159 - Tarrare, The Man Who Ate Anything

Do Go On - A podcast by Do Go On Media - Wednesdays

Categories:

In France in the 18th Century there was a man known as Tarrare… and boy could he eat. By the age of seventeen he could eat his own weight in beef. An insatiable hunger led him to become a travelling performer, eating everything from snakes to stones to golden forks. A very funny but sometimes gross story, probably don’t listen to this one whilst eating.
