Lost my appetit for Italian cold cuts, especially prescuitto

[eyeboy]

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.

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!!

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

 

Stop playing with your food

I used to love me some proscuitto.  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. 

...fixed it for ya...

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

[Bun-bun]

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

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.

I suspect IZ's photographic technique might indicate some advanced symptoms of CJD already... Blurred vision, Lack of coordination, Muscle twitching, Myoclonic jerks or seizures...

Myoclonic jerks

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