long pig
Meat from people
Long pig is a translation of a term from certain Pacific Island languages for human flesh as food.
The phrase appears in accounts of cannibalism, suggesting that human meat resembles pork.
Now used darkly or humorously to refer to humans as potential meat: The castaways joked nervously about long pig.
