I don't understand this. Everyone is wondering how to keep "the meat" fresh when the real question is how are you going to cook it? And most of all how can you see in a cave? The question should be out in the mountains or frozen tundra. I'll eat a damn raw fish first. Human? Well, the brain will turn zombie like after no food for so long, I'm not sure if I would eat a human or not and don't want to know. Couldn't answer the poll.

They didn't cook the people meat in that notorious South American plane crash they made a movie about (Alive!).
 
I think it depends on who I was trapped with.

My 4 main food groups are Meat, Castoreum, Beer, and Coffee and I smoke an unhealthy amount of pipe tobacco and cigars.

I'm pretty sure my meat would be considered "tainted" by most 🙂
FTFY

You have to wait until you know when you'll be rescued; nobody wants to be the dick caught murdering somebody right as the rescue drill busts down a wall. But if we know when we will be rescued, we don't have enough food to last that long, and I'm stuck with a bunch of no-kill lawful white knights, I know what to do.
 
Yea, 1st, learn how to do a link ....
2nd, capsaicin castoreum ... they are not even similar sounding or spelling at all. Pretty much every letter other than the 1st 2 letters are wrong.

please do not project your fantasies onto others.
I know how to make a link, thank you very much, it was simply a failed attempt to clean up the unwanted crap from the URL Google provided when all I wanted was the spelling (copied their URL for convenience, I thought). I'm on mobile, FFS.

Anyway, you simply failed to get the joke: I wasn't correcting you, I was swapping one of the things in your list for something else which I think would make your meat even less desirable for consumption. The link wasn't even necessary. I knew exactly what Capsaicin is.

Ohh, in that case, I also enjoy delicious sandwiches of asbestos bread with chips of lead paint for meat and mercury from those fancy curly q light bulbs as condiment. Mmmmm.
 
Only if there is a way to cook it. Otherwise I would never eat any kind of raw meat. Even then I'd probably not do it unless someone dies.

The difference is that my substitution is, surprisingly, considered edible and eaten often. It's supposed to be an eye-opener. No one thinks Asbestos is part of your complete breakfast and their assumption is correct.

This situation doesn't work,.. since if you eat one of these people you may very well:
- get arrested once rescued
- beaten up, by the others who will stop you from killing and eating someone
- get whatever awfulness they may be infected with
- have to deal with the stench of rotting human flesh,.. and your own crap

So, no. I would rather just die of hunger.
 
You get trapped by a cave in inside a deep cavern alongwith a dozen other people. There is a steady stream of water and even oxygen to keep you alive at that depth, but no food at all. The mining operation to rescue you all could take months or even upto a year. How will you survive all those months with nothing to eat except your fellow people? Will you turn to cannibalism or choose to die of hunger?

Lol what the fuck. This just screams implausibility. If you are trapped underground and a rescue team knows about it, they drill a shaft down and pass you food. So fuck your post, that's not turning me into a cannibal. 😉

I do not eat breakfast. Not sure how everyone knows, but you are certainly correct. Are you spying on me? What else do you know?
