Mark Nuckols, a current Dartmouth B-school student and former Georgetown Law grad has apparently come up with a form of human-flesh flavored tofu he calls 'hufu.' Why not 'hofu,' you ask (hypothetically)? Here's why...
Somehow, I just know this diminishes the value of my law degree a bit. I'm not quite sure how, but I can't shake the feeling.

Nuckols reportedly came up with the idea for human-flavored tofu while eating a tofurkey sandwich and reading anthropologist Marvin Harris' book "Good To Eat: Riddles of Food and Culture," which features a section on cannibalism.
He also claims that the name "hufu" was actually coined by actress and model Milla Jovovich. Several years ago, a business associate was discussing Nuckols' idea, then called "hofu," with a friend on a Eurostar train going from London to Paris. Jovovich, intrigued, allegedly turned around to join in the conversation, commenting, "'Hofu' sounds like 'c*ck' -- you should call it 'hufu.'"
"As far as I can speculate, she meant 'ho food,'" Nuckols said. "She's a supermodel -- she doesn't have to make sense."
Jovovich's publicist has not replied to inquiries from The Dartmouth.
