I understand this was the start of the Five-year Plan
to centralise the food storage in Moscow and it messed
up dismally.

I am totally ignorant of Salambo so any answer I give
will be an outright lie.

The eating of human flesh is prevalent in societies
that have a lack of usable protein in their diets.
Many of them practice cannibalism in funerary rights.

Well it is magical cannibalism, Neff. But I find
eating human flesh repulsive even in context of
fiction. But it can still be entertaining - as in
Ravenous.

Cheers,

Chris.
