If you could, without having to actually do anything, try
human flesh? There was a mock product with website a few years ago called Hufu
which was supposedly a tofu product manufactured to taste like human flesh. There’s
a Wikipedia page dedicated to it if
you don’t believe me. Also, in the description of this fakery, the creators of
Hufu spent time with a cannibalistic tribe in South America in order to get a
good taste/quality control tests to make sure it was accurate (source needed).
The other day, I saw another article on happyplace.com about another product of human burger patties
created by 2 chefs in London. I realize that happyplace.com is probably a
really bad source for reliable news, but they aren’t any worse than CNN-
amiright? Zing! Anyway, like Hufu, it isn’t actually meat made from people.
There are no babies in cages being fattened up for their livers or other tasty
baby parts.
This poses the original question, would you try it? I think
I would. I also realize that this thought process is seriously fucked up. I get
that. I consider it to be a, “Go for it!” kind of attitude. I’ve also been
thinking about this since I heard about Hufu- roughly 8 or 9 years ago, which I
also think is 7 a on the Richter Scale of fucked up mind earthquakes – that I’ve
been thinking about it that long, not that someone made a fictitious thing.
Anyway, it does slightly concern me that these chefs feel it
closely meets what actual human flesh tastes like…How do they know?! The other
disconcerting thought I have is, what if I get a taste for fake human and I
really like it and the only place to get it is in London? I can see it now,
someone asks me what I want for dinner and I can’t stop craving people burgers.
Would it be funny if they named the meal after a person? I think so. Tonight’s
special: Rack of Carrie with a béarnaise sauce, sautéed green beans and garlic
mashed potatoes.
I’d still try it.
