Painter eyes Guinness, snacking on snake
- Food facT File: 4,000 Reptiles eaten
It is normally a difficult task to satisfy Neeranjan Bhaskar when he is hungry. The reason sounds a bit startling but the 35-year-old man, who is a painter by profession, prefers his plate of snakes.
Well, not exactly a plateful of cooked snake meat, but live snakes, which the man claims to be eating since childhood.
In fact, he eats a snake everyday, claiming the credit for gobbling up more than 4,000 snakes, including different types of cobras and kraits, till date.
Recounting the first time he ate the reptile, Bhaskar said: “It was the rainy season of 1977. I was just about seven years old, a student of Bal Brahmachari High School in Ranchi,” he said in drawling voice.
