If you've seen "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover," you'll get a little of the same flavor from this tidbit.
A wedding party unknowingly ate human flesh after the father of the bride got mad at a cousin and roasted him using coconut leaves and kerosene.
The father, his son, another cousin and another relative first tried the main corpse and then took back some meat for the other guests.
A police official said the guests probably didn't notice they were eating Benjie Ganay "due to their drunkenness."
Because of indigestion or whatever, the father told his village leader, who told police.
The police chief, Superintendent Rey Lanada, said the cannabalism would be treated as an aggravating circumstance in the murder case.
If you're planning to cook a cousin any time soon, we encourage you first to take a look at "Cooking Out With Hannibal the Cannibal." No one knows how to handle human flesh quite like that madman.
