Bone beer: There’s a little known, although once common, funerary practice called “mortuary cannibalism,” in which a recently deceased body is consumed by family, friends, and tribe. Anthropologists sometimes refer to this as “compassionate cannibalism” — and not without controversy — but the logic of the practice is neatly summed up by a quote often attributed to the Cocomo Indians of Peru, who are said to have explained to Missionaries that it was “better to be inside a friend than to be swallowed up in the cold Earth.” Mortuary cannibalism has been well-documented in South America — in particular, the eating of the bones of the dead, properly called osteophagy. Mind you, South American tribes didn’t simply de-bone their loved ones and begin gnawing on their ulnas. Instead, they ground the bones and concocted complex meals with them, including mixing them with honey, cooking them into soups, and brewing them into manioc beer. By the way, for those of you who don’t mind the thought of a hint of corpse in your beer, it should also be pointed out that the traditional process of brewing manioc beer was to have women of the tribe mash up the manioc root, chew the mash, and then spit it into a bowl to ferment.
