Are you an adventurous eater? So were the three men in this week's tale: Karl Denke, Joe Metheny, and Armin Meiwes. So eclectic was their palate that they tried their hand at preparing the ultimate taboo meal: human flesh. In this week's episode, you get not one, but three tales of horrific murder, dismemberment, and grilling (or pickling, in some cases). Find out why you should be avoiding sketchy hangouts under bridges, and why cooking with wine (or cough syrup) doesn't necessarily work for all meals.
Food is not necessarily advisable for this one, but maybe try a good scotch that pairs well with pork? Or a nice German beer?
