I have just finished Hans Askenasy's book Cannibalism: from sacrifice to survival and found it fascinating. Some forms of cannibalism -- especially those wherein a relative is eaten -- would seem to be simply a mark of familial respect, whereas those in which an honored companion is consumed as a mark of respect seem downright eat-a-pal.





No, damnit, I'm not sorry!
