So the vegetarian mother ate the boy's tongue, right?


Am I right to assume that's what that was?

reply

No. The boy's tongue was removed way before they met this couple. He didn't speak when they met in Toscana. All of the childrens' tongues were removed to prevent them from talking and had nothing to do with them possibly meeting a vegetarian in the future.

The point was that even though she was a vegetarian, she was easily swayed not to stay true to her convictions. Just one more example of how pathetically weak these people were.

Okay but tongues are just meat and can be frozen or refrigerated like any other meat. And the psychopath dude appears to be merely *pretending* to cut into that roast before he hands the vegetarian the fork with a piece of meat that had already been lying there next to the roast. That's what made me think it was pre-orchestrated. Then he made the comment "It's my favorite part of the roast!" which could've been a sick inside joke for himself and his wife.

So you think he kept the tongues to feed to his unsuspecting guests in the future? I did not think about that but I guess it is a possibility. It's certainly open to interpretation.

I wouldn't put it past him! He's clearly a sick, twisted fuck. Jeffrey Dahmer allegedly fed some of his victims to his neighbor(s) in the form of a sandwich.
