TL;DR: if it becomes possible to grow human flesh, why not eat it?
http://www.lifenews.com/2018/03/06/richard-dawkins-wants-to-eat-human-meat-to-overcome-our-taboo-against-cannibalism/
What if human meat is grown? Could we overcome our taboo against cannibalism? An interesting test case for consequentialist morality versus “yuck reaction” absolutism.
No mention of preferred recipes. Yet.

Can Jews and Moslems eat long pig?
Can it be kosher or hallal?

Other than the "Ick" factor of eating people...meat is meat.
The biggest problem (other than the moral issues) with a cannibal diet is the passage of parasites in under cooked meat. Of course if the main course was perfectly healthy prior to being devoured most of those problems are eliminated.

Interesting twist on the subject: consuming human muscle cells that were grown in a bioreactor, was never part of a living being and could never be part of a living being.

If you had the ability to grow meat, why wouldn't you just grow beef or whatever animal meat you want?
What other benefit is there to growing human flesh in the quantity that would be needed for food? You wouldn't need that much for medical reasons. It would have to be tailored to the person anyway for medical purposes which would also seem to me to indicate animal flesh could be grown also since the ability to adjust the genetics would have to be there.
Why would this question come up? I suspect this is just someone trying to poke holes in yet another societal standard of behavior.
Yes, we must break “taboos” or we are not free!

or this
The unique, equal, and inherent dignity of every human life is a core belief of Judeo-Christian moral philosophy and a foundation principle of Western civilization. Indeed, every historical evil committed in the West — slavery, eugenics, Jim Crow, the Holocaust, the Inquisition, you name it — flowed directly from rejecting or disregarding that principle.
Seen in this light, Dawkins’s cannibalistic yearning — there is no reason to eat human meat except as a means of sticking a finger in the Judeo-Christian eye — is both decadent and subversive.

Yeah, I'm reading That Hideous Strength again, and no. Meat is not meat, unless you're stranded in the Andes.

Can we set it up to produce one continuous strip of bacon? Just unroll, cut to length and fry.
If you could somehow make it self-cooking, you could have a dispenser mounted to the ceiling of your 1976 Pacer. So much more mirthful than licorice.

Because sometimes you're just in the mood for Mexican or Chinese.

My sister-in-law met General Butt Naked during a trip to Africa a few years ago, after his "conversion." She's a braver person than me I guess. :O
