Human would be easier to disguise as pork. The taste is similar. So I'm told.
(cannibals somewhere referred to human meat as ‘long pig’)

It was Polynesian cannibals that referred to people as ‘long pig’.

We have a local butcher’s chain in the Moravian-Silesia region that I go to for what I want. It’s actually slightly cheaper here to go to a butcher than to a supermarket. Lower markups.

When I crave Hebrew National hot dogs, there’s a Turkish mini-market here that carries them. It’s the only place I’ve seen in this region that has them.

So what? It says “meat balls”. Just be glad it’s meat and not the other.
