Hmm. I know how to say that in Japanese. Don't know if it would come out right to convey the fullness of the meaning.
However, I COULD just say: "I ate him." That requires only one word. And for added emphasis, I would just conjugate the verb "to eat" into the past regretful tense... So the figurative meaning would be: "Regretfully, I ate him."
I like that!
