Are you sure that’s a beef burger? Human flesh was apparently served at a restaurant in Nigeria (Picture: PA)
If you thought eating horse meat was bad, spare a thought for these diners.

Two freshly severed human heads wrapped in cellophane were reportedly discovered at a hotel restaurant which served human flesh, according to a Nigerian newspaper.

Police officers apparently made the grim discovery after receiving a tip-off about the eatery in the state of Anambra, Nigeria.

Authorities, who also seized two AK-47 guns and other weapons, said roasted human head was even on the menu, it has been reported.

A pastor, who is thought to have visited the restaurant, is quoted as saying: ‘I went to the hotel early this year, after eating, I was told that a lump of meat was being sold at N700, I was surprised.

‘So I did not know it was human meat that I ate at such expensive price.

‘What is this country turning into? Can you imagine people selling human flesh as meat.

‘Seriously I’m beginning to fear people in this part of the world. ‘

Another resident told the newspaper: ‘I always noticed funny movements in and out of the hotel. I was not surprised when the police made this discovery.’

The restaurant was shut down and 11 people were arrested following a police tip-off about the unusual menu items, according to tabloid the Osun Defender.

If I found out I was eating human meat, I'd probably barf

it could happen anywhere. I've definitely had a few dodgy chinese takeaways that made me wonder...

I always thought getting head at a restaurant was like a rites of passage.

and y'all were complaining about horse meat

I imagine there isn't much meat on a head, so I guess it's no surprise that they were left.

Human meat is actually toxic to humans. Though perhaps that's only in the western world. Apparently, all of the additives and crap we eat and drink, and the general toxins in our everydays lives, make us unfit for human consumption. Quite worrying in itself, really.

i'm pretty sure that consumption of human meat is much more common in the 3rd world than it is in the western world, so i don't think that's the problem. I think it's like mad cow disease, which came about from feeding cow meat to cows. It's an evolutionary mechanism built in to our genes that makes sure that cannibalism is not rewarded in our genes pools. Evolution rewards us for expanding our gene pools, and protect our own gene pools, so eating our own kind would not be beneficial genetically. Evolution does not want us to be eating our young during a hard winter, because those young, if they survive, are our best hope for carrying on our genes to the next generation.

Would certainly go a long way in explaining the problem that is........Africa !!!

Maybe so, although cannibalism of those who aren't family members would be evolutionarily advantageous to an extent, especially if they were riddled with regressive traits. An instinct for "Survival of the species" is a total myth, all we're programmed for us survival of our own genetic line, mainly direct decendants although siblings and to a lesser extent full cousins. We should be eating everyone else really. Unless they have some nice genetically diverse traits we'd like to incorporate.

Interestingly, matricidal cannibalism is quite common in the animal kingdom. Rodents especially are big on eating their babies. Ever tried to breed hamsters? You have to get those little suckers out of the cage quickly, or they'll start disappearing! Lots of other species have a habit of killing and eating their "runt" sibling, too.
