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.
