Page "The BFG" Paragraph 28
from
Wikipedia
Most of the evil giants are only mentioned by name ; some are given a larger role, such as Fleshlumpeater, who is the largest and most dangerous of them all ( and therefore something of a leader ), and Bloodbottler, who invades the BFG's cave early in the story.
Because every ethnicity of humans is said to taste different from the others, the giants have certain preferences, although all detest Greece as a hunting ground.
This is because the flavors supposedly reflect the names and / or principal exports of the native land: therefore, Greeks taste greasy ; Turks, taste like turkey, and are a particular favourite of Bonecruncher ; Danes taste like dogs ( Labradors-those from Labrador taste like Great Danes ), and Swedes taste sweet and sour ; people from Wales taste of fish ( because the name sounds like that of " whales "); etc.
Also, the BFG says that the evil giants are twice as tall as him, so he's a comparatively runty giant.
