Uncategorized TFM radio was holding a ‘What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten’ contest when they had a caller admit to have unknowingly eaten “little black girls,” for years.
The female caller continued on saying that when she was a little girl, she lived in Africa and her family would always shop for meats at a local butcher. The caller explained that it wasn’t until she moved back to England did she find out that her old butcher had been arrested. He had been murdering children, and then selling the meat out of his butcher shop.
Obviously, she won the contest hands down.
