"It's not every day I will have a piece of human flesh which is mine and which it is possible to eat. First I just had a little taster, but since it tasted good, I made it a full dinner of it. It was a very exciting and stimulating. It was so personal."
When asked about the taste of the meat he said that it was like wild sheep. Now his bone is exhibited as part of his work at the Tromsø Academy of Contemporary Art.
Wengshoel was born without a functioning hip, he underwent a series of failed operations and endured years in a wheelchair or on crutches.
