"Like fully developed veal." — William Seabrook, author and journalist who spent time with a cannibal tribe in West Africa in the 1920s.
"Like pork. It tastes quite good." — Armin Meiwes, a German who ate large portions of a man who agreed to be killed and devoured in 2002.
"So sweet!" — Egyptian-born fashion model Omaima Nelson, describing the cooked ribs of the abusive husband whom she'd killed in 1991.
Despite these rave reviews, it's probably safe to assume that most people won't be inspired to find out for themselves anytime soon. Which is not surprising.
What is surprising, however, is the fact that in the U.S. there are no actual laws per se — with one exception — that prohibit the consumption of human flesh. In 49 states, you can at least theoretically eat human flesh and drink human blood in full view of a policeman and suffer no legal consequences. But if you try that in Idaho — the one exception — you could spend up to 14 years behind bars.
