The Korowai and Kombai peoples of southeastern Papua are two of the last surviving tribes in the world said to have engaged in cannibalism in the recent past. They reckon it hasn't occured since around 1970 at the latest.
I was just recently reading about the 'fuzzy wuzzy's' a group of papuans who helped Australian troops in wartime and this was mentioned. I've seen footage of tribal men describing their participation in canabalism. They didn't live off it as a food and are certainly not the only people to have engaged in eating the flesh of enemys in history.

No not any more, they used to be man eaters. However today the americans, british, pakistanis, iraqi's............. are all man eaters, , they only need a chance to eat their fellow humans. We all humans of this world have degenerated to this level and we are not making any efforts to rise and live like good humans.

They are one of two last known cultures who practice Canniballism. The other is in Borneo.. No culture support cannabilism since the 60's. If you are currious, people do not taste like chicken, they taste like oppossum.

However they would never eat clowns or comedians on account of the funny taste
