https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarrare "Tarrare (c. 1772 – 1798), sometimes spelled Tarare, was a French showman and soldier, noted for his unusual eating habits. Able to eat vast amounts of meat, he was constantly hungry; his parents could not provide for him, and he was turned out of the family home as a teenager. He travelled France in the company of a band of thieves and prostitutes, before becoming the warm-up act to a travelling charlatan; he would swallow corks, stones, live animals and a whole basket full of apples. He then took this act to Paris where he worked as a street performer. ... ...he agreed to submit to any procedure that would cure his appetite, and was treated with laudanum, tobacco pills, wine vinegar and soft-boiled eggs. The procedures failed, and doctors could not keep him on a controlled diet; he would sneak out of the hospital to scavenge for offal in gutters, rubbish heaps and outside butchers' shops, and attempted to drink the blood of other patients in the hospital and to eat the corpses in the hospital morgue. " I bet some of you seasoned (  ) chefs would LOVE to try to fill this guy up with your heartiest meal, so what'll it be?

Maybe some food that expands in the stomach once ate? Would it be possible to do something with yeast to make that happen but still be somewhat edible? He sounds like he would be a fan of Steak-Juice (not water) though.

I remember watching a film years ago about communist china in the early 20th C and there was a scene where a guy, having been starved half to death, desperately eats stacks of bread rolls with hot water to drink. He is later hospitalized as a result, since the bread swole in his stomach and distended it...

If it distended this normal dudes stomach it'll fill the big boy we're dealing with up a little I'd assume. Least till he BM's.

As I remember his history he was suffering from a very specific mental disease, and when died he was basically a puss-filled bag of ulcers, so I guess I would mainly feed him on milk derived products (high ph), rotted cheese (penicillum) and a very filling, non harmful diet of phyllium husks boiled to a porridge.

Oh totally it was just a jumping off point for how the nicer food could be prepared in similar fashion. Least on the dessert end of things maybe. Sounds like the dude had pica as well.

This is still a question of minimizing caloric intake, while dealing with his cravings (as far as I remember it wasn't his feeling of being sated that was damaged, but rather that he had cravings for stuff that was highly abnormal and damaging) - I would try to do so by still keeping him over fed on phyllium husks, and subsequently try to replace his cravings with something that to him would, seemingly, be as nutritious as the diet that he did crave. Alternatively I would train him from young to eat leaf celery, and get it eradicated from the planet, because gently caress that poo poo.

From the wiki it sounds like he just had insatiable hunger and nothing would fill him up which is why he ended up resorting to eating "offal out of gutters" there might be other things he could've been trained to eat too - wasps maybe starting to feel like this guy was a real missed opportunity for some social justice

I don't think pica is associated with meat tbh.

When I'm faced with an audience of nearly unlimited appetite and extremely limited taste, I find cacio e pepe works every time. If they demand meat, aglio e olio where the "olio" is bacon grease. If you have a separate bathroom, various coconut oil heavy "no bake" cookies or just plain flourless tortes work well too.
