Would you eat a friend's severed leg, as described on the most recent bombcast?

No, I don't think cannibalism can ever be classified as "guilt free". Eating some part of another human being as if it was on the menu from Applebee's isn't something I would elect to do. I can excuse it in one of those trapped-in-the-Andes situations, but not under any casual dining circumstance.

I can't believe how many people are voting no. You all would just let that (possibly) tasty leg go to waste!

Not if I had a choice. If it were life and death perhaps. But I wouldn't want to eat dog either.

Under the circumstances, it's a lot more ethical than eating an animal which was killed for its meat. I'd rather eat my own meat than a friend's.

Timestamp?

How is the leg being prepared?

Fuck no! I saw this thread last night and didn't enter it for fear of further bombcast spoilers and assumed it meant a stranded on an island situation where your friend lost his leg and it was your only way to survive, not "Hmm, I think I may want to eat this leg" situation. What the fuck. No.

I wouldn't stop there.

What about a cow that wanted you to eat him.

No, and 11:40 through 11:50 of that discussion made me laugh for 30 seconds straight

I hear you have to remove your lower ribs to do that.............

On topic, no, god, no, With what my friends eat, drink, etc. there is no way that leg would taste edible.

No way. It'll turn into one of those stories that you can never tell someone because it would make people look at you like a monster.

Not someone I know. Jesus, that would be traumatizing.

Anonymous leg-meat is a totally different story, though.

If I crash landed in some futuristic space craft on a desolate moon and all our rations were gone... Than sure, why not.

"Lisa, this is lamb not a lamb." - Homer Simpson

Absolutely not.

No, that's utterly disgusting and amoral. That conversation on the podcast was pretty entertaining, though.

Yep. Tennessee barbecue those gams!

If some guy would chainsaw someone's leg off and would tell me to eat it or else I am next, yes I would eat it.

MAYBE?

I'm actually the polar opposite- I would only eat my own leg. I know where I've been, I know my blood is clean... that leg is part of me and I want it inside me!

Not again.

I like how eager Jeff sounds about the idea. You know what? I'd try it.

Everybody just go watch Alive

But I would have no qualms with eating a friends leg as long as they seemed into the idea. I would be pretty pumped about eating my perfectly good but totally amputated leg. I mean, who isn't curious about how people taste?! (right?) As for the "what if you like it" problem, I also like the taste of veal but I don't eat it cause it makes me sad. So... easy to not eat it.

I'd just like to take a moment to say, some(probably most) of the people who have answered no to this poll probably would eat a friend's body part after four days without food and coming to the realization that if they don't do it, they'll die.

@alexl86: I'd die before being forced to eat 4 day old friend leg meat.

"The flesh tastes like pork, a little bit more bitter, stronger. It tastes quite good," he said.

No, why would i.

I've had Manwichbefore, which I assume from the name is made from people. So...sure, why not?

Would you consider a different appendage?

Well, I don't see the harm, but it sounds gross.
