You're not dreaming.  There is a brief mention of it
in the old Q&tD on page 120, but the real meat of what
you're looking for is in Tales o'Terror:1877, pg 104.

Now as for eating human flesh there's lots of things
you can do.  There's turning the characters into
wendigos which is mentioned in the DLs original book,
pg 201, and continued in the Q&tD, pgs 114 and 115.  I
also thought there was something about people becoming
ghouls (not the undead type, more like a
human/monster), but I can't find that reference.

Personally I think there's a shade difference on
whether someone consumes human meat without knowing as
opposed to conciously choosing to do so.  If someone
knowingly and willingly consumes human flesh, have
them become a monster.  If it was an accident, let
them sweat.  Have them notice things are different and
they slowly are becoming an evil beast.  Pick a
monster at random and give them one or two of it's
traits (with some bonus disadvantages).  Give them a
chance to redeem themselves or accept their fate. 
Also while they're suffering give them an extra card
or two if they die to see if they come back harrowed
(or worse, make them fully and abomination, no not
under that players control, as an NPC).  I would not
penalize a harrowed who ate human flesh, except maybe
give them harder dominion rolls.
