man who could eat anything

Tarrare unfortunately was never correctly diagnosed and for that reason never received the proper treatment to alleviate his suffering. However, the miserable life & tragic end of Tarrare’s will forever stay etched in the human mind, as the man who could eat anything. The above-mentioned quote of the famous 19th century, French novelist and playwright, portrayed the thoughts of many people, that they have about an excessively greedy eater. Just a year before Honore de Balzac was born, a Frenchman showman and soldier died, who could surely be considered as the world’s greatest glutton, in the history of mankind.
