tony! And here's Tony's parents when they hear that I've eaten Tony; oh why did you eat Tony, Tony was our only son. Then at the funeral I'd be like oh I better not show my-"
Tony: "SHUT UP, SHUT UP, WILL YOU? WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP???"

mongdesade · 18-07-2012 12:57PM

Not a bother, meat is meat...handy to have some sweet chilli or hoi-sin dipping sauce to hand though...nom nom nom

Duggy747 · 18-07-2012 01:06PM

Depends what's in the cupboards

"Now THIS is what I call finger food!!"

Odysseus · 18-07-2012 01:07PM

Yeah if it had to be done, I have done a lot of survival stuff, human would have to taste better than some of the stuff I eaten to see what they taste like. Insects etc

ScumLord · 18-07-2012 01:09PM

Everyone would do it if they where hungry enough. Hunger is something most of us have never truly experienced, it would overcome all our social nicety's and it would be almost impossible to ignore.

Sure if you need an excuse to get started.

cade · 18-07-2012 01:14PM

Let's face it, we're Irish, if you bang it into a stew or coddle then any of us would eat it

Teyla Emmagan · 18-07-2012 01:15PM

Yes. True starvation would lead you to do nearly anything I think.

As long as you don't deliberately kill someone to eat them I think it's okay.

Human flesh is just protein after all.

People have rationally and democratically made the decision to kill one of the group so the others can live in the past.

I don't think most people would be above killing to survive either.

Really? I wonder how they came to a decision. Would it be draw straws, fight to the death etc. Or maybe someone offered to take one for the team.

mauzo · 18-07-2012 01:56PM

I really don't think I could. BUt then again you don't know what you're capable of until you're in that situation.
