German cannibal Armin Meiwes has given an extraordinary account of how he ‘fried a piece of rump steak’ from his lover’s back then ate it with sprouts.
Bernd Brandes was killed in 2001 after posting an advert online called ‘Dinner – or your dinner’. In it, he offered ‘the chance to eat me alive’.
And now Meiwes has spoken about how he went about it for a documentary ‘Docs: Interview with a Cannibal’.
Clearly a romantic at heart, he said he ‘decorated the table with nice candles.’
‘I took out my best dinner service, and fried a piece of rump steak – a piece from his back – made what I call princess potatoes, and sprouts. After I prepared my meal, I ate it.
‘The first bite was, of course, very strange. It was a feeling I can’t really describe. I’d spent over 40 years longing for it, dreaming about it.
‘And now I was getting the feeling that I was actually achieving this perfect inner connection through his flesh. The flesh tastes like pork but stronger.’
Before he killed him, however, Meiwes says Brandes took sleeping tablets and drank schnapps before cutting off Brandes’s penis.
They then ate it together, he says.
One thing led to another and Brandes took a bath while Meiwes read him a Star Trek novel before eventually stabbing him in the neck to kill him.
