Fiji Apologies


BBC link
According to local media, the remote village of Navatusila of Navosa on the Fijian island of Viti Levu has invited the descendants of the late Reverend Thomas Baker to visit next month.

Reverend Baker, from the London Missionary Society, was killed and cooked by the people of Navatusila on 21 July, 1867, after he took a comb out of a chief's hair.

It is forbidden to touch the head of a chief in Fiji.

One villager who took part in the feast was quoted in contemporary accounts as saying "we ate everything but his boots".

One of his boots is reportedly on display in the Fiji Museum.

Now, the natives of Papua are reported to have told Americans officers during World War II that they don't eat white men because they're too bitter. I guess they need to swap recipes.
