The Cannibal Question

I was recently reminded of the anthropology class I took in college. I fondly remember the following as I was the only student in class who answered it correctly:

In a remote (and fictional) location, there lived Tribe X. Tribe X cooked their food over open fires, and they had two ways to cook their food. Some food was simply roasted over the open fire. Other foods were cooked inside earthenware pots with tight-fitting lids. Different foods were traditionally cooked one way or the other. Meats were cooked.

Tribe X practiced cannibalism in two situations. First, when a member of the tribe died, the family and close friends of the deceased would eat some of the deceased to keep him or her always with them. Second, if the tribe battled an enemy tribe, captured enemies were eaten to take the strength of their enemies into themselves.

How did Tribe X cook people? (If they cooked them at all?)

The answer is in the first comment.
