There is a campaign on to inform The Aliens
that Canadians are tastier than Americans so
that when they (The Aliens) land they will
eat the Canadians first.
Canadian bacon is delicious!

Well, scary though this is (and I don't think I'll be eating rashers ever again) this info could come in handy for a fanfic. I mean, it would be a damn weird fanfic, but it would fit in with the darker side of the 'verse.

There's a line about eating 'long pig' in PoTC II...
And there have been some scary stories out of China about 'wind-dried rabbit', too. They have a lot of unwanted baby girls out there...(Early 70's, a couple were prosecuted for this.)

I've always heard that pig flesh is most similar to human flesh in it's make up and there are places where Forensic Scientists study the decomposition of pigs/corpses as a way of learning about identifying the age of a decomposing corpse... sorry that's pretty grose - but I remember that there is a farm in England somewhere that has pigs burried in blankets, covered by leaf litter, burried at different depths, frozen, placed in vats of acid etc. etc. it provides an invaluable resource when a body is discovered. By comparing the circumstances in which the body was found the forensic team can compare it to information on the 'pig farm' to work out approximate time the corpse has been there etc... Gruesome but fascinating.
Is it just me or does the 'vomit emote' grose you out more than this conversation...???

Edit: coz I just remembered that from time to time people survive in the wild for months and end up having to eat their dead companions who didn't survive whatever led them to be surviving in the wilderness. I have read that human flesh - if cooked - tastes a lot like pork... something to do with the fat content and .... never mind...

yes, saw that.... the wild pig (feral hog) population is on the increase in many parts of the southern united states - i know they are a real nuisance in this part of texas - you do not want to get between a sow and her babies - they are quite vicious.
here's something i found about the little porkers...
Dispeller of pig ignorance
Paul Nettleton meets naturalist Lyall Watson, who has penned a new book about his favourite animal
Thursday October 14, 2004
The Guardian
Lyall Watson is in London to talk about pigs. His mission, at his publisher's Dickensian rookery in Hatton Garden, is to persuade scientists that they've been neglecting the other candidate for man's best friend..........
Watson, million-selling author of Supernature, a 70s student essential that tried to explain supernatural phenomena in biological terms,........
Pigs, says Watson, are not what you expect, ever. "If you're looking at a pig, a big pig preferably, at close quarters, what you see is liveliness and intelligence for which you are just not prepared ... There's something behind the eyes of all of them which is much more primate than it is ungulate......
After the insectivores that got under feet of dinosaurs, two basic plans for mammalian living emerged: carnivory and herbivory. But meat-eating foxes, for example, often eat fruit and many animals we thought purely vegetarian, such as gorillas, readily eat meat. But animals that eat anything - bears, badgers, raccoons - found plenty of niches: "Pigs are classics of that kind. They'll eat absolutely anything, even bacon or each other or humans"
