Because that's like beef.

I mean, so the full context was that I actually wasn't in the room at the moment that the question was first asked.

And my husband was asking Otto what else he wanted for dinner other than what we were having that night.

And I actually can't remember what it was.

And Otto said sausage, chicken skin, and the meat of a human head.

Okay.

And Josh, my husband, was obviously surprised and he laughed.

And then he texted me.

I was upstairs doing something.

He was like, you've got to come down and hear what Otto just said.

So we repeated this whole exchange.

And I said, Otto, do you know what would have to happen for us to eat together?

the meat of a human head?

And he said, yeah.

And I said, you know, the person would have to be dead.

And he said, yeah, well, they would already be dead, like an old person, and their body was just there, and we could just eat the meat of their head.

And I explained to him that humans don't eat other humans, but the more I tried to explain why, the less of a good answer I had.

I think it had more sticking power for me.

I think that he kind of quickly realized it was taboo and he backed off of it.

And that's something I've been thinking a lot about.
