Do you (or someone you know) have a pet guinea pig?
They were originally
domesticated and raised as food, in Peru. I must say a good barbequed cuy
(which is what they are called there) is quite tasty, though not much meat
on them.
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.

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.

If you're going to eat cow or pig or horse or squirrel, why not human?
It's all just protein in the end.
(Well, in the end it's something else, but when it goes in it's protein.)
