Man eats own toes

An Austrian man cut off his toes, fried them up and ate them between two slices of bread after getting high sniffing butane gas.

When ambulance men arrived he offered to share his meal with them, passing over a toe and saying: "It tastes like chicken, do you want some, there's a few still left over."

Police said the 35-year-old suddenly became very hungry after sniffing the gas and had searched all his kitchen cupboards, but found nothing to eat.

Grabbing a kitchen knife he cut off his toes on his left foot and dropped them in the frying pan.

The man's sister called the police when she walked into the kitchen and saw him making the toe sandwich.

By the time ambulance men arrived there was little of the hacked-off toes left and a spokesman said: "What there was, was too badly burned to re-attach."

A police spokesman added: "He told the ambulance men that he had more toes than he needed and didn't think he would notice if he got rid of a few."

He was taken to a hospital in Steyr where he is recovering from his injuries.

I hope this wasn't posted yet. I did a search and did not find it.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm glad I had pork instead of chicken tonight.

"It tastes like chicken, do you want some, there's a few still left over."

Chicken fingers?

Toe-Fu??

I hope he had some peanut butter to put on that toe jam sandwich.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeee...

That's just wrong. I hope you're happy, this is a disgusting story that should NEVER have been posted!!!! Now I need to tell my whole family this story over dinner (roast pork)...

I heard about this; the man was such a wreck, they had to call a toe truck for him.

If it's possible to give a Darwin Award to a living person, this guy ought to get one. If not, I'm sure he'll join the ranks of Darwin Award winners eventually, in some other way. It sounds like he's just too stupid to live.

Shouldn't there be some Libertarians on here arguing that the man had a right to sniff glue and make a toe sandwich if he wanted to.

Shouldn't this guy have been dead or unconscious with the loss of blood?

How would you cut your toes off?

I didn't hear about any arrest - so evidently he DOES have that right.

It has been posted, but moved over to the GI forum:

I thought you two would get a kick out of this delicacy.

arguing that the man had a right to sniff glue and make a toe sandwich if he wanted to.

As long as he didn't hurt anyone else.

Of course, as a professional culinarian, I can state that trotters, pigs feet, knuckle joints, or something like toes should be cooked by a moist heat method, and not by frying. Sheesh. This guy is an idiot. (obviously)

Pull up right in front of them on the freeway.

It tastes like chicken...

I take it this psycho is a virgin.

[JRandomFreeper]

How would you cut your toes off?

I'd use a cleaver, because of the bones and joints, but I suppose you could use a boning knife. A boning knife would reduce the chance of bone fragments contaminating the sandwich.

But I wouldn't care to try it on my own tootsies. 8>)
