Beefy

I've been pondering over a question. We all know that meat from a cow is called beef and from a pig it's pork, bacon and ham and a chicken is just chicken, but what would human meat be called? Cannibals somewhere in the world must have a name for it.

As much as that is a thought provoking question...I have no answer and I don't think I'd want to know...:rolleyes:

hmm...no idea.. I think they'd just make up a word and the best sounding one would stick. I mean I figure that's what happened with the other meat "names"...otherwise how do you explain "beef" being the name for cow-meat? or pork or ham from "pig meat'? just doesn't make sense. silly world! ;o)
