“When the SHTF, they will resort to cannibalism in 2 days.”

I was visiting pops at a public health hospital in Baltimore back in the mid 60s... I was watching a B&W portable set up in the ward and recall a 50’s movie where some mountain man made the comment of “don’t eat the right Haunch that’s the working Haunch, meats too tough!”

I wonder what the name of that movie was?

Cowboy (1958) starring Glenn Ford and Jack Lemmon

Slim Barrett: Tell the boys the time you ate them Indians, huh? Come on!
Joe Capper, Trailhand: Ah, I only ate but one injun in my whole life. An even then it was just a haunch.
[a little later]
Paul Curtis: Hey, old Joe would be rather fighting Indians all the time, wouldn’t you, Joe? Look at him, boss. It makes him hungry just thinking about it.
Joe Capper, Trailhand: Ah, cut it out, will you, Curtis? I was near starving to death. In fact, I didn’t even know that injun. Anyway, I threw away everything except for one haunch.
Paul Curtis: Which haunch did you keep, Joe?
Joe Capper, Trailhand: Well, the left one, of course! The right one is the working haunch. They’re always tough.
