I don’t think they purposely killed the child to eat it. I think the child might have died through natural causes or starvation and then out of desperation the others ate it after it had died. It has happened many times in dire survival situations.

The tough part was strapping them to the bumper and not have the car flip over.

Speaking of survival, Srednik highly recommends the book FOLLOW THE RIVER by Thoms, the escape from Shawnee captivity by Mary Ingals during the French and Indian War.

Neanderthals, maggots and democrats, what’s the difference, so they were cannibals.

Could be... or maybe Fear Factor got it from that episode where Riker was in the officer exchange and was given live gach to eat.

No-it was my choice-he never understood why I did that, because his sense of smell was not offended by the odors of kimchee or fish sauce-or any other food, no matter how smelly it was. Like many country people, I will eat just about anything fresh-brains w/scrambled eggs, barbacoa, menudo, grilled rattlesnake, mountain oysters, even most odoriferous cheese-but if it has a rotted/fermented smell, there is no way I’m touching it.
I almost offended a Japanese neighbor of mine when she gifted me with a container of homemade soybean curd. She explained that it was for spreading on crackers, etc, as I opened the container, she was explaining how many weeks it had been fermenting-the smell would have gagged a hungry raccoon-it was all I could do to not gag as I thanked her and replaced the lid. MrT5 ate the stuff-said it was delicious...

I like kim-chee, the fish sauce, not so much
