In Bengali there is a saying: with enough money you can buy tiger’s milk. In China you can probably have a taste of tiger flesh (and rhino and elephant and…).
In Nigeria apparently you can carry out your indulgences a bit further than that. It seems there are literally no boundaries, food without borders so to speak. Bon appetit!!
A tip-off led police to the macabre discovery in Anambra, Nigeria,
with 11 people being arrested and AK-47 guns and other weapons being
seized. Human flesh was apparently being sold as an expensive
treat at the restaurant, with authorities saying that roasted human head
was even on the menu.
“I went to the hotel early this year, after
eating, I was told that a lump of meat was being sold at N700, I was
surprised,” a pastor who had visited the eatery said.
“So I did not know it was human meat that I ate at such expensive price.
“What
is this country turning into? Can you imagine people selling human
flesh as meat,” he added. “Seriously I’m beginning to fear people in
this part of the world. “
