Question about food
Does anyone know what was cooking on the skillet? It looked like female body parts.
shareIt was human kidneys. The scene that follows the skillet scene shows the young boy at school staring at a school anatomy poster of human kidneys. Think of it as foreshadow.

What did they use for the meat in the movie?
Some guady moth or butterfly, still alive, was safely pinned to the wall.
Also, please note, don't even worry about foreshadowing. The Father (Randy Quaid) when standing before a colleague of his, from work, asking for "100 grams of liver" from the cadaver the other man is about to cut open. It makes sense, since liver is a part that is used for cooking in all sorts of meats. Beside that, it even looks like a piece of a liver (if you've ever seen one) the liver is the largest gland of the human body. It could be harvested exactly the way it is portrayed on the film...coming in grams, not pounds...being ground to make a loaf, so on and so forth.
It's just liver. Not human liver. The parents are not cannibals.
shareIf your referring to the 2 things in the skillet, he slices one of them open, it is not liver, liver is a different color, size, and texture, and shape. He is cooking kidneys, probably beef or venison kidneys.

There is never a moment where the movie says that they aren't, and the whole movie insinuates that they are. And the ending would completely suggest that they are, and so was the dad's parents too. How else did his parents die? And if they did die some other way, what kind of a movie wouldn't even hint at it?
You are way over thinking things if you honestly think the whole film was a lie. That's a more ridiculous assumption than the idea that Patrick Bateman just likes to doodle about killing women.
No really, think about it. Never once in the whole movie did they admit to it.
In the scene with the counselor dieing, there were gloves on the hands and the boy disappeared.
The father calls him a vegetarian, says "your mother never had a taste for meat before she met me."
At the end of the movie, they show the sandwich and the kid freaks out.
He was scared of meat, THOUGHT his parents were cannibals (when they were just having sex).
Rewatch the movie with that premise and it will make SO MUCH MORE sense. The kid was the one that was disturbed, not his parents.
The kid imagined all of the stuff, from the leg hanging in the basement, to the body in the window (as after it falls out, the next scene shows that it is not there when the counselor backs away from the window). The boy runs out of the basement and locks her inside.
Really, rewatch the whole movie thinking the kid is insane and the parents are fine and it will make much more sense.

I believe they were, but let's say they weren't and its the boy that's disturbed, then the father's behavior can be explained that he simply doesn't like his wimpy son. Remember the scene whereby he tells the son, you don't look like me; you don't act like me. Well I don't like you either. We've seen movies with dads like that that don't like their sons because they are not rough and tough.
I tell you what human meat or not that movie (not because of the premises) can turn anyone into a vegetarian. It made meat look so disgusting and when you consider we are eating the flesh of a cadaver - well a hamburger doesn't look so good anymore.
But a lot less fun!

Wel, if you are going to suggest the whole film is in his imagination then you could say that about any film.
Close Encounters ? A film about someone who day dreamed
Lord of the Rings ? Was a film about a boy in Suburban Manchester with an overactive imagination
You seem to have thought about your false premise too much and bended your memeory of the film to suit.
Any film that had that as a premise and failed to hint at in in a twist at the end of the film failed manganimously
