If British cooking was snubbed before, I can't imagine this story is going to help matters.
"A gay chef has murdered his lover, cut out part of his leg, seasoned it with herbs and fried it," The UK Daily Mail reported.
Chef Anthony Morley, 35, a one-time Mr. Gay UK, took a bite out of Damian Oldfield's (left, bottom) thigh before turning himself in to police.
Oldfield died from 20 stab wounds before Morley cooked and ate his leg.
The two had exchanged text messages ("Try me...I'm not your average poof," Oldfield wrote) and had drinks at a bar before going to Morley's Leeds apartment, police said.
Morley used two kitchen knives to stab Oldfield. Afterward, Morley told police he was acting in self-defense.

Was he eating his leg in self-defense, as well?

He's doesn't really think the British will believe he "seasoned with herbs and fried" the guys left "bottom" in self-defense. In the US, absolutely! I'm sure we have a label for that psychosis, which will keep him out of jail, provide therapy and medication all at the expense of the "understanding" American tax payer.

Should'nt have said, "try me".

This is madness! What are we coming to? Hacking someones leg off does not qualify as self defense, it qualifies as insanity. And to top it off, lol
he cooked the leg, omg. this clearly illustrates that he cant function properly in society and should never be let back into it

Self defense huh? And I guess eating his leg must have been to prevent starvation.
