Tarrare
​

Tarrare is known as the man who never stops hungry, he can eat anything, even trash and human flesh. Born in France in 1772, Tarrare faced a terrible appetite from an early age and by the time he was a young man, he was able to eat a quarter of a cow, weighing as much as his body. , in just one day. His parents could not afford to provide enough food for Tarrare, so he ended up running away from home.

For a time, he wandered around France as a member of a gang of thieves and prostitutes. Tarrare begs, even stealing anything he can. Finally, he devised a way to attract and make money from tourists by performing acts of eating rocks, eating cork and even animals living on the street. Tarrare even swallowed a large basket of apples, one after another.

Despite eating so much, Tarrare’s body still looks completely normal. He was of average height and a slim build, but his mouth was unusually wide and his body odor was unbearable. The body odor will be even stronger when he eats, one can even see the vapor rising from him. When hungry, the skin around the belly becomes flabby, long enough to wrap around the waist while eating, it will stretch like a big ball. His cheeks, when stretched out, can hold 12 large apples.

Tarrare had joined the French Revolutionary Army but even four times the rations were not enough to satisfy his endless hunger. Because he is so hungry, he can eat anything he can find in the gutter or in the garbage. But all was not enough, he ended up in the hospital because of exhaustion. In the hospital, Tarrare was tested by doctors for his appetite and as a result, he was able to eat the meals of 15 people at once, including live cats, live snakes, live lizards, live puppies and swallow an eel without chewing. With live animals, this guy will use his teeth to rip open the belly and eat the meat from the inside out, then vomit hair and skin.

Also because of this strange disease, he is used by the military to do very special jobs. Like a courier, Tarrare was to be swallowed with a wooden box containing a top secret document, which was later retrieved along with his excrement. After his first successful test, he was rewarded with a wheelbarrow filled with the lungs and liver of a nearly 14kg bull. Tarrare quickly devoured it right in front of the soldiers.

However, when he was officially on duty, he was captured and tortured by the Prussian army. They chained Tarrare in the toilet for 30 hours, finally finding the wooden box. The Prussian general at the time was furious when the classified document turned out to be a “fake” designed as a test for Tarrare. Tarrare was then put on the gallows, but at the last moment, the general decided to beat Tarrare a battle of life and death and then released him to self-destruct.

Desperate, Tarrare then agreed to any treatment that would help control his hunger, but it failed. He would sneak out of the hospital and eat offal discarded outside butcher shops, even fighting with stray dogs in the alleys. He was caught trying to drink the blood of patients and was even kicked out of the morgue because he intended to eat the corpses there to satisfy his hunger. After a 14-month-old child suddenly disappears, Tarrare is the first suspect and he is kicked out of the hospital for good.

Tarrare died four years later of tuberculosis. During the autopsy, it was discovered that his esophagus was exceptionally large, like an unusually large stomach, taking up most of the abdominal cavity. After all, Tarrare is also a pitiful person, because of the torture of hunger, he became an inhumane person.

I poured it into a bucket and dumped it all in a nearby septic tank. The blood in the pot is then frozen, put in the oven to dry, puree and then mix with flour, sugar, chocolate, milk, eggs, margarine and knead all the ingredients together. I made a lot of crispy tea cakes and served them to visiting ladies. Both me and Giuseppe ate them.”

Cacioppo was also asked not to say a word. On September 30, 1940, she visited Leonarda Cianciulli and was also killed.

“I put it in a pot, like the other two… her flesh was fat and white. When it melted, I added a bottle of perfume and brought it to a boil, I was able to make some creamy soaps. I give them to neighbors and acquaintances. The cakes are also better, this lady is really sweet.”
