In a starvation situation, you would eat whatever you can get your hands on, cooked or not.
Two popular media items come to mind:
1) James Clavell’s novel of Allied POW’s held by the Japanense in WWII. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Rat_(Clavell_novel)
2) Dave Alvin’s “Andersonville” song, about Yankee prisoners in the Civil War Rebel prison camp in Andersonville, GA. Beautiful song, by the way, both the Acoustic version and the Studio version.

“.....My uniform has faded
And there’s no boots upon my feet
I’m pulling worms out of the mud
‘Cause there’s nothing left to eat
And the rebs can’t even feed their own
So there’s no way they can fill
The bellies of the Yankees
Starving in Andersonville.....”
Someone in the family tree survived Andersonville
As it happens, I live in an area where finding food is not a problem.
