It's not like you eat a chicken with the feathers on, or a lamb without taking the wool off first though. Why should human meat be treated any differently in terms of preparation?

Would you eat you own limbs to survive?

That's be counter productive in the long run IMO.

However you'd usually skin a meat source prior to consumption.
Or have you jumped a bit here and assumed that cannibalism is only going to take place where one does not have access to even basic cooking utensils?

you start killing one person to eat, you're gonna start killing everybody though. until there's only one survivor..and then you'd probably die anyways, but this time you're alone which sucks. give me another kind, like minded human and we'll just die together..
Yeah, I guess if your imaging this as a scenario where there is no escape then your right. Im a massive optimist tho

Human skin isn't that thick.
Our teeth are fairly strong.
Human flesh is not strong enough.

Fair enough. Interesting how you've worked your own caveats into an otherwise open ended scenario

I checked the IMDB page to see if you were referencing what I thought you were referencing

hindsight, you could survive by eating humans, and use their bones/skin as a source of warmth etc, a bit like the Indians/Mongolians etc used to do, use every part and don't let anything go to waste
well they didn't use humans but you know what I mean

Yep, eat human if the human wasnt killed to be eaten.
C'mon then wub, we know you love a controversial topic without actually contributing haha, what you saying?

The skin shouldn't be too much problem if you cook it slowly enough - once the person's been dead a little while it'll start sagging off anyway, like raw chicken or pork... probably need a half decent machete to make some scores in it so you can pull it apart once it's been cooked a bit. Maybe leave a couple of layers on so you get some crackling if you're going to roast your manjoint.
I'm not sure our limbs would be particularly tasty, but if you happen to find someone with a generously sized derierre you could probably hack it up and make it into a pretty nice Asserole.
May have been overthinking this.

Have you never bitten anyone?
I bit my cousin on the hand when he started fighting with me.
I must have been 8 or so but I still punctured his skin and left pretty good teeth marks on his hand.

Before fully commiting myself to cannibalism i'd maybe try a small sample of myself, a toe or a finger or something, just so I can get a taste for it

Yeah, it wouldn't be too much of a problem. Our skin's nowhere near as tough as pigs, tbh.
I reckon Neck might be a good cut actually.... especially one of those protein-shake fed muscle-necks you see walking around gyms. Make a stock using the head and then slowcook the neck in it with some rosemary, bay leaves and mixed berries.

I voted as soon as I created it - yes.
Wouldn't give it a second thought. Not sure re; the killing aspect, my instincts say yes but you're never sure about killing someone until the opportunity is right in front of you.

Rump or thigh would be the best IMO
