Biden spoke about his uncle, 2nd Lt Ambrose J Finnegan Jr, while campaigning in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, describing how “Uncle Bosie” had flown single engine planes as reconnaissance flights during the war. Biden said he “got shot down in New Guinea”, adding “they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea.”

Press Secretary, and professional liar, Karine Jean-Pierre squirms and attempts to shame journalists asking questions about Biden's latest episode of senile dementia:
According to Jared Diamond those people still run through their family trees to find a reason to NOT kill a stranger they happen to meet in the jungle.
I remember reading an article on the matter not that many years ago, and the tribals were lamenting that the missionaries didn't let them eat people any more (beyond possibly the "cultural and beautiful funerary rites" that involve eating a bit of Mom or Dad when they die), with the usual "but it tastes so GOOD" moan.
My morbid curiosity has made me wonder if human meat tastes really good lmao. Guess I'll never know because of those pesky white colonizers and their prohibitions against cannibalism.
It tastes something like pork. Cannibals keep diaries and recorded the taste. Sailors used to call it Long Pig.
In the highlands meat is pretty hard to get. The locals mostly eat taro and sweet potato, both of which are starchy root vegetables.
There is local meat in the jungle but it is mostly birds which are small and annoying to hunt.
The locals all raise pigs, which are expensive. Every family has a couple pigs, and they teach them to come when called for feeding.
Once or twice a year each family will kill their pig and have a party. Without refrigeration the pig must be eaten right away. Weddings are super expensive and involve a lot of pork.
As a result the locals are fairly protein starved. In the highlands they have been this way for evolutionary periods. It is to the point that they get sick if they eat too much meat.
When a stranger wanders in to a foreign territory, one of the first thigs that the locals think is: "Free protein!"
This has been slowly changing through access to canned meats (Spam, etc) and missionaries teaching such foreign concepts such as empathy and restraint.
Yes. It does taste good. Yes, it does taste like pork, which is their favorite food.
