"  You&amp;#039;ve crashed on Donner Airlines; you&amp;#039;re alive but stranded. If you had to eat your fellow passengers in order to survive, what parts would you eat? Mmmmm, passengers. According to Myke Hawke, who retired from the U. S. Army Special Forces as a captain and wrote Hawke&amp;#039;s Green Beret Survival Manual, &amp;quot;The meaty bits \u2014 the legs, the buttocks, the back muscles. Stay away from the organs. Don&amp;#039;t eat the brains, because that can cause some crazy viruses. I always recommend you save the blood. It&amp;#039;s great for basting.&amp;quot; Who isn&amp;#039;t dying to grab a necro nosh with Captain Myke? Carole A. Travis-Henikoff, the author of Dinner with a Cannibal: The Complete History of Mankind&amp;#039;s Oldest Taboo, who begs to differ on the entr\u00E9e: &amp;quot;The most nutritious thing in the body is the brain. Okay? You don&amp;#039;t want to forget the tongue \u2014 that&amp;#039;d be a very fine piece of meat, and actually delicious. Okay?&amp;quot; Okay. But to settle the matter, here&amp;#039;s Wayne Vogl, a professor of anatomy and cell biology at the University of British Columbia. His call? No brains. &amp;quot;I would avoid nervous tissue of all kinds, because there are diseases associated with the central nervous system that you can pick up fairly readily.&amp;quot; Instead, Vogl suggests, &amp;quot;Limbs \u2014 you have a lot of muscle in the thigh or buttocks. There&amp;#039;s a lot of fat in that muscle, so it would be pretty nutritious. Then arms.&amp;quot; Arms? &amp;quot;Shoulder muscles, shoulder blades, that sort of thing would be good.&amp;quot; To which AF can add only a hearty bone app\u00E9tit. Got a question?
