Donal: yet it is widely understood between various cultures that
refusing such an offer is not a friendly act and the risk of disease or
illness is not taken as rendering such a refusal proper. [An acceptable
refusal needs an acceptable excuse - and that is not 'No thanks, it
might make me ill'.]
There is an element of danger to consider. Peking Man, as is well known
from the fossil record, was a cannibal, usually preferring to eat
brains, perhaps as the highest protein, best tasting part of a human. A
stranger offered another human's brain might have the suspicion that he
or she is next on the menu.
