Great fun and clever write, though I can't help thinking that cannibalism could solve our problem of global over population ha, ha, ha. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

This was laugh out loud funny, Michelle. I love your macabre wit. Did you hear about the cannibal who had a wife and ate children? He was late to dinner once... he got cold feet. Great write, great title too, best wishes in the contest.

I had several ideas for titles for this, such as 'Tastes like Chicken' and 'To Serve Man' (from the classic Twilight Zone episode) but thought An Acquired Taste was the best fit - glad you appreciated the humor, not sure how many would~

Giving me quite a welcome laugh today! Seems to me a tailored fit to the contest! A great day to you, dearest Michelle!

Remember that first you'll have to contend with layers of fat before you find out whether there's any me-at worth eating. :)
