It is well-known that the taste of grass-fed beef is distinct from corn-fed. Does it surprise you to learn that humans taste different too, based on what they eat? I must admit that I stumbled upon this knowledge by accident after I ate my second person. This was a few years back, when I was living in DC. I admit I was a bit jaded, after spending the bulk of my twenties at parties, floating on a near constant raft of cocaine and having rather more indiscriminate sex than was really good for me. One time at a party this guy just keeled over in the bathroom, and my self-control being what it was, I couldn't resist cutting part of his calf off and taking it home with me. (I ducked out of there before anyone else discovered him, and since the host was a pretty serious drug dealer I think he found a way to cover it up.)Anyway, I cooked that calf muscle right up when I got home. Vacuum-bagged, cooked in a water bath at 150 with a little butter, salt, and pepper until it was as tender as a filet mignon. It had a bit of an earthy flavor which surprised me, though I didn't really know what to expect.
More later, I think my wife just got home.
