Who Loves Chef Boyardee?

We have our first blog request it seems. One of our readers wants to know the eating habits of the undead as well as my phone number. The phone number part's wrong, but I'm a sad and lonely man who needs to dream sometimes.

Yeah.........

Now where was I? Ah yes, zombie food. For those of you in the know, WoW's undead have a racial ability called Cannibalize. Think of it as a free bandage you looted off of that annoying hunter who tried to steal your mining node. What some people don't know is that there are certain intricacies that go with the eating of sentient flesh.

What is cannibalism?
Technically cannibalism is the eating of another of your kind. Ethically it's frowned upon to eat the flesh of another, but I have the solution for your moral conundrum. If you apply this to WoW terms, in reality it should mean a player's race eating it's own. Now while it's true that most undead's taste buds have long since died, we don't really want another guy's intestinal maggot colony moving in on the tapeworm family we've got chilling out in our stomach. Because of that we go out and eat other races' bodies. They're just lying there after all. Since they aren't actually the same as you it's not really cannibalism. Undead don't have cow horns or pointy Spock ears, so they really can't count as undead. Congratulations, you're ethically free!

What about taste?
In the circles of eating fresh man-meat, there's certain hierarchies of taste. Trolls for example refuse to eat gnomes and dwarves due to the fact that their heads come pre-shrunk. To undead, gnomes and dwarves are excellent. Gnomes are really tender like veal and dwarves come marinated in ten different kinds of alcohol. Night elf is something like fancy dining. Sure the meal looks pretty, but it doesn't have much substance. Now the real meal you want to try is the new entree, the Draenei. They're like surf and turf incarnate. Want seafood? Eat a dude. Need some goat meat? Draenei chick's your choice.

That's really all about an undead's eating habits in a nutshell. Now you know.
