The Donner party were a group on the Oregon trail that got stuck on a mountain pass in the winter and resorted to cannibalism to survive. The Dollup did a really good podcast episode about it.

Also the cafe in the University of Colorado UMC is named "The Alfred Packer Gill". Alfred Packer was a similar famed cannibal.

I don’t see what the big deal is. I always have people at that picnic ground to eat.
