at what temperature do you have to cook a human corpse to be sure all
the microbes are dead before you eat it?

That's a very good question, one I've been asking since about 1985. Back
then it was in reference to eating dead queers.

I never did get a straight answer.

I guess I'd shoot between 'pork' and 'leftovers'.

Although strictly speaking, I think 'leftovers' would be the correct
term.

Remember that the thermometer should be stuck into the thickest part
of the meat.

Of course it depends how long the meat has been exposed at
room/outside temperatures. Look for signs of spoiling, green areas.

Also it's a good idea to inspect the liver for signs of disease.
White spotting for instance could be a very bad sign. And of course a
quick check with the geiger counter couldn't hurt. Remember,
-something- killed it. Fresh gunshot wounds are a good sign because
you don't have to worry about disease.

Bone appetite!

You may use a standard meat thermometer. Check the "pork" setting and be
sure to probe all major cavities and muscle groups for the proper
temperature.

Pat McManus, a hunting/fishing/outdoor writer, has an essay devoted to the
derision sometimes heaped upon him at dinner parties when it is revealed
that he is a hunter. This typically takes the form of "Well, *I* would never
have anything to do with *killing."

When this happens, he waits for the main course to come out (assuming it's
meat) and says sadly, "Too bad I can't eat this. I try to avoid eating
things that died of natural causes. Any chance it was hit by a car?"

That's really a question for alt.cooking-chat or
rec.food.preserving.

Why would you want to kill all the microbes? They add FLAVOR.

I myself prefer meat to be hung at LEAST a week, if not longer.
