My two favorite things from that article are the pics they were clearly trying to make look like human meat, but then stated they weren't in the tagline, and the dude who was just as shocked at the prices in the restaurant as the human meat.

Disgusting: Nigerian restaurant has reportedly been shut down for cooking human flesh and serving it to customers (file photo of pork chops)
Haha, "Disgusting.......file photo of pork chops".



Quote:
A local priest who ate at the restaurant - in the south-eastern province of Anambra - was alarmed at the price of meals there, let alone where the meat came from,BBC Swahili reported.
He was presented with a bill of 700 Naira - around £2.20 - when the daily wage for tens of millions of Nigerians is approximately 60p.
The priest said: 'The attendant noticed my reaction and told me it was the small piece of meat I had eaten that made the bill scale that high.
'I did not know I had been served with human meat, and that it was that expensive

Of course they were caught. You cant charge that much for human meat and get away with it.

They were getting away with murder, gouging the customers like that.

I suppose the butchers could be facing a lot of overhead.

The authorities were tipped off when they changed their slogan to "You are what you eat."

I think it was the side order of fava beans and glass of Chianti that pushed up the price

Were they trying to pass it off as some other type of meat?

This is my favourite cannibalism joke to ever appear on a TV show.

Fry: What if the secret ingredient is... people!?
Leela: Oh, there's already a soda like that. Soylent Cola.
Fry: Oh, how is it?
Leela: It varies from person to person.

Any legit news sources? The Daily Mail is the UK equivalent of the National Enquirer.

Det. Thorn: Ocean's dying, plankton's dying... it's people. *Soylent Green is made out of people.* They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!

Hatcher: I promise, Tiger. I promise. I'll tell the Exchange.

Det. Thorn: You tell everybody. Listen to me, Hatcher. You've gotta tell them! Soylent Green is people! We've gotta stop them somehow!

So the priest was more concerned about the price of his bill rather than he ate human meat?!

Well at least they know what it is. To this day no one has identified what the food at Denny's is.
