Warning: If you love taco's, perhaps stop reading now
We dare Reddit user IncrediblyShinyShart and his friends may be among the strangest people on the planet.
After they willingly ate a stomach churning meal, the likes of which we've never heard of before - and never want to hear of again.
One Sunday afternoon, IncrediblyShinyShart invited pals around with the promise of pastries, cakes, mimosas, and tacos, nice right?
The only catch being... the tacos were made with meat from his very own amputated foot!
Rewinding a bit and apparently IncrediblyShinyShart and his chums had all agreed that if an ethical chance to try human meat ever arose, they would.
So after IncrediblyShinyShart was involved in a motorcycle crash and unfortunately lost his foot, the perfect chance arose.
The 38-year-old Reddit user was driving at 72 kilometers (45 miles) per hour when he was hit and flung from his bike. The bones of the foot were shattered and doctors told him he would never be able to walk on it again, so IncrediblyShinyShart agreed to have it amputated. He just wanted to know if he could keep the foot once it was done.
They said he could and so after the operation, IncrediblyShinyShart took it home and froze it.
"It just seemed like an object, not a piece of a person. There was no emotional connection," he told Vice. "In fact, that was the weirdest part, was that it wasn’t weird."
Then, he invited his 11 of his most “amenable” friends to share a once in a lifetime culinary adventure with him. Ten said yes.
A chef friend prepared a chunk, marinating it overnight and then sauteeing it with peppers, onions, and lime alongside corn tortillas and a tomatillo sauce.
Sounds nice... if it wasn't, well a goddamn HUMAN FOOT!
Here's how IncrediblyShinyShart described it's taste to Vice: "It had a very pronounced, beefy flavor to it. The muscle I cut was tough and chewy."
And despite its icky origins, all but one were actually able to keep the meal down. In a Reddit comment, he says one had to "spit me into a napkin after chewing for a while".
As for IncrediblyShinyShart, the experience helped him get over a tricky part of his life and things have been looking up ever since.
"It was a way for me to close a lid on this part of my life...Things worked out so damn well afterward. My life has gotten so much better."
