- Man serves his friends tacos with meat from his own amputated leg
- A severe motorcycle caused his leg to be amputated so he used it as a ‘joke’ to friends who visited him
Just thinking about eating human meat may make us all feel disgusted and some might even barf, but imagine it actually happening.
Well, this man did it to some of his friends. And it was not any other meat from random people, it was from his own amputated leg that was caused by a severe motorcycle accident.
The man, who remained to be anonymous, stated that about two years ago, he was hit on his motorcycle so badly, that it damaged his foot and he would never be able to walk on it so he decided to have it amputated.
When the leg was removed and he got it back, he decided to cook taco meat with it.
Why, you ask? He stated that he and his friends always had this joke wherein they would ask each other that if you can eat human meat in an ethical and health way, would they? So the opportunity came and he decided to act on it.
He took off 2-3oz of meat from his leg, cooked it, and served it to his close friends. When he revealed the dark truth to his visitors, he said that one black out and there were a lot hoping that he was joking.
“10 of my friends joined in for a brunch. Only the foot was damaged, but with below the knee amputations the want to do it higher up so there is a balance between having enough stump to make for a good lever and having enough room beneath for prosthetic equipment. If they amputated low it would make it difficult to put good hardware underneath.”
When he was asked how it tasted, he answered that he would give it a “solid 6.5”.
“Keep in mind that I have had a lot of good food. So it’s way better that a hot dog or regular burger. Maybe equal with regular bacon, which is pretty decent. But no where near as good as butter seared sea scallops or a rare sous vide tenderloin seared in grape seed oil in a cast iron pan.
It was from a healthy part of the amputation, I’m a healthy person, waste not want not, and they [my friends] all consented. As far as I know they are all still cool with it. Its a fun weird thing.”
