Cannibalism was not uncommon in the new world. Bernal Diaz del Castillo wrote that the Aztec emperor Cuauhtemoc threatened to eat Cortez with mole, which was apparently the preferred sauce to accompany human flesh.

I believe Amerigo Vespucci mentioned cannibalism among the South American Indians.

Some years ago I saw a film called How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman, about a Frenchman who was shipwrecked on the coast of Brazil in the 16th century, kept for a year by the Indians of the area, who then had a feast where they killed him and ate him. Local custom.

They were quite friendly to him during the course of the year (he is aware of their plans for him). At one point one of the pretty young women of the tribe has sex with him. So at least he was laid before he was sauteed.
