Read James Fraser's "The Golden Bough." He's got quite a few examples of cannibalism among the North American Indians. The one that sticks in my mind concerns a missionary whose skin was slit open and pieces of fat inserted inside the slits, to keep him well-basted during the cooking process. He managed to escape, and lived for a number of days on the pieces of fat.

Oh yech! That's one book I'm never going to read.

The Golden Bough ***Oh yech! That's one book I'm never going to read.**

Actually it is a very interesting book, especially the chapter on becoming a priest of Attis!
