Reddit user IncrediblyShinShart said he is sharing his story after the experience changed his views on cannibalism.

He said he was in a motorcycle accident two years ago that resulted in a gruesome compound fracture in his left foot.

It was so bad that he would never be able to walk on it again.

And so, he elected to have his foot amputated.

But it’s what happened next that has people freaking out.

“I asked the doctors to keep it,” the mystery bloke wrote in the viral Reddit post.

“I signed some papers.

“I got it back, and with the help of some friends cooked a portion of the tibialis anterior.”

The man had originally wanted to use the foot as a lamp or doorstop.

But three weeks after the accident, the anonymous man invited 10 of his most open-minded friends to a special meal.

It meal consisted of apple strudel, quiche puff pastries, fruit tarts and chocolate cake.

They sipped on gin lemonade punches and mimosas.

And their main course consisted of fajita tacos made from the severed foot.

When asked how it tasted, he replied: “This particular cut was super beefy. It had a very pronounced, beefy flavour to it.

“The muscle I cut was tough and chewy. It tasted good.”

Thousands of users were quick to express their horror.

One simply wrote: “OMG”..

Another said: “I wish I could unread this”.

Speaking this week, the man said eating his own foot changed the way he feels about cannibalism.

He added: “It has a stigma. It’s associated with cultures that aren’t perceived as civilised, or situations where people are forced into it to survive. They see it as barbaric, so they wonder why I would go out and do it on a whim.

“But people eat the placenta after a child is born. That’s cannibalism, I don’t see any way around it.

“I think you can ethically be a cannibal in certain situations. I don’t have some hunger to go hunt people down and gnaw off their faces. This was one experience where I had the chance to do something unique in a healthy and ethical manner. I did it and it was fun and cool, and I have a great story.

“What I did was technically not illegal. I didn’t sell it.

"I didn’t give it to people without their consent. It was mine.”
