What do Zombies eat?
 
Cast your vote please. Any flesh or just brains?

Shiny January 5th, 2010 11:17 PM

Well in movies, they are usually depicted eating any flesh.

Yes, I agree in most movies they mainly eat any flesh.

The only thing zombies don't care for is skin (unless it's dry and flaky, but that's more of an acquired taste in zombie culture). The not-snobby ones aren't very picky (nor are they modest), they'll go straight through the skin for the innards. I've studied some that like to save strips of muscle to munch on when they're bored.

From watching plenty of Zombie movies and playing plenty of Zombie games, I have come to a conclusion.
They generally eat any flesh they can get their undead hands on. But they prefer the innards and show a strong liking to the brain. So one human body is classed as a three course meal. The flesh being the starter, innards the main meal, and the brain is the pudding.

They may also take particularly strong sections of the human body and snack on them when they can't find a fresh body.

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINS. Traditional zombies only eat brains.

Legobricks January 6th, 2010 9:18 AM

I'd say nothing. In a true traditional sense, they are raised from the dead by magical forces to follow the will of their new master; they just attack with what means they have, usually their arms and teeth since human bodies are apparently easier to get hold of, and that is their only purpose. They do not need to eat because they're sustained by the spell used on them... and, well, they're dead.

A Pixy January 6th, 2010 9:27 AM

I've always thought that the brain was the tastiest part. e_e Or maybe they want to be smart enough to say other parts of the body.

But they could eat any part as far as I've seen.

Esper January 6th, 2010 10:56 AM

Zombies prefer a fresh salad with kidney beans, artichoke hearts and baby carrots. Afterward they like to sit down to a nice cup of tea and a few ladyfingers.

Zombies go for brains because they're mushy. Zombies have decaying teeth; how would they chew skin?

I'm telling you, they're not skin fans. (Unless they are wealthy and can afford dental care.) They normally don't chew on organs, but slurp them up like noodles.

Chibi-chan January 6th, 2010 11:39 AM

Actually, why do zombies eat anyway? They're already dead ):

I don't think they're really hungry, I think they just enjoy terrorizing. It's not like they have anything better to do.

Blue Nocturne January 6th, 2010 12:20 PM

They could be forming diplomatic relations. I'd love a good chat with a zombie.

On-topic, Working Class prefer the liver and other glands, wheras middle class prefer organs like lungs and brains. Only the recently deceased eat flesh, as their bones haven't decayed as much yet and can handle tougher meals. Only the richest enjoy the heart though, and the brain is also considered a luxury.

iLaxbe! January 6th, 2010 12:35 PM

I learned that they eat brains. But maybe some like flesh, each zombie must have its own preferences, i think.

Bay January 6th, 2010 1:33 PM

Guys, you have it all wrong. Zombies don't eat ANYTHING. Instead, they dance to terrorize us all:



Admit it everyone, that's what zombies do best. :P

FreakyLocz14 January 6th, 2010 2:15 PM

What movie was it where they say zombies only eat the brains because it eases the pain of their decomposition?

I think that was the remake of Night of the Living Dead.

Code January 6th, 2010 2:38 PM

Normal zombies? Braaaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnnzzzzz!
Vegetarian zombies? Graaaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnnzzzzz!
XD

Ayselipera January 6th, 2010 2:43 PM

I didn't think zombies were such picky eaters. I thought anything human is their main diet.

mikey January 6th, 2010 2:52 PM

I'm going to go with just brains xD

Cheesymitten January 6th, 2010 2:56 PM

Well actually a lot of references have been on Zombies eating brains.
I know that they actually should eat flesh.
Or both.. Whichever is easier XD

Xebelleon January 6th, 2010 3:01 PM

Any flesh. Not like our heads look like the Mars Attacks! aliens.
We do have skin, bone, and skull around our brains.

Unless you be a baby genius with an undeveloped skull...

Leader Soulja Boy January 6th, 2010 3:21 PM

That's true it was said that zombies don't eat people; only brains from an actual ziombie in a movie.
The reason is because eating brains eases the pain of decomposition.

The name of that movie escapes me though.

Kura January 6th, 2010 4:13 PM

Well obviously they eat salad.

Anxiety. January 6th, 2010 4:24 PM

See, now something the traditional brain eating zombies miss out - getting to the brains.
There is a thin layer of skin and then the skull, and decaying teeth can't handle pure bone. So they'd have to have the physical strength to smash the skull open, which they can't have because they're dead. So unless the eat all the neck and suck the brain out, their isnt a good way of doing it. And if they eat the entire neck well, they're not only eating brains.

So traditional, origonal zombies have a huge flaw, plus, less to eat.

On the side note, did you know that a zombie apocolypse is actually possible?

Captain Hobo. January 6th, 2010 4:26 PM

Well, I think that Zombies try to go for flesh.

Guillermo January 6th, 2010 10:16 PM

I'd be more interested in what Werewolves eat, tbh. But Zombies clearly eat all flesh, since they'd need to to get to the brain.

And screw what a movie says!

Idiot! January 7th, 2010 3:35 AM

Zombies devour the soul to make more zombies, because I don't watch TV

Unforgettable January 7th, 2010 3:40 PM

Brains for sure. Though I think they would settle with flesh if they had to.

ShieldWolf27 January 8th, 2010 11:02 AM

As the resident PC Zombie expert, I can tell you.

Zombies do not eat the brains. With the trouble of having to break through the skull, they rely solely on the skin and other main organs. If the brain is exposed, they will eat it. BUT it is the brain that keeps a zombie a zombie. It all happens in the head. When a zombie actually becomes a zombie, it all happens in the head. All bodily functions stop except the brain.

So in answer, the zombies WILL eat the brain, but only if it's already exposed. Other wise, they just go for the exposed skin and inner organs.

Peeky Chew January 8th, 2010 11:42 AM

Well, brais are just fat so of course they'll eat any part of the body with fat.

Gary, the Magic Fairy January 8th, 2010 11:45 AM

They don't eat. They may "eat" flesh, but I think it's just to kill, not to actually digest and use as nourishment. They must be kept alive by some magical force, or they would probably all be dead within days, if not hours. So unless this magic is somehow fueled by brains... that seems like the least likely part they would eat, since it's covered in bone.

Very true.
This is why you will see heads still snapping even after they've been removed.
You'll see zombies with stomach blown out still "eating".
They cannot digest anything as all the bodily functions has stopped. This means no digestion. They will "eat" until the flesh they feed upon either forces itself throughout the organs and out the rear or the stomach explodes outwards due to be completely full.

Anti-Hero January 9th, 2010 7:51 PM

Well, Zombies do it to kill. They don't have claws, or anything. So, biting/eating is typically the way for them to kill. If they had claws or something, they'd probably use those, and rip you to shreds.

Ven January 9th, 2010 10:33 PM

Same thing Hilary Clinton eats, brains.

There might be some zombies out there with false teeth.

Why would they eat, really? I mean, even if a zombie gets hold of a human, how would they rip out their victim's innards out if their muscles have decayed?

However, in recent zombie-related movies, I've seen the aforementioned devouring any parts of the human body.

sims796 January 11th, 2010 4:58 PM

Zombies prefer the brain, but they eat their way up to it.

They are social eaters, deciding to eat with others, before they turn on each other.
