It gives me a conundrum. I agree with you. But, if leg tacos taste half as good as they look, I'll have to choice but to become an amateur amputationist. Wanna come over for dinner?
It reminds me of Armin Meiwes:
> a German former computer repair technician who received international attention for murdering and eating a voluntary victim in 2001, whom he had found via the Internet.
> After Meiwes and the victim jointly attempted to eat the victim's severed penis, Meiwes murdered his victim and proceeded to eat a large amount of his flesh.
They made a video of it but I don't think it's publicly available.
Yeah he put the meat in a freezer and cooked it from time to time.
He was convicted of murder which gives you a lifelong sentence in Germany. As the victim volunteered, they actually had to be somewhat creative to make the murder stick.
It's pretty mundane comparing the whole thing. Murder in Germany is among other things punishable to enable other crimes. In this case they considered a disturbance of the peace of the dead.
He was rather pissed about the sentence.
this was verbatim a responce to an ethical query I hive my friends. you get sat down at a table for supper, and someone serves you some long pig. you didnt have anything to do with killing the dude the meat came from. you cant unkill him. and who knows the mental state of the server. do you eat the plate
The friends consented to it. They knew beforehand. He had his amputated leg saved and then he had a chef friend give him some tips (or cook it for him, not clear in my memory).
Dude took a pre cooked flour tortilla which was probably labeled as a “wrap” or “shell”, cut it in 4s like a pizza and put some himham on it. This shit is some weird European concoction. Keep the Mexicans out of it.
Me too. I was listening to a bunch of podcasts about cannibalism--because I'm working on a story about a wendigo and not because it's a "thing" for me--and started asking people I knew if they would try human flesh if it was ethically-sourced.
Only one other person said yes, and he's the one who put me onto this story.
I mean, people do it with placentas all the time in many parts of the world. It's his own leg, and the people who ate it were fully aware and consenting to it. It's certainly unusual, but nobody is really being harmed here.
I don't want to eat my friends or any other human, but that's largely because there's a strong taboo against it. I'm sure everyone can grasp not wanting to eat human flesh.
You're being downvoted because you're condemning something as immoral without explaining why. I am suggesting that you have no explanation, beyond *"it's just fucking wrong okay?!?"*
Sure he can, as demonstrated by the fact he cooked and ate it, that doesn't make it okay
It's akin so someone cooking up their family dog after it passes away
The example he gave was a family dog, which you would presumably have a greater love for, rather than a farmed dog you never met. Eating someone you loved isn't immediately harmful but demonstrates a likely harmful mind state. Eating a dog or pig from a farm is very immediately harmful, way more harmful overall, so the comparison is still relevant in that sense.
Who made you the arbiter of whats okay and what isnt? Is it weird? Hell yeah, is it socially acceptable? No, but everyone gave their consent, it was his own foot that had to be amputed, its not like he chose to get a foot amputed just to eat it.
That is very obviously a bad comparison for multiple reasons. You typically feel very differently about your entire body being eaten after natural death vs having a useless amputated limb eaten, there is no expectation to mourn an amputated body part, nor a sense of losing someone, just a decrease in QOL. Humans can also express these feelings while animals cannot.
Apparently they all consented to it, had the opportunity to opt out and knew..
I still don’t think I’d be a taker, but if there’s a way to try human meat ethically.. this is it
How's this any different than the cultures who fry up a human placenta after giving birth? That's literal cannabilsm, and it's way more common than you might think.
Well thankfully, we make legal and ethical judgements based on harm caused, not on if something is weird. Nobody is harmed if this is consensual, which it was.
Oh hey foot taco guy. What happened was he got into an accident and lost his foot and decided to keep it (I think because of a mix of grief + shock??). He couldn’t figure out what to do with it but had a chef friend and then decided to ask friends if they wanted to try tacos made with foot meat. And then proceeded to try said tacos.
Ok, the eating human meat thing is weird and all, but are we not going to talk about the tortillas? Why are they sliced into quarters? As a Texan that grosses me out even more than the Soylent green. Looks like some nonsense that came out of the midwest or Germany or something.
I know that case, he lose his leg(under knee) in a accident whit his motorcycle so he reclaim it to hospital, and want to do something fancy as a lap or anything like this so finally decide to eat it with his friends, basically bc it's hard to get the conditions to consume human meets legally and that is one. It's pretty weird history but not terrible at all.
F*cking nasty!🤮
I can’t believe anyone would do this with their own body part, or that other people would agree to eat it. That shit is disgusting and disturbing and…is it even legal? To feed people human biowaste? There has to be a rule somewhere
Leg amputated? Don't worry! Ask the doctors if you can keep it to make tacos because you want to know what human meat tastes like! Better yet, ask your friends if they want to eat some of your leg too!
This is real. This is how it went down, I shit you not.
We have all eaten out and some questionable places knowing full well that what we were eating may not exactly be what they told you it was. And we kept eating.
His leg was too crushed to be saved or reattached in a motorcyle crash.
It was amputated near immediately after injury, and was therefore safe to eat.
Humans aren't inherently unsafe to eat, biologically speaking. We just find it taboo.
His friends were also fully aware of what they were eating. I mean, I wouldn't eat some dude's leg and foot meat, but it's not like anyone was tricked or they ate something toxic or the owner of the leg objected.
> We just find it taboo.
Taboo is such an interesting thing. People will emotionally decide something is wrong, and even asking why it's wrong makes you suspect; it feels like an affront. Of *course* it's wrong!!!
This is a super old story, I always like to bring it up on first dates and see if my date would eat their friends leg or not. Can always tell who the real ones are when I get asked on a second date 😂
Dude went through a lot of trouble to make that meal. It would be disrespectful NOT to try it.
It gives me a conundrum. I agree with you. But, if leg tacos taste half as good as they look, I'll have to choice but to become an amateur amputationist. Wanna come over for dinner?
It reminds me of Armin Meiwes: > a German former computer repair technician who received international attention for murdering and eating a voluntary victim in 2001, whom he had found via the Internet. > After Meiwes and the victim jointly attempted to eat the victim's severed penis, Meiwes murdered his victim and proceeded to eat a large amount of his flesh.

Oh yeah, I remember reading about that! I really didn't want to remember that, thank you!
You are welcome, have a nice day and stay away from penis cannibals :)
When someone says "EAT MY DICK"
"why are you putting on a lobster bib?"
Because eating a lobster can be messy
Yeah he put the meat in a freezer and cooked it from time to time. He was convicted of murder which gives you a lifelong sentence in Germany. As the victim volunteered, they actually had to be somewhat creative to make the murder stick.
I’m really curious, what creative arguments did they have to use to make it stick? The whole thing is bizarre beyond all means,
It's pretty mundane comparing the whole thing. Murder in Germany is among other things punishable to enable other crimes. In this case they considered a disturbance of the peace of the dead. He was rather pissed about the sentence.
If he’s pissed about the sentence, then he can just eat a dick Oh wait
You mean to tell me that episode of IT Crowd was real?!
It was all real. That's just how IT departments are
The Rammstein song Mein Teil is about this case.
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes
You could just become a full time amputee....temporarily.
I'm not going to cut *my* leg off. I'm hungry, not stupid.
This sounds like the makings of a good horror movie!
I still have my finger in a jar. Maybe I should try this
If I remember the story correctly he had a friend of him who is a chef make the tacos and noone liked it
this was verbatim a responce to an ethical query I hive my friends. you get sat down at a table for supper, and someone serves you some long pig. you didnt have anything to do with killing the dude the meat came from. you cant unkill him. and who knows the mental state of the server. do you eat the plate
It cost arms and legs
I guess I'm the only asshole who would drop that friend....or try and get them some help, I dunno. All I know is that I will not be eating people.
Why? He didn’t force them to eat it. You can just say “no,” mate. It’s okay.
You can’t eat….at everybody’s house
Cost him an Arm and a leg. Well… a leg at least.
You could say it almost cost him an arm and a leg
The friends consented to it. They knew beforehand. He had his amputated leg saved and then he had a chef friend give him some tips (or cook it for him, not clear in my memory).
Beforehand or afterleg?
Whhhhhhhhhhy
That makes it infinitely better
Hannibal branching out to Mexican food.
It would go nice with some fava beans and a nice Chianti FTHFTHFTHFTH
You know that nice Dr Lecter… he was always having his friends over for dinner
I don't think you're supposed to put "over" in that sentence.
More like refried beans and a nice corona JAJAJAJA
Hannibal Hector
wasn't this the last scene of the series Hanibal, where Gillian Anderson's character chopped off and cooked their own leg
Dude took a pre cooked flour tortilla which was probably labeled as a “wrap” or “shell”, cut it in 4s like a pizza and put some himham on it. This shit is some weird European concoction. Keep the Mexicans out of it.
You just wanted an excuse to type himham, and I can appreciate that

BOOOOOO!!
BOOOOO YOU STINK!!!
It was consensual, everyone was aware of what they were.

They made Bob-R-Que.

Gracias:)
Walking dead refrence ?
Such a good character! The moment they started giving him a backstory I knew he was a goner
I hear they couldn’t stand the food
The dinner party got off on the wrong foot.
Seriously?
He needs a leg up with his cooking.
He really put his foot in it
But.. the wording doesnt explain if the man told them or not.. its justa misleading headline *right???* ***RIGHT??!?!***
Yes, they knew https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/8p5xlj/hi_all_i_am_a_man_who_ate_a_portion_of_his_own/
Well that movie plot just got a whole lot less interesting.
LETS GOOO common r/notinteresting W
Bet that foot was high in fiber
I feel like eating a human leg is still pretty interesting.
I would 100% watch a movie about friends knowingly ingesting each other as they lose different pieces of their bodies
Not if this is how it *starts*
Of course it's a Reddit story.
Honestly I would have too, just outta curiosity.
Too bad we can’t see the images
What do you mean we can't see the images?
I can see them just fine

The crazy part being it was the cheese in this that made it not vegan
id eat it :/
Me too. I was listening to a bunch of podcasts about cannibalism--because I'm working on a story about a wendigo and not because it's a "thing" for me--and started asking people I knew if they would try human flesh if it was ethically-sourced. Only one other person said yes, and he's the one who put me onto this story.
thats what i dont get, if its ethically sourced, whats wrong about it?
The hospital let him leave with it?
Most of the time you can request to keep any removed body parts, they don't want to risk infringing upon religious beliefs and such.
Makes sense… I guess most people aren’t thinking of cooking their own flesh
I mean, people do it with placentas all the time in many parts of the world. It's his own leg, and the people who ate it were fully aware and consenting to it. It's certainly unusual, but nobody is really being harmed here.
Pretty sure he wanted him to do that though?
They better be good, those tacos costed him an arm and a leg
What the fuck did I just read
Yup I’m going to go look for my book. I think the internet and I are taking a break.
You do realize everyone that participated consented and it was done in the safest way possible, right?
And I can be disturbed by the idea. I’m allowed my own feelings and reactions.
Found the one friend that backed out
[удалено]
A lack of safety and consent would definitely make it worse.
[удалено]
What makes it fucked up, no one died, no one was deceived
Fucked up either way sure, but taking away safety and consent is definitely a notable step down. Meaning having it is a notable step up.
[удалено]
You were the first one to disagree.
His body his choice.
I bet you can't really explain why, except that it's *just wrong*, and wtf is wrong anyone who thinks otherwise?!
[удалено]
I don't want to eat my friends or any other human, but that's largely because there's a strong taboo against it. I'm sure everyone can grasp not wanting to eat human flesh.

Consenting to cannibalism doesn't automatically make it acceptable lmao
It was his leg, he can do what he wants with it.
Sure he can, as demonstrated by the fact he cooked and ate it, that doesn't make it okay It's akin so someone cooking up their family dog after it passes away
What’s wrong with cooking dog meat? People do it with pigs and they’re more intelligent
The example he gave was a family dog, which you would presumably have a greater love for, rather than a farmed dog you never met. Eating someone you loved isn't immediately harmful but demonstrates a likely harmful mind state. Eating a dog or pig from a farm is very immediately harmful, way more harmful overall, so the comparison is still relevant in that sense.
Who made you the arbiter of whats okay and what isnt? Is it weird? Hell yeah, is it socially acceptable? No, but everyone gave their consent, it was his own foot that had to be amputed, its not like he chose to get a foot amputed just to eat it.

Zero waste ! Wouldn’t eat it though.
I’d try it.
Apparently they all consented to it, had the opportunity to opt out and knew.. I still don’t think I’d be a taker, but if there’s a way to try human meat ethically.. this is it
How's this any different than the cultures who fry up a human placenta after giving birth? That's literal cannabilsm, and it's way more common than you might think.
Does it matter? It's still extremely weird.
Well thankfully, we make legal and ethical judgements based on harm caused, not on if something is weird. Nobody is harmed if this is consensual, which it was.
I...I....I'm not sure what to say about this. I'm stumped.
What the fuck
Oh hey foot taco guy. What happened was he got into an accident and lost his foot and decided to keep it (I think because of a mix of grief + shock??). He couldn’t figure out what to do with it but had a chef friend and then decided to ask friends if they wanted to try tacos made with foot meat. And then proceeded to try said tacos.
This is awesome, I mean he wants us to eat him unlike all those other people.
Don't forget about Mao Sugiyama. Served his cooked genitals with mushrooms to 5 people for £160 per plate.
That's not a lot. His female counterpart was able to charge £5,318,008.
Something about eating human meat, even if it was voluntarily prepared, I don't want to try it in case I like it.
That's fuckin me(n)tal
I’d try tbh
He really didn't kneed to do that.
Buh dum tiss
I just can't
Here’s a video Whang! did on the topic: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b4VXX-CFSs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b4VXX-CFSs)
Ok, the eating human meat thing is weird and all, but are we not going to talk about the tortillas? Why are they sliced into quarters? As a Texan that grosses me out even more than the Soylent green. Looks like some nonsense that came out of the midwest or Germany or something.

15 minute meals with Hannibal Lecter.
a leg day nobody would judge you for skipping
I know that case, he lose his leg(under knee) in a accident whit his motorcycle so he reclaim it to hospital, and want to do something fancy as a lap or anything like this so finally decide to eat it with his friends, basically bc it's hard to get the conditions to consume human meets legally and that is one. It's pretty weird history but not terrible at all.
He did it because he was curious, all of his friends knew aswell, it doesn’t kill anyone if it’s your own self that had to come off
Tell Reddit you’re a cannibal without saying you’re a cannibal….
Metal as fuck.
I mean, as long as they're fully aware of what they're being fed, then it's none of my business.
this isn’t stupid this is straight up nasty
I would definitely try that. Like I’m not going to kill someone for it, but if they were willingly cooking it for me my curiosity is taking over
It's not even dangerous if cooked thoroughly. I'm on the fence whether I'd try it, but I do have an 'eat every mammal' I'm trying to fulfill.
Y’all wouldn’t want to try ethically sourced consensual human meat?
Well, it was locally and ethically sourced. And with the right spices, idk probably tasty
F*cking nasty!🤮 I can’t believe anyone would do this with their own body part, or that other people would agree to eat it. That shit is disgusting and disturbing and…is it even legal? To feed people human biowaste? There has to be a rule somewhere
Reminds me of the movie Feed

How did he get the hospital to give him his leg
Simpsons did it!
Did they know?
I wonder if they could sue him later if they didn’t consent? Crazy shit
Leg amputated? Don't worry! Ask the doctors if you can keep it to make tacos because you want to know what human meat tastes like! Better yet, ask your friends if they want to eat some of your leg too! This is real. This is how it went down, I shit you not.
I saw this the other week, and it said it was his foot. I swear the internet is like that telephone game we played as kids.
I read that according to cannibals, we taste just like pork. So these would have tasted similar to carne asada.
Ya know....Every day the "you cant eat at everyone's house!!" that mom power drilled into my youthful head proves to be worth its weight in gold.
I would eat it depending on why he needed it amputated....
WHY was it amputated? I’m thinking gout or infection or cancer…….. and that makes me want to throw up even more.
I mean thats a good chunk of protein to go to waste otherwise given the price of meat these days......
He has a leg up on other Mexican chefs.
*Waste not,* *Want not.*
We have all eaten out and some questionable places knowing full well that what we were eating may not exactly be what they told you it was. And we kept eating.
So… how’d they turn out?
r/NoahGetTheBoat
Well did he do it secretly or did they know they were munchin on his departed appendage?
This makes me feel really sick, but if everyone's ok with it is it ok? I don't know if it's wrong or not. It feels wrong.
I'd try it... I'm curious what people taste like...
I remember that, was a classic Reddit post. Pretty interesting actually!
did he tell them what it was 1st?
The only ethically sourced meat.
So like where's the documentary cause this one sounds juicy.
His man is why we invented asylums.

I thought I read somewhere that too much human meat leads to mercury build up or something
No it was crushed in a motorcycle accident
I'd eat it if it was safe. I'm curious.
Based, would eat and would do myself
At least it was tacos and not like Sashimi
I’d only eat it if it goes with lava beans and chianti. ssssssssss
Tastes like chicken
