re: food and drinks that still taste good when stale

Would you eat another person?

Just think. Rip yourself from this cushy modern world and imagine yourself, freezing and ill-clad in the Alps on Hannibal's march.

Your pack animal, with all your food, has fallen over the cliff into the icy abyss below.

You've been separated from your column by an avalanche, with only your dead comrades around you.

And you haven't eaten in days.

Hunger, which has panged you at dinner, and breakfast, and lunch, and dinner, and breakfast with no respite, now rears up in your belly like an enraged monster.

The flesh of the dead looks so tender, so inviting....


How hungry are you?
