supposedly human flesh tastes like Spam (the meat product).
this is one theory why Spam was so popular with polynesians (remember they ate cap't cook, among others)

to quote Paul Theroux
"It was a theory of mine that former cannibals of Oceania now feasted on Spam because Spam came the nearest to approximating the porky taste of human flesh. `Long pig' as they called a cooked human being in much of Melanesia"

oh my.........

That's why I only eat organically grown humans. From the purest stock.

It's pork. Man is known as "long pig" in some of the less advanced places around the world . . .

Correctomundo. I actually saw an old Polynesian recipe for preparing "long pig" once. :Q :D

What's the harm in asking? It's not like he's gonna go kill someone and eat them. I hope. :p

The answer was posted, but I'll reiterate: Humans taste like spam.

They interviewed the people that inspired the movie "alive," where their plane crashed in the snowy mountains and they had to resort to cannibalism to survive. They said it's strikingly familiar to spam..

A Spanish explorer that came to the Americas in the 16th century (can't remember who for the life of me) wrote back that he had tried human flesh and that "It was the most deliscious meat he had ever tasted."

Bon-appetit! :p
