Totally okay then.

I get it under the circumstances, but still.

I have seen the term "long pig" used in reference to human cannibalism before, but my memory has lost the origins of that terminology. Any help?

I think it refers to the fact that without arms and legs a human torso resembles a butchered pig torso, but longer.

I hear eating there is pricey. It'll cost you an arm and a leg.

One of the things that hasn’t been discussed much in histories of World War II is the incidence of cannibalism by the Japanese army. I have seen some not very detailed claims about soldiers eating their dead comrades, but the one that’s best documented IMO is the one in which a group of high-ranking officers ate the liver of an American POW who was deliberately killed during a medical “experiment.”*

* The medical “experiments” by Germans in concentration camps are well known and documented, but the things done by the Japanese were equally as bad, if not worse. Like their other atrocities, however, they are not as well known—at least not in the West. China, on the other hand, doesn’t let its people forget, to the point that attacks on Japanese there have been reported, evidently for that reason. As usual about the atrocities perpetrated by its forces before and during the war, though, most are not acknowledged by the Japanese today.
