53 - Fat Men's Clubs
Friday, 10 May, 2024
For as long as so-called civilised societies have existed, equally uncivilised clubs and groups have sprung up within them, allowing their members to revel in all sorts of weird and wonderful excesses. In previous episodes we have heard about secret food clubs with a goal of eating every type of animal on earth. Todays story may not be so different, although this clubs members were’nt so picky about reaching any particular goal other that just eating every type of food they could get their hands on.-------------------Thank you to our 2 brand-new supporters:Frank Morales Philipp SurkovPlease support me on Patreon for just $2 a month: patreon.com/foodhistorypod-------------------Sources for this episode's research:https://www.insidehook.com/culture/revisiting-fat-mens-clubshttps://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/03/07/469571114/the-forgotten-history-of-fat-men-s-clubshttps://www.sunjournal.com/2020/01/19/when-fat-mens-clubs-were-big/https://www.antikeychop.com/fatmensclubhttps://husheduphistory.com/post/141904668068/girth-and-mirth-the-rise-of-the-fat-mens-clubhttps://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/unusual-clubs-in-historyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-fantastic-history-of-food--3591729/support.
