It certainly doesn't taste of Chicken! Although often said to taste like Pork, it was famed explorer of the 1920's, William Seabrook that truly told us what it's like.

Camping out with a cannibalistic tribe in Africa, he recalls how when cooked, human flesh turned grey and smelt of beef. He described it as;

"It was like good, fully developed veal, not young, but not yet beef. "

William Seabrook was an odd one! His many dark explorations include traveling to Haiti to uncover the voodoo zombies and was said to carry a suitcase of whips and chains wherever he traveled.
