My first thought was Scrappleface. ;o)
No fair.
You know that I can't think when you wink at me.
:-P
I think Methodists would leave a bad aftertaste - today’s versions anyway.
You burp .. I prefer to slurp
Details, details.
Ever read The Peace Child?
It’s written by a missionary who went into New Guinea and worked among the cannibalistic Sawi tribespeople. Fascinating book.

The other white meat.
Seriously, my brother was a missionary in Brazil circa mid ‘50s.
There were still headhunters and cannibals in the Amazon then.
The favorite part of a human? Palm of the hand. Tastes similar to pork.
I’ll need to read that! I saw a program about that ship and its crew on TV once. Verrrry interesting.
In a letter to the general secretary of the London Missionary Society he wrote: "The natives respect us more than they did, and as they all acknowledge the justice of our cause they bear us no ill will."
But the reprisals attracted fierce criticism from the press, particularly in Australia.
The Australian newspaper said: "If missionary enterprise in such an island as this leads to wars of vengeance, which may readily develop into wars of extermination, the question may be raised whether it may not be better to withdraw the mission from savages who show so little appreciation of its benefits."
However, an official investigation by British colonial authorities a year later exonerated Rev Brown.
A good lesson for what we're going through today with muslims, with the obligatory handwringing from the press.
To have them eat a highly "cholesterolized" Rosie would be cruel and highly unusual............even for a cannibal.
Hannibal Lecter would be hard pressed to find any Chianti that could make such a meal palatable. Probably best would be Mad Dog.
I’ve never told this story to anyone, but my grandfather went native there before he returned to Europe to hang out with the Dadaists, Tristan Tsara, even Lenin in Zurich. (He was an atheist.) He was perfectly lucid when he recounted, with some embarassment, that Methodists did indeed tasted better than members of other Protestant heresies.
Well, Methodists are sweet. If they had eaten a Baptist, they’d have developed dyspepsia and sworn off the ‘long pig’ forever.
A good friend (now deceased) of mine flew the second group od misionaries into this tribe and they weren’t eaten since they worshop birds and their arriving in a chopper made them equivelant to god.
He brought back a number of artifacts, including the pot that the first ones were boiled in, and if they are still there he donaated most of them to a museum in San Francisco.
It’s a real long wild story on his trip into this tribe which i won’t go into, who had never seen anyone from the outside world except the 2 missionaries that they boiled and shrunk their heads.
It's amazing the stories us FReepers have.
There’s a similar one I’ve heard:
A tourist was passing by the market in a cannibal village, where he saw a sign advertising “Human Brains for Sale”. Intrigued, he looked at the display, and saw that American brains were priced at $2.00 a pound, British brains at $3.00 a pound, and French brains at $100.00 a pound.
Curious about the price for French brains, he asked the butcher “Why do French brains cost so much more? Do they taste that much better?”
To which the butcher replied “No, they taste the same. But do you know how many Frenchmen you have to kill to get one pound of brains?”
I hear monkey tastes a lot like human
Hey, wow, I think I quoted a different part of the same AS piece not long ago...
;’)
Along that same line...
Q: What did the cannibal do after he dumped his girlfriend?
A: He wiped...
Eathing s/b Eating.
