    Or possibly because you are not allowed to. If I was one of those rugby players on that flight into the mountain, I'd have had no quarms eating another person to stay alive. that's why I always pack a camping stove with me when I fly - it has to be cooked...I'm not a savage you know!

    Pigs are seen as being quite intelligent and we eat plenty of them. I think much has to do with their taste. If they taste nice like lambs, porks and beefs do then eat 'em. If they don't, like cheese then leave them alone. That's my motto. If they have no fur like fish then I don't eat many of them - unless they live in a tin and are called red Salmon. So if its furry, pull the fur off and take out the gloopy insidy bits and roast it. A few spuds and veg and some animal juice sauce ovver the top. Lovely!

    If you freeze it first can you just not use a potato peeler?

    How do you make the mental leap from cute pet to delicious meal?
