funny(?) morbid anecdoteBacon smell is real lol. When I was a kid, my dad and I were stopped at an intersection on our way to get lunch. We started talking about how good the nearby barbecue smelled, until he realized there wasn't any barbecue place nearby... then I noticed smoke coming out of the chimney at the funeral home across the way — they were doing a cremation

    CW: cannibalism

    Long pig - Oxford Reference

    The macabre term long pig for ‘human flesh used as food’ dates from the mid-nineteenth century. It is supposedly a translation of an expression used in the language of a cannibal people of the southwestern Pacific rim.

    I wonder if there have been any at least fairly notable death metal bands with that name. A band that did one EP and existed in Liverpool for 8 months in 1983 doesn't really count to me.
