Quote:
Eddy Martfield is an unusual man.

"I just started to put stuff in my mouth."

Over the course of his life time Eddy has discovered over 21,000 new edible foods. He is seen walking around eating whatever he happens to come across.

Daffodils, bugs, roots, dirt, plastic, chances are if you've seen it Eddy has eaten it.

"Most of the stuff I eat isn't edible, I got to take it bit by bit and see how my gut holds up.One time I ate a tarball, I was puking for a week."

"Eddy, what's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten."

"Gosh, some stuff don't have a name, like goos and stuff I find, I ate a queen bee, taste good, I ate some volcanic rock somebody gave me. You wouldn't know it but I felt good afterwords. I'd go so far to say it's good for you."

"What's your least favorite food?"

"I'd say ciggarette butts, don't taste good at all, gives you a nasty stomach ache, can get caught in your throat when you swallow it."

I imagine Eddy isn't very bright.

No, but he's a genius when it comes to food.

That's actually kind of how I got the idea. There was a show called freaky-eaters about this lady who ate cigarrete ash and pottery. I think she may have that condition.

Fancied the occasional light snack?
Sorry, it had to be done.
