KASSEL, Germany (Der Spiegel) - In his first television interview, German cannibal Armin Meiwes describes the taste of human flesh, provides a decent recipe for steak, explains his fascination with the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel - and insists that he's a normal person. In his first television interview, broadcast Monday night on RTL TV, Meiwes, 46, looked relaxed and healthy as he spoke about his decades-long yearning to consume another man. The case came to light in December 2002, and the grisly details made world headlines. Meiwes filmed himself killing, disemboweling and cutting up the corpse of computer engineer Bernd Brandes, 42, whom he had met after posting messages in Internet chatrooms seeking "men for slaughter." Meiwes, a computer repair man, was originally sentenced to 8 1/2 years for manslaughter but that verdict was overturned by Germany's federal appeals court which deemed it too lenient and ordered him to be retried on a murder charge.  The judge ruled Meiwes had killed to satisfy his sexual urges. The court ruling means Meiwes could be eligible for parole after serving a mandatory 15 years in jail. "I sauteed the steak of Bernd, with salt, pepper, garlic and nutmeg. I had it with Princess croquettes, Brussels sprouts and a green pepper sauce," said Meiwes. He froze meal-sized portions of Brandes, some in the form of minced meat, and ate more than 20 kilograms of it in the months following the March 2001 killing. "The flesh tastes like pork, a little bit more bitter, stronger. It tastes quite good," he said.  He said that when he was a child, he enjoyed his mother reading him the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel," about a witch who traps two children and prepares to eat the boy. "The bit where Hansel is to be eaten was interesting. You wouldn't believe how many Hansels are whizzing around the Internet." Police estimate that around 10,000 people in Germany alone share Meiwes' fascination with cannibalism - either eating human flesh or being eaten. "He was close to me with every bite," Meiwes recalled, adding that Brandes had encouraged him to seek out other slaughter victims. "Bernd told me he didn't want to be on his own in the freezer for long," said Meiwes, who did indeed keep advertizing for fresh victims on the Internet until 18 months later, December 2002, when police arrested him after receiving a tip from a Web user.
