      I’m more wondering about the smell. If I entered a house made of human flesh, I’m sure the smell alone would make me gag. But if I smell a gingerbread house, it smells good.

      So if a gingerbread man were inside a gingerbread house, would he gag? Or would it smell just as pleasant to him as it does to us?

      And would smelling another gingerbread man be like smelling foul body odor? Or again, would it smell good?

        Ok but gingerbread is cooked, cooked human flesh smells good ignoring where it came from, from what I hear.

        But that is almost worse if you think about it.

        If I entered a house made of human flesh, I’m sure the smell alone would make me gag.

        Are you sure? It’s rotting flesh that smells gross. If the building material isn’t rotting, would it smell bad? Or what if it were dehydrated to be able to last a long time, like an unseasoned jerky? Or maybe even tanned, like leather?
