THE HAPPY ISLES OF OCEANIA    by     PAUL THEROUX

" I had found circumstantial evidence for cannibalism- the liking in Vanuatu
(and it had been the case in the Solomons too) for Spam. It was a theroy of
mine that former cannibals of Oceania now feasted on Spam because Spam came
the nearest to approximating the porky taste of human flesh. "Long Pig" as
they called a cooked human being in much of Melanesia. It was a fact that the
people-eaters of the Pacific had all evolved, or perhaps degenerated, into
Spam-eaters. And in the absence of Spam they settled for corned beef, which
also had a corpsy flavor."
