Would you eat a friend's severed leg, as described on the most recent bombcast?
I'm guessing in a survival situation or something. No I don't think I would be able to bring myself to cannabalism.
I just now downloaded this. I figure I need to give it a listen now.
So I guess I'm beating Donkey Kong Country 2 to the sounds of the Bombcast.
EDIT: Not quite finished with the Bombcast, but I'm long past this part. The answer has always been "no, not under any circumstances", but at least now I've got some context.

No. I can barely eat chicken if it looks like it belonged to something that was once living. I also once owned a chicken and her name was Mr. Bean. I couldn't take proper care of her due to having a small garden, so I returned it to the farmer I bought her from. She was killed by a fox within the week.
I used to have to wake up at like 6am to go and take fresh hay from a nearby abandoned farm. I tried one of the eggs it laid but it was terrible.
I also had 2 terrapins from I was 6. Their names were Sammy and Glen. I think I named them that because there was a butcher shop called 'Sammy & Glen's' on the way to the pet shop. All of this is true.
There are many instances of my not understanding why they talk about the things they do...But this took the cake. What? WHAT?!
No, I wouldn't.

Whenever someone mentions eating people thats the first thing my mind thinks of.
Don't forget that it's a true story.
That discussion on the bombcast made me not want to eat meat ever again...although I had a hot dog for dinner...
Now I wouldn't eat a friends leg... but I would have a bite of unknown human leg. I heard human flesh tastes like spam.
I'm not going to lie. I felt very uncomfortable during that entire discussion. So I guess my answer is no.

Thats mostly why It always comes to mind.
I haven't listened to the bombcast yet but I'd have some questions that need answering first. Is it no longer attached to this friend's body? If so, why is it no longer attached to this friend's body? Was it plucked? Do I get to pick which friend? How many calories are we talking here? How was it cooked? Do I get to add anything? What wine pairs best with human leg?
@AngelN7: But what if it doesn't? What if it's delicious?
Given the context that this is taking place in a world where hospitals send your severed limbs and organs home with you to do whatever with, and how it was the friend's idea and having an "eat my leg party" is his or her way of getting over the loss of a limb...maybe. Even if I wouldn't swallow it, I would it at least take a bite and chew it a bit just to see what it tastes like.

I was glad when Vinny stopped it, was feeling rather queasy towards the end of the conversation.
Me too. I was legitimately uncomfortable.
OK, if I was trapped somewhere with a friend who died of natural causes and no other sustenance could be found, maybe. I'd like to say no, but you can never honestly tell what you'd do in extreme situations.
Nope. Well, if he already was in a bad way and it was for survival, then yeah I guess I would.
I do have a habit of tasting things (mostly spices and uncooked versions of things you normally only eat after they are cooked) used in cooking. And I do have a slight interest in what human flesh tastes like... But still, the answer is in most circumstances, NO.
Only if I was absolutely starving to death.
Beware of this if you have a weak stomach. ;D
Sure, if i could cook it first...eating raw meat is disgusting, barbaric even. And now, despite having a shit ton of things i need to do, I'll go listen to the bombcast.
