Poll of the Day > Would human belly fry up like pork belly?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've heard cannibals often compare human meat to pork, so I was curious if it would render the same and get that nice crispy crunch if you fry it right. Anyone here with more experience know the answer?

I doubt it, I bet thigh would be tastier

It depends on how fat the human is, I imagine.
I don't know how well marbled human meat is.

it's not. Human muscle is generally distinct from from the surrounding adipose tissue. Even in fat people, you don't see fat intermixed with muscle like you see in cow meat. Human meat would probably be very tough and difficult to chew unless you slow cook it like brisket.

As for the belly, maybe that could be similar. Pork belly is mostly fat with a little bit of muscle. Humans are kind of similar. Good abdominal fat pad with some underlying (and not very thick) abdominal muscle.

Cannibalism isn't my thing. Not sure the appeal.

My belly doesn't compare to a pig's belly!
