Cannibalism was: [Sca-cooks] Aging of meat

[agora at algonet.se]

The man-eater myth is an old myth but it's not scientifically confirmed cannibalism 
was widespread. It's true than cannibalism was used in case of famines and in other 
exceptional circumstances, as the Crusaders, where an army of 100000 people 
needed food. They slaughtered Muslim babies and they used the meat as salt meat.
I am still working with my old project, "The Cruel Cookbook", where I write several 
things about cannibalism.
I have a big reference library too, with a lot of books on these parrticular topic, tell 
me if someone want a list of books.

PS: And the Eucharisty is a good example or ritual cannibalism.
