So as not to fail in making his report he bribed the guy at the Sarbonne -- but for many years pretended that he'd eaten with the cannibals and kept the true source a secret.Gothica Gothique Goth Bloghttp://emporiumgothica.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594156604382151139.post-55790947160747818572008-06-23T11:33:00.000-07:002008-06-23T11:33:00.000-07:00OK, sorry for the miscommunication.

It's just icky to me. <BR/>I've heard of "Keep the River on Your Right," but never in terms of cannibalism ... always instead in terms of how much documentary filmmakers should allow themselves to get involved with their subjects—it seems he actually became part of the tribe for a while, romance, hunting, eating, etc. I'll have to look into the cannibalistic angles—albeit carefully, I'm a little queasy about such things.Jessica Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13134277281082757857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594156604382151139.post-82404148956714160222008-06-21T14:34:00.000-07:002008-06-21T14:34:00.000-07:00Let's get this straight toots...I don't WANT to ea...Let's get this straight toots...I don't WANT to eat human flesh. i just think its a tremendous wastes of meat to just burn it or throw it out or chemically taint it and bury it. <BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure I've heard of this fella somewhere before. I can remember hearing a version of this story as a kid. <BR/><BR/>I remember hearing several different accounts of supposed explorers in the Congo where native tribesmen described the taste of the meat as being like "bush pig". I've heard it described as being pork like in several different accounts.<BR/><BR/>If you don't know the story of Tobias Schneebaum already, you should check him out on Wikipedia. He wrote a famous book, called, "Kepp the River On Your Right". The film about him, by the same name is good, as well. He lived with a tribe of sometimes cannibals in Peru, and ate of the forbidden flesh. Its an incredible account.Shai W. Thanatoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436733224109692735noreply@blogger.com
