There has been a debate among antropologists about the
prevalence of cannibalism in most old cultures. The thing is, now
that they have started to seriously analyze the evidence,
they are finding that it was the norm rather than the
exception. It was a case of not wanting to look for evidence
of it. Anatomically modern humans have existed for
100K years or more; only recently have a lot of us become
anti-cannibalistic. There is a recent article in Scientific American.

Aztecs bred a special dog race, called
"izcuintle", for
culinary purposes. They're pretty ugly as they are
hairless. But they're supposed to taste like pork.
They also ate people too, that tastes like pork too.
