No, no. You completely forgot about the Bantu women. More flesh on the bone and not as tough. Compared to the Bantus, the Watusis aren't even fit for a Hutu!

ah, yes. The "Custom of the Sea".

The survivors of the whale ship Essex never really recovered, mentally.

mt.. I believe that the difference that we are searching for here is the difference between, in the case of the donner party and a few other anomolies, and africa is.... The difference between having absolutely no choice other than eating your dead or starving to death happening so very few times throught history as to be world famous as opposed to.....

killing and eating your friends, enemies and relatives as a matter of course for all of recorded time on up till present day. An acepted part of a particular region and races "culture". Slavery would fall into this category also except that all cultures practiced slavery and then quit while only a few continue with this practice in modern times. Not counting cubicles and office work in general.

Hortlund, the Donner party were a group of settlers who were snowed in during their trek over the Sierra Nevada Mts. near Tahoe. The pass through those Mts. now is still called Donner Pass. To keep themselves from starving to death they ate grandpa.

and grandma

and uncle joe

etc.....http://www.lumarmall.com/donninfo.htm

Why are people arguing about the fact this happend in africa, are you trying to make some racial point here mt? I see nothing wrong in calling this thread "African Canibals", first it's clear there was canibalism involed, its made clear this was an unusual case due to consireations of war tactics or intimidation and it cleary took place on the continent of Africa.

GRUN and Lazs,

I thought my posts were pretty clearly tongue in cheek.

Save Pygmies from extinction! Invade Africa!!!!

I did not get that impression mt. Especially with the comment: " Ever heard the Donner Party described as "European Cannibals"? "

In college speech class I did a report on the book "ALIVE" by Piers Paul Ried, I believe is the author's name. It was about the Andes survivors (a Chilean soccer team IIRC), and how they survived.

Some were able to eat the frozen meat, after warming in the sun, some couldn't keep it down. The ones who couldn't eat it, died.
(And were eaten) The survivors, some of whom were pre-med students knew enough to crack open bones for the marrow and savor organ meats like the liver for their vitamin content. After time, they began to relish the meat, with mouths watering in anticipation of their ration of it.

To prepare for this assignment, I fasted for three days while reading the book, doing research and writing my matierial to present before the class.

The questions after my presentation kept me at the podium for 20 minutes. I got an A+ on the assignment.

They were a Rugby team.

I read that book when I was 10 years old...it gave me a recurring nightmare I will never forget...gives me the hibbie gibbies just thinking about it.

Havent you guys seen that movie? Its one of the best movies Ive ever seen (But that is mainly due to John Malcovich doing the best intro to a movie ever. He's one of my favourite actors, and in the beginning of the movie he just sits on a chair talking to the camera..."I met God on that mountain..." one of the best scenes ever. Its something about his voice, cant put my finger on it though, but he always does great monolouges in his movies.)
