Munches on frogs' legs for an encore.

*shrug* It's pretty common around here. Usually it's a fairly juvenile euphamism. . .Since when do we partake in cannibalism?
But then my introduction to the Hive came through a Non-Hive thread that was invaded by Hivers. The subject of that thread? Frog-gigging. I didn't even know what it meant until quite a ways in.

He said he was a different species.
It's only cannibalism if it's your own species.

I also have this burning desire for some bone.
As the sole creator and operator of Chipper Shredders for a Better Tomorrow, I'm sure I can meet all your bone needs.

Now that's just dirty.I also have this burning desire for some bone.
See? I need to change back to my poison dart frog avatar.
We actually had this discussion at my D&D game last week. Does any other intelligent species count? How close/far is okay?
Dragons eat people all the time.
People eating dragons?
Dragonborn eating dragons?
People eating elves/dwarves?
...
It's more complicated than it seems, I think.
Mmm...bone.

In my long standing campaign, the party killed a dragon causing almost no damage to the body. Came to the conclusion that, what the hey, they could skin it and turn it into cutlets, and then went to Sigil, and sold it for good cash to Imil's Happy Tongue Restaurant.
Overjoyed at the cash flow possibilities, they stepped up the plans to take on a dragon they actually did need to confront. It was a harrowing experience, but they pulled through, and proceeded to skin and bone it, and sold it, and it's three whelplings as quality meat as well.
About a week later, at their manor house, they had three visitors...One of whome started the conversation by saying, "I still say we should move straight to eating them, none of this stupid talking."
The party quickly realized that they were having tea with three great wyrms in human form. The leader of whom laid it out like this...
"In every place in every world on every plane, there is predator and prey. Sometimes the tables turn, and what was prey scavenges from it's predator or brings it's hunt to an end. At that point, whether predator or prey, the winner has right to all the loser had, and may feast as they see fit on the flesh, and organ, and bone of the fallen. Thus does life continue."
"However, it is in poor taste to all thinking beings, no matter their place in the hierarchy of the hunt, to have their entrails made to sausage and their bone meal to bread and then SOLD, to those who did not take hand in the death, nor were threatened, nor injured by the dead."
"If you kill us, eat us, and be proud of your success. Let the villagers of a town we razed grow strong on our fat."
"But if we hear tell that you hunt us to be steaks and stew on the dishes of a feckless fat man so wide he waddles to increase his coffers while wearing a facade of skill made by others...you will find that your place in prophecy and vaunted skills will do you little good when you are nothing but buttery marrow in our bellies."
"Do we have an accord?"
