The weirdest piece of meat I've ever seen in my life at the supermarket
•
u/RedHeadedPatti 2h ago
It is a camel leg or possibly an ox - there's a tray of ox tails next to it.
- On human legs, there's either zero or next to zero tissue in front of the shin.
- If it was human, all of the calf muscles would have to be tightly contracted to hold the foot in that position - and they are not.
- The kneecap is not as distinct as it would be on a human leg.
- The muscles on the thigh are wrong for a human leg.
- The "foot" is one solid piece and not multiple bones.

Fyi, ox = beef. An ox is a castrated bull used as a plow/work animal. Oxtail can come from any cattle, though it's almost never from an ox.

Not to mention, even if the calf was contracted, it wouldn’t be that high up on a human leg in regard to the knee. Also agree on the guess of an ox or camel.

Long pork / pig is from Fiji, the term was a translation of local expressions like puaka balava (meaning "long pig")humans since apparently human and pig taste strikingly similar according to them.

Yes and "long" because the meat appears just like the pig meat but is lengthier.

They taste very similar, but old humans are quite gamey. All humans apparently are much more fatty.

It's very likely goats leg, it just looks odd since it's not broken down. That bottom piece is a hoof, not a foot

Of course, I'm a butcher. Judging by the length and shape, I'd say it's a human leg.

Butcher here it’s 100% not from any animal I have ever seen.
As far as i remember this was a news story and the guy who owned the butchers shop was questioned about killing somebody.

Lmao. When I was a kid I watched Titanic with my mom and when Jack showed Rose his drawing of the one-legged prostitute I asked my mom what a prostitute was. She said “It’s someone who sells their body” and for years I totally thought she sold her leg for money 😂

I too had a literal child. When he was 4, he sobbed when I said, "It's raining cats and dogs outside. Better be careful, you don't want to step in a poodle." Because he was afraid someone would step on a poor dog.

Most meat eaters prefer the cognitive dissonance of pretending the meat they choose to eat is somehow more moral.
I'm a meat eater and just accept that we're murderous creatures.

Can you give me a description without being gory??
Edit: it’s nothing like I thought. No cannibalism or anything. Just the non traditional meats humans dont eat most places. Dogs, cats, bats, etc. The BBC article was kind of interesting on it. But yeah, I don’t think I’ll be trying it despite how good they claim the spices and pastes that go on these meats are.

It’s not terribly graphic. But they have cats and dog for sale as meat. Both alive (in cages) and processed.

The label next says Pakistan beef shoulder so my guess is that's what it is, they resemble this shape, the human leg has a hip joint that runs out a little not straight as an arrow.
