This news is not for the faint of heart.

In a Reddit post, user IncrediblyShinyShart shared the story of a motorcycle crash that put him face-to-face with the macabre hypothetical. When a car hit his bike and sent him careening into a nearby forest, his foot was shattered to the point that he would never walk on it again. When the doctor asked if he wanted to amputate, his one question was, “Can I keep it?” The doctor agreed.
So, three weeks after the accident, Shiny, who prefers to remain anonymous, invited 10 of his most open-minded friends to a special brunch. They ate apple strudel, quiche puff pastries, fruit tarts, and chocolate cake. They drank gin lemonade punches and mimosas. And then the main course came out: fajita tacos made from Shiny's severed human limb.

Well, America doesn’t have a federal law banning cannibalism. Idaho is the only state in which the simple act of eating human flesh can land you in prison. Laws against murder, buying and selling human meat, and corpse desecration make cannibalism difficult, but technically legal in the other 49 states. It's rare someone able to consent to be eaten meets someone interested in eating them, but even that scenario raises a ton of ethical questions.
Shiny's is a rare case where cannibalism was not only legal but ethical. He even documented the entire process but we are not going to show you! Gross!
Just some details of it though from the interview between Vice and Shiny.
When he returned from the hospital with the leg, he clean and freeze it. After some time, he had four friends with him at the time and picked it up and were playing with it. It didn’t seem like it was a foot. It just seemed like an object, not a piece of a person. There was no emotional connection, so it doesn't feel weird out by it.
Then a "brilliant" idea struck him if you can dry-aged beef, why can't you dry-aged the foot?

He told the idea to his chef friend and he agreed to do it. He marinated it overnight and sauteed it with onions, peppers, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Then he served it on corn tortillas with a tomatillo sauce.
Let's not go in details on how it tastes like. We feel nausea while reading it.
According to Shiny, it was a bonding moment between the 10 friends which consumed the "leg". After consuming it, he felt he needed that very much for closure.
So what are your thought?
It's a pass for us though.
