BORDEAUX—Mealtime in Gough’s cave in Somerset, England, 14,700 years ago, was not for the faint of heart. Humans were on the menu, for consumption by their own kind. Anthropologists have long studied evidence for cannibalism in the human fossil record, but establishing that it occurred and ascertaining why people ate each other have proved difficult tasks. A new analysis provides fresh insights into the human defleshing that occurred at this site and what motivated it—and hints that cannibalism may have been more common in prehistory than previously thought....

The liberals believe that our planet can only support 30 million people, so many of us are going to have to die. Why let all that meat go to waste? My God, the liberals are trying to show that anything is fine if it supports their plans.
“Yes they were eating people, but only as the second course.”
One of the big problems with liberals is their inability to see how their plans could affect them personally. What if we decided you should die to reach that 30 million goal? What if we decided to kill and eat you because you are weaker and tastier?
“That would never happen because I’m smarter and everyone would see how important I am.”
Just like the Khmer Rouge. They thought a lot of those Cambodian intellectuals when they were putting plastic bags over their heads.
If this continues I could see the audience turning into a mob and storming the Freeper servers.
Until we find out Her Majesty, the Queen, is reading this thread.
Dude.
Also found in the cave were bath salts residues...
Why does that leave out cannibalism? After all they clean their food before they eat it and I understand it actually tastes fairly decent.
Not in just prehistoric Britain. In Scotland there was also the notorious Christie-Cleek, of the 14th century, and the much better known Sawney Beane and family, of the 15th- or 16th-century.

If TSHTF, I plan on posting the following sign in my suburban community:
"Looters will be used for dog food"
I also discovered a trick when making pickled beets, I put in some hard boiled eggs, which normally turn a uniform dark red and are delicious. But this time, one of them I put in "tea egg style", somewhat cracking the shell but leaving it on.
Imagine eggs that looked like this, but with red, instead of brown, 'veins':
I’m going
to be sick - ;o)
Is that balut eggs?
Alfred Packer was not associated with the Donner Party. He took his meals in Southern Colorado.
Nothing wrong with a meal of LONG PIG.
;)
I got the joke. ;-)
So what you’re saying is that their food has always been horrible.
Actually, tea eggs are ordinary hard boiled chicken eggs, quite tasty if made properly, with soy sauce, black tea, star anise, cinnamon, salt, with peppercorns and mandarin orange peel optional. Some use a little five spice powder for a similar taste.
The interesting appearance gives them an “Martian” look.
However, pickled beets are, in my opinion, much yummier, and I grew up thinking beets tasted great. They are pickled with onion, pickling spice, sea salt, sugar, black pepper, and bay leaf, covered by a 50/50 solution of cider vinegar and water. Then they need to steep, refrigerated, a couple of weeks, along with peeled hard boiled chicken eggs.
It seems something of a waste to just put cracked shell hard boiled eggs in there for just a couple of days to get the red veined look, but it would make an interesting display at a Halloween party. And it would be fun to see if you could tease someone into eating them. Otherwise, fully steeped pickled eggs, when sliced, make great decor around a salad and go well with most any salad dressing.
I thought English food was just awful and hence why they have bad teeth.
Well at least Kate Middleton is easy on the eyes. :P
