Bear Grylls

“If it can keep you alive, then eat it.” – Bear Grylls

On the Discovery Channel’s show, Man Vs Wild, the host, Bear Grylls, has eaten many things to display how to stay alive in desperate situations. I have compiled a list of the grossest things I have seen this guy eat.

#10 – Turtle – “It’s never easy to eat what looks like a pet.”

For some reason turtles have never seemed appealing to eat. Although, Bear thinks it tastes like chicken.

#9 – Grasshopper – “I hate that taste of just creamy goo.”

You can read in the Bible about people eating grasshoppers, but this giant thing from the rainforest was intimidating.

#8 – Tree Frog – “One small frog can give you about 3 grams of fat and 75 hard earned calories”

I used to find rows of little green tree frogs under the tarp roof of my childhood playground. I think they liked the cool shade.

#7 – Sheep’s Eyeball – “It’s like chewing gristle full of cold gloop.”

Why does he have to bite everything in half? Gooooo.

#6 – Zebra Carcass – “If the carcass smells rotten, move on, but this meat if fresh.”

I love how he uses his knife to peel back the skin, then he just leans down starts biting away the skin and the meat directly off of the carcass.

#5 – Raw Goat Testicles – “There are parts of an animal, especially when eaten raw, that make even me squeamish.”

Mmmmm. A mouthful of goat sperm.

#4 – Raw Camel Fat – “Experience has taught me to be a little bit weary of Burbar delicacies.”

Some things just look like they smell nasty. Anways, I always cut away the fat from any meat I eat. I hate that texture. I can’t imagine what this must have been like.

#3 – Drinks his own pee – “It’s like warm and it’s salty and it’s not my favorite.”

In a very dire situation, I think I could do it.

#2 – Elephant dung juices – “Not one of the better drinks I’ve ever had.”

Refreshing!

I’m not sure if I’d ever be that desperate to live. I just can’t picture myself looking up with my mouth open while squeezing the juice from elephant shit into my mouth.

#1 – Camel Stomach Fluids – “Drinkable, but truly disgusting.”

Alright, at least the elephant dung was fully proccessed. Here he cuts open the stumach of a dead camel and squeezes the fluid from the partially digested.
