The Milo High Club | History's Great Gluttons

Livers of pike, brains of pheasant and peacock, tongues of flamingoes and entrails of lampreys, anyone? Just some of the delights on offer at some of Ancient Rome's finest feasts. The appetites of the emperors pale in comparison to some of history's other great gluttons, though: the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Charles Darwin's Glutton Club, and the strange and terrible tale of Tarrare – perhaps the closest thing in history to a real-life hungry ghost.
