This Man Will Eat Anything for Fame

Algerian Salim Haini, alias El Akoul (The Eater) who claims he can eat light bulbs, candles, sawdust, nails and over 1,000 boiled eggs in one sitting is rearing to get his name in the record books. Haini is the eating champion in 30 wilayas (provinces) across his country and told Reuters that he once ate two barrels of olive oil in one go, 40 loaves of bread, and 75 bowls of chorba (Algerian soup). He also devoured an entire roast lamb weighing 35 kgs. The unemployed Haini’s hunger pangs got him into trouble when he sneaked into his uncle’s vegetable patch and chowed down on 50 kg of lettuces.

Watch Haini do his thing below or go to LiveLeak.

Stakes are high in “I eat odd stuff” competition and Haini has some way to go before topping Frenchman Michel Lotito, who over the years, has tucked into 128 bicycles, 15 supermarket trolleys, six chandeliers, two beds and a pair of skis.
