The most common types of meat people eat in the world include chicken, pork and beef. And some people like to taste the food of other animals in addition to this and know the flavors of that meat. But have you ever wanted to taste the flesh?
Today we are going to talk about a few people who ate corpse meat in this way and the details they gave about the taste.
As mentioned recently, a 20-year-old girl named Paula Gonu from Spain has admitted that she cooked a part of her knee and ate it with spaghetti Bolognese.
Now let's go to the beginning.
In the 1920s, American adventurer William Buehler Seabrook began to provide detailed accounts of cannibal societies.
Accordingly, when he met the Guero people of West Africa, he even managed to taste them. He later mentioned those experiences through his book "Jungle Ways" published in 1931.
He says that these raw meats look like beef, but they are less red, paler and fatter. He also mentions that they turned gray after cooking and smelled like beef.
He wrote about the taste of venison that they were almost like good veal and that people with normal taste could not tell the difference between veal and venison.
But this report of Seabrook is considered unbelievable by many people. This was accompanied by a later confession that the Guero tribe did not allow him to participate in their tradition.
However, in the end, he has stated that to make up for his disappointment, he took a piece of meat from the body of a dead patient in a French hospital and ate it.
German butcher Armin Meiwes said that venison was like pork, but a bit bitter and strong, while Japanese butcher Issei Sagawa noted that it was as soft and tender as tuna and melted in the mouth.

Russian cannibal Vladimir Nikolayevich Nikolaev's statement last year about eating cannibals for the first time in 1997.
Vladmir had an argument with a man near the door of his building, beat him to death and then dismembered his body.
After removing the man's head and limbs, he realizes that there is no obstacle to his desire to eat that man's flesh.
"Suddenly something happened to me, I wanted to try him. Then I cut a piece of meat from his thigh and boiled it," Vladimir told National Geographic.
Vladmir has also been accused of selling 5kg of carcass meat in an open market, claiming it to be kangaroo meat.
He was eventually caught after a woman ate meat that tasted unusual and took it to a doctor who, after examination, found human blood in it.
In 2019, Swedish scientist Professor Magnus S?derlund suggested that in the event of future food shortages, carcasses would be more useful than dairying or eating insects.
Since dead meat is prohibited, after several legitimate scientific studies, scientists have discovered the true taste of dead meat.
Accordingly, it is said that venison is rich in the highly pigmented protein myoglobin, so it fits the general definition of beef.
