Radio caller reveals cannibal habits

A radio presenter was stunned when he answered a call from a listener who admitted she was once an unwitting cannibal. DJ Graham Mack, from Teesside-based station TFM, had issued a challenge to listeners to find the most unusual thing they had eaten.

He took a flood of calls giving the type of exotic cuisine he had expected, including snails, sea urchins, monkey brains and dog and horse.

But when he received a call from a woman who once said she had eaten human flesh, he did not know what to say. The caller, only known as Anthea, said: "I've eaten human being."

Mr Mack slowly replied: "Oh my goodness. Right, all bets are off. You can't beat that. How come you were a cannibal?" She answered: "It was when I was a child when I lived in Africa. We always went to the same butcher and then suddenly - we were there a couple of years - the meat started to get so much better.

"It was only when we moved back to England a couple of years later that we realised that the butcher had been arrested because he farmed little black girls." There were gasps in the studio.

Anthea added: "We didn't know at the time. According to my mum it was very delicious but not very nice (inaudible)." The DJ replied: "So what do you think it was? You thought it was beef?" She said: "My mum said yes, she was just buying mince."
