Eat cancer? (Cancer recipes?)

...

Laughed more then I like to admit.

There are lots of lab rats bred to have a high susceptibility to cancer for research purposes. They'd be easy to breed, easy to feed, just shoot some beta rays their way and sprinkle some aspartame on their food pellets.
Hardest part by far would be harvest.

Any sick ones having recipes?

Cancer is literally the Latin word for crab. So, yes... You can eat cancer.

they meant dump, this is talking about not dumping rubbish.

You mean Veeky Forums?

If Veeky Forums was edible I wonder how it would taste? As a Swed I'll bet it tastes kinda like really sour, bad lemons and surströmming (femented fish)

I think more like fermenting feces, dried semen mushrooms, breast milk cheese and bloody pus enfused vinegar.

Just eat some shitty minced meat and go fuck yourself

Jeez what twisted your tiny dick?

This is literally the plot to I, Haruspex.

Then you know it's a bad question

There was an episode on the X-files where some guy as killing people to eat their tumors

You could eat a tumor and not get cancer
It would be gross tho
It's just a uncontrolled growth of cells so it would be just fat or just muscle or something gross like that

Well you are a downer. If we solve this nobody will go hungry ever again!
Imagine how many people have cancer, it's practically a limitless food source!

Ever heard of cancer cell lines? It's basically cancer in a bottle multiplying at incredible hihg speed if you keep it fed. You need to follow a few guidelines regarding storage and sterile work environment, but it would definitely be possible to keep a shitton of cancer bottles and take away some every other day, as long as you keep enough left to grow again.

As for the health issue: usually it shouldn't be dangerous at all to eat cancer, because your body can recognize foreign cells (if they even live) and kill them. Although it's technically possible that a cancer cell stops displaying any antigens that make it recognisable at the cell surface. I heard of these so called nude cells, apparently they can fuck you up. But I have no idea if anyone even works with those, so you should be good.

I remember watching some tv show reporting on this boy with a giant mole that looked sort of like a turtle shell and I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to cut it off and prepare it.

Gold star for you laddie, this shits gold!

Did you come up with that by yourself?

this is lowkey the most fucked up board

Looks leathery as hell how would one go to make it more tender?

...

I want to know how it would feel to braise it, roast it, grill it..

Ay another cancer-bro for the feast! I shall prepare the tumors

nothin senpai

If you ate tumors regularly wouldn't you build up resistance to that particular cancer?

No the only way to "resist" cancer is for your cells to stop replacing themselves.

You've probably already eaten cancer. Odds are at least one steak you ate had some cancer cells in it.

Technically, Corn Smut is a plant cancer induced by a parasitic fungus.

Agreeing with previous replies you could eat a tumour and you would not get cancer OP.

HOwever no matter what type of tumour you choose I expect the texture and taste will be pretty awful, as cancer cells do not usually have the properties of the normal tissue. For example if you were to try and cook a myosarcoma (muscle cancer) it would not taste or feel like muscle.

You could eat a tumor, but depending on lots of factors such as the type of cell it derives from, the mutations it carries and the degree of growth, it could be some very bad quality meat.
Aggressive, fast-growing tumors tend to be necrotic in the inside.
Tumors also produce all kinds of endocrine perturbators which WILL fuck your glands up since you are made to be receptive to them.
Other than that, I guess a muscle tumor (rhabdomyosarcome) would be like a very chewy and weird-textured steak, but those are uncommon.

Overall if you pick your piece carefully you should be fine.
I guess there's a chance that, by not cooking your meat correctly and having a bleeding in your digestive tract, a single cell could avoid digestion, get in your blood flow, and find a nice little unguarded place (your brain) to colonize.

No, since the cells aren't absorbed by your body.

Cancer as a large mass is more than just fat cells, it needs a vascular system in order to grow large. It contains no bone, and isn't really muscle, but certainly would be meaty animal flesh, quite nutritious too because it contains the exact balance of what humans need.
People here routinely bring up tapeworms as a way to lose weight without cutting diet or doing exercise. But fast growing cancer would also work, and do so without introducing a foreign organism into our body. Cancer is after all, our own DNA and flesh, just with a mutation. The damaged DNA is not a food safety problem when cooked and eaten, so its quite edible, even if you eat someone else's cancer.
It would have a double benefit: the large rapidly growing mass would alleviate our weight gain concern, as all excess calories would be directed to the tumor mass, so we could eat as much as we want without wasting food. When the cancer mass reaches sufficient size, it could be amputated, and made into cruelty-free meat products. There is no ethical concern over consumption of your own cells. I've often thought of drawing pints of my own blood, in order to consume it, this would also have a weight loss effect while providing cruelty-free animal protein.
The future holds great promise in having engineered cancers tailored to our preferences, for instance, if you love steak, you can grow a well marbled beefy tumor on your leg, and harvest it each time it reaches 20 or 30 pounds. I volunteer for the first clinical trials once this becomes available, sign me up.

mhhhhh teratomae

Meh I've eaten haggis.

pls guys let's not encourage him

>For example if you were to try and cook a myosarcoma (muscle cancer) it would not taste or feel like muscle.
H-how do you know??

I've had this thought process too OP, I imagine it would taste like just shitty meat considering it's just a mass of tissue that doesn't really do anything

kek

what the fuck is that

A teratoma, obviously. A kind of tumor that usually appears capsule-like, filled with different tissues and similar stuff like hair, teeth, skin and stuff like that.

Print your own post and eat it

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_(disambiguation)
scroll down

surrstromming is literally fermented fish but functionally it is soooooooomuch more than just that.
hell you cant fucking eat it inside

>capsule filled with teeth

haggis doesn't have a pus explosion when you cut it retard

First I get persona v spoiled here, now this
I keep underestimating this board

Yeah, that nasty little cyst can be quite a bag full of surprise. They're usually fileld with hair and that yellow gel-like substance. Teeth, bone and even brain-like tissue are rarer, though.
They usually grow inside the testicles or ovaries. Don't worry, though. You have to be born with them if I remember that right.
