A --cannibal fork-- from Fiji - apparently a replica of the ceremonial cutlery used by chiefs to spear the choicest morsels

&ldquoEat me&rdquo was the appropriate salutation of a Fijian subject to his chief, back in the day. But anthropophagy was stamped out in the &lsquoCannibal Isles&rsquo after the murder and consumption of a missionary, the Reverend Thomas Baker, in 1867. On some Melanesian islands, according to Paul Theroux, corned beef now serves as a culinary substitute for (and close approximation) human flesh. I stuck to the vegetarian options of Fijian cuisine but I did acquire this tasteful memento a &lsquocannibal fork&rsquo apparently a replica of the ceremonial cutlery used by chiefs to spear the choicest morsels.
