I'm curious. Why do you suspect you might hesitate to sample it? Is it
still a cultural issue, like it might be for me? Do you suspect there
might be some part of your psyche that still believes it would be like
eating "people", like in the classic film, Soylent Green? I suspect it
would be for me.  For you, I assume it not an issue of taste since
we've all been told since childhood that "long-pig" tastes like pork.

...Not chicken.

I wonder if our species might have acquired a genetic predisposition
NOT to eat our own kind unless there are no other options left for
getting protein. Evolution wise, I wonder if it played out that eating
your own species on a regular basis turned out to be, more often than
not, destabilizing to the overall cohesiveness of the group. I could
buy that as a rationalization.
