INTERN ADVENTURES: Cannibalism without the guilt

By Julie Holt on November 15, 2010

HUMAN FLESH WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF RUFIES AND A KILL-KIT>>>

Apparently a company called HUFU has been offering a "healthy human flesh alternative" since 2005. This was news to me. The human tofu is shaped like curled up sausages and according to HUFU CEO Mark Nuckols, it tastes a lot like beef.

Already checked off on my list of "creepy things I've eaten":  alligator, rattlesnake and horse. Human flesh, however, is nowhere to be found ...

* Also, while on a trip to Tokyo I ate an entire bird head. Only later did I learn it was only meant for decoration and my Japanese dinner companions were too "polite" to say anything. WTF?

So, despite the fact I'll eat pretty much anything, the taste of human flesh has long eluded me. And now with my discovery of HUFU, not to mention the previous restraints of morality, legality, and Kuru disease flung to the breeze, it seemed like game on.  

Unfortunately ... just like every time I've attempted cannibalism, things just didn't work out.

The Hufu website is inaccessible and even snopes.com calls the entire thing a hoax.    

So, what's a girl with the palate for the bizarre to do? Hmmm.. Montana's 2011 Testy Festy is coming up soon. I think I smell a road trip!
