Ducati Monster Forum

I used to love me some prescuitto.  I'd always have some fresh cut in the fridge.  Then my girlfriend and I went to see the Body Worlds exhibit at the local museum. 

and i guess those preserved bodies looked eerily like precuitto.......im sure Anthony Hopkins agrees.

I wish I could afford to keep some in my fridge. delicious  [thumbsup] So if you cant' stomach it anymore, ship it out to me!

saw the show


cant eat grapes now

I've never been to that exhibit, but I did have some issues after I had to move some cadavers at my wife’s medical school.

Meat is Meat

My wife was just telling me that they used bodies they didn't have permission to use for that exhibit.

I'd still love to see it in person but that would suck if I found out that was a family member or friend all cut up.   :-\

how exactly do you get permission from a dead guy?

I saw the exhibit, the bodies are all volunteers.  The guy who made it has his best friend in it, who also requested to be in it.  He also hopes one day to become part of it when he dies.

Since I saw it, held brain, liver, heart, and lungs, I want steak more than ever  [evil]

What did you think was in us before you saw this exhibit while munching on prosciutto?


Would you eat human?  Illegality aside of course.

We can't possibly taste good.
Although with our soft easy lifestyles and high fat content we might have a lot in common with Kobe beef.

eat me

Don't knock us till you try us


Don't tempt mother, we still don't know if he's a cannibal
Don't tempt IZ either, he came out in the other thread

Yep

it wouldn't be a first choice obviously

but if the opportunity presented itself

and it was kill and eat human or starve to death

you better hope you are faster than me

cuz I'm turning you into breakfast

Well of course the human survival argument, but what about not to survive and just as a meal?

You'd waste a lot of time pondering the situation, meanwhile I'd be looking for a pot big enough to fit your fat ass in.  [laugh]

as in offered up as an option in some freaky country where that shit is OK?

yes

I would have to try a bite

twisted and immoral

yes

but the curiosity would eat at you...so to speak

strange though

I would want a little background on the person

make sure I was eating a good person... :-\

You freak!  I agree completely, the curiosity would get me. I had horse steak in France because it was available and I had to try.  I would be more concerned about the diet of the person I was eating.

Some friend of mine who studies philosophy told me cannibalism causes dementia on modern humans.

Maybe I've already eaten people then and just don't recall.

 [laugh]

from what i understand, there are two exhibits touring the planet under the title "bodies." one is done by a group of europeans using volunteers, while the other was done by a group of asian scientists using bodies that they didn't have permission to use. the latter was in pittsburgh a few months ago.

I wonder though

at the moment of truth

would there be some kind of inherent reaction that would stop you from doing it?

instant N/V or some such

Say, that reminds me. Anyone see the movie "Anatomie" w/Franke Potente?

I didn't see the Bodyworld exhibit when it was in town, I was slightly creeped out by it.

At work we got to go through the bodyworlds exhibit with our physician advisor

pretty interesting

it's too bad that an exhibit like that isn't available for A&P classes

That's what I thought also.  This was just in the news 2 days ago.

It is at my school.

It's called the cadaver lab.

the cadaver lab isn't as well put together

and it is a different experience with the bodies in poses vs. laying on the slab

GO MEAT!!!!  [clap]

But when they're in poses, you don't get to stick your fingers in them.

 [evil]

there is a trendy place around the corner here that has several horse-meat dishes... the horse-carpaccio was actually pretty good.

i don't see what the deal is with eating horse... it's meat. i ate a very small chicken embryo thingie on a stick once in china, and the french love their pigs-feet. my girl had a pig-knuckle (at a place called 'au pied du cochon', lol) and it was pretty damn good. and we all eat mcdonalds, god knows what that is made from, soylent green maybe?

so, GO MEAT!!

...fixed it for ya...

altho, presciutto is a slang roman term, so...its good for me :)

MMMmmm,

Proscuitto

Peperoncini

Sorpressata

And, of course,

Bacon!

HAHA my wife wanted to see it and I didn't for exactly that reason..... well that and I used to be on a FD and I've already seen enough of the human body to last me.... well, forever. Mmmmmmm soylent green yum, yum!  [cheeky]

I saw it when it first came to NYC on opening day, and if you still have your ticket, you can get a refund for it. I kept the ticket for other reasons, but...


Mother, i suggest you ordering from this site, i am a regualr customer and can get you 10% of  [wine] tell them the he man sent you since their website has been taken down by anti man beef activist.  ;)

...so disappointing

ABC documentary about where the bodies come from.  Very interesting imo.  Warning:  Long and may be graphic/nsfw for some:  http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=4317227     [popcorn]

I have no qualms with odd meat. I eat horsemeat regularly (it's cheap), I love squid and octopus, pigs feet are yummy, so are oreilles de crisse (literally "Christ's ears", deep fried pork cheeks). I'll try anything other than insects.

The way I see it, if you traveled to a theoretical nation where cannibalism was "legal" and common, but practiced in a non-violent manner (they eat people who have died, not murdered), would it really be immoral? In the context of that nation, it would not be a moral issue. In fact some groups practiced it as a sort of commemoration to the dead, a way to honour them in a funeral service (which created health issues because some of them died from contagious disease and would be eaten anyway). In such a context I'd happily try it - but I sure as hell wouldn't say I did in a Western society, because I would be viewed as evil and immoral in the context of their definition of morality. Always remember the narrow definition of morality that we hold, and how it shifts according to where you are. Even going from the US to Canada or vice versa produces vast changes in "moral" ideals.

I lost that sort of squeamishness when I was taking gross anatomy. My wife used to meet me in the lab for lunch, since she started out with less squeamishness than I did.

The hardest thing to get over was the smell during surgery when the electrocautery knife was used on rectus abdominis muscles. It smells EXACTLY like fajitas. It's creepy to find your mouth involuntarily watering at the smell of another person cooking.

It would certainly be extremely unwise. That's a good way to contract a spongiform encephalopathy, which is very much a "not want" disease. Think kuru, CJD, nvCJD, etc.

The smell from the bovie always made me hungry....

damn.. I hungry... Roomie's cooking right now.

To bad these Japanese ovens are soo small.

I suspect IZ's photographic technique might indicate some advanced symptoms (http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/000788sym.htm) of CJD already... Blurred vision, Lack of coordination, Muscle twitching, Myoclonic jerks or seizures...

 [evil]

big

Well, as long as you're calling HIM a myoclonic jerk and not me...

Interesting. I saw that exhibit and did go grab a sub afterwards. Never made the connection.




 ;D

All this talk is making me hungry.

Thpt thpt thpt thpt thpt.
