   Hey, I’m ready for it. At least, I have a cookbook with a chapter on cannibalism.It’s The Grub Bag, by Ita Jones, published in 1971 and described as "An underground cookbook. The practical, philosophical and political aspects of food – with recipes and metaphysics."The chapter on cannibalism ("cannibalism: sacred swallows") ends with, "I offer up no recipes. Most people nowadays aren’t fit to eat."

   The problem is that the fat (succulent) folks are packing the wrong kind of fat.

   Subcutaneous adipose tissue is dandy for rendering, but if I’m going to cook someone I’m going to require intramuscular fat marbling.

   A hearty red, preferably a Zinfadel, to accompany, and a selection of ripe cheeses for afters.

   Pinky,
    
   At the risk of groans, you seem to have picked the wrong wine and side dish – it’s supposed to be fava beans and a nice Chianti!

   I tried a vegan diet once. They’re stringy and hard to catch.

   Gaius -
    
   Yeah, but I’m thinkin’, "Such sweet irony …"  Heh!
    
   Besides, not so hard to catch.  You just place a pair of  Birkenstock sandals near a deeply dug pit covered with brightly colored Indian cotton gauze …
