He Stayed for Dinner
October 20th 2011 20:30
Imagine a rich German guy. Big and buff with thick blonde hair. He yachts around the world, lounging in tropical paradise. He arrives in Nuku Hiva, one of those fantastic South Pacific islands in French Polynesia with his girl friend.
For fun, he goes on a ‘goat hunt’ with a local guy, Henri Haiti.
And never comes back.
His girlfriend is surprised by Haiti who beats her up and ties her to a tree. When the police come and start to search they find Brisket of Stefan Ramin cooking over a campfire.
Yup.
Cannibalism is still popular in certain parts of the world.
Way back when missionaries decided to Christianise the world they arrived in Polynesia and often wound up staying for dinner (In a Hannibal Lecter definition). The cartoon images of missionaries in a big caldron wasn’t fantasy although roasting over a fire was more tasty.
The eating of ‘Long Pig’; (it has been stated, by those who know, that humans taste like pork) did not go out with bustles but continues to this day.
There’s a photo of Stefan lounging in a tropical pool, relishing himself and his life, enjoying the admiration of those who view him.
Unaware that some of those who view him are seeing an entree.
Why was he eaten?
Some say it was the old mantra of eating one’s enemies to gain their prowess as has been done in the various wars fought on these islands. Not that Ramin was a real enemy but good enough as an ‘Other’.
No doubt Henri admired the big buff German and decided if he ate him he’d get his strength and power.
He tricked him into going into the bush where being a big buff German was not comparable to a small local who knew the terrain. Haiti killed him and cooked him, and ate his fill, before going to the girlfriend who obviously didn’t see a big buff German. Haiti tied her up and ran, probably perplexed that despite eating Ramin he didn’t turn into him.
One would have thought, after viewing ‘LOST’ that tropical paradise is not what its cracked up to be. Considering what happened to Ramin, perhaps one should avoid the ‘unspoiled’ remote island; unless they look particularly unappetising.
