Breakfast Discussion: Interview with a cannibal “Human flesh tastes like pork” [The More You Know]

In his first televised interview, German convicted cannibal Armin Meiwes describes how describes the taste of human meat and his experience first tasting bits of his fellow man. Sadly, the TV interview is scheduled for Monday, in Germany, but bits of the conversation are below.

Miewes was convicted for killing and eating a man who begged to be devoured, has described how the meat tasted of pork and how he prepared an elaborate meal of human steak in a green pepper sauce with croquettes and Brussels sprouts.

“I sauteed the steak of Bernd, with salt, pepper, garlic and nutmeg. I had it with Princess croquettes, Brussels sprouts and a green pepper sauce,” said Meiwes. He said the meat was a little tough. He froze meal-sized portions of Brandes, some in the form of minced meat, and ate more than 20 kilograms of it in the months following the March 2001 killing.

“The flesh tastes like pork, a little bit more bitter, stronger. It tastes quite good,” he said.
He said that when he was a child, he had enjoyed his mother reading him the fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel,” about a witch who traps two children and prepares to eat the boy. “The bit where Hansel is to be eaten was interesting. You wouldn’t believe how many Hansels are whizzing around the Internet.”

So the question is… what’s the best recipe for human flesh? The salt, pepper and nutmeg combination sounds nummy, but I’m awful with cooking steak, so I would probably just chop the shit up into stew beef and cook it in a pot of the guy’s piss. Because if you’re gonna go fucking crazy and eat someone, you might as well eat a stew of his piss– you know, using all parts of the animal and that shit. And make a smart hat out of his bladder while you’re at it. What the hell. Then at least you have something to show for it. Hmmm, all this talk is making me hungry for a sausage biscuit. BRB.
