Eating the rich!
Redistributing the wealth!
I can totally imagine some rich dudes back in the day goin’ all “acquired taste” over mummies.
This is one of those times when I want to grab everyone involved by the collar, shake them violently, and demand to know what they were thinking.
Sometimes, though, it involved a lot more planning
Didn’t they also make a weirdly specific paint color from mummies?

Compendium of Colors […] proclaimed that the finest brown […] "is the flesh of mummy, the most fleshy are the best parts.
People are wild. 😂
See I miss when I thought this was some weird quirky future thing that Futurama made up, but no, why the fuck would anyone think it was a good idea to eat million year old dead people?
At least they were eating the least scary version of the dead. It’s a lot loss frightening when the zombie you’re consuming decides to stand up, but is covered from head to toe in toilet paper. Like, come on.
Yummy!
