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:<ul><li>Frank Morales </li></ul><ul><li>Philipp Surkov</li></ul>Please support me on Patreon for just $2 a month: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/foodhistorypod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">patreon.com/foodhistorypod</a>-------------------Sources for this episode's research:<a href="https://winstoncupmuseum.com/nascar-and-prohibition/#:~:text=Across%20the%20country%2C%20bootleggers%20had,cases%20of%20liquor%20as%20possible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Beer_Flood" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a><ul><li><a href="https://www.insidehook.com/culture/revisiting-fat-mens-clubs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.insidehook.com/culture/revisiting-fat-mens-clubs</a></li><li><a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/03/07/469571114/the-forgotten-history-of-fat-men-s-clubs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/03/07/469571114/the-forgotten-history-of-fat-men-s-clubs</a></li><li><a href="https://www.sunjournal.com/2020/01/19/when-fat-mens-clubs-were-big/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.sunjournal.com/2020/01/19/when-fat-mens-clubs-were-big/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.antikeychop.com/fatmensclub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.antikeychop.com/fatmensclub</a></li><li><a href="https://husheduphistory.com/post/141904668068/girth-and-mirth-the-rise-of-the-fat-mens-club" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://husheduphistory.com/post/141904668068/girth-and-mirth-the-rise-of-the-fat-mens-club</a></li><li><a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/unusual-clubs-in-history" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/unusual-clubs-in-history</a></li></ul>Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-fantastic-history-of-food--3591729/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-fantastic-history-of-food--3591729/support</a>.
