That just not true, and it's not even something that isn't still practiced. Corpse medicine was a thing in the 19th century, we also have Vlad the impaler who would dip bread in the blood of his enemies. Prince Charles, who is a descendant of Vlad Dracula, probably engages in ritual cannibalism. That doesn't even include pre-christian religions. It's an unsavory topic, pun intended, but it certainly wasn't nonexistent in Europe three thousand years ago.

Corpse medicine was a thing in the 19th century

A brief medical fad hardly establishes a persistant tradition. By the same logic we could point out that the people practicing corpse medicine were christian, and therefore cannibalism is a christian trait.

we also have Vlad the impaler who would dip bread in the blood of his enemies

  1. Based, but hardly cannibalism. More like a badass symbolic gesture

  2. Citation needed. There's all kinds of shit made up about him.

  3. Same problem: He was christian. If he establishes cannibalism as a european tradition then he also establishes it as a christian tradition.

Prince Charles, who is a descendant of Vlad Dracula,

All nobility are distantly interrelated. Are you seriously suggesting he inherited some kind of vampire gene because he's 33rd cousins 10 times removed?

probably engages in ritual cannibalism.

"Probably." I'd love to see you back that one up.

but it certainly wasn't nonexistent in Europe three thousand years ago.

"It wasn't nonexistant" is so broad it's meaningless. Even if one person does something in a three thousand year period then "it wasn't nonexistant."
