Catharine de' Medici. If not for her love of good food and hatred of traditional French cuisine (not the haute cuisine that everyone thinks of when they think of French food or the stuff appropriated from everywherethefuckelse, but the traditional French dishes, such as boiled beef and boiled ham and boiled everything else), France would be worse than the UK when it comes to culinary reputation.
If not for her becoming Queen Consort, French cuisine as we know it today would simply not exist. The French would have no baguettes, no crêpes, no bechamel sauce and wouldn't even use butter much at all!

Tarrare. Always Tarrare.

On another occasion Tarrare was presented with a live cat. He tore the cat's abdomen open with his teeth and drank its blood, and proceeded to eat the entire cat aside from its bones, before vomiting up its fur and skin. Following this, hospital staff offered Tarrare a variety of other animals including snakes, lizards and puppies, all of which were eaten. . .
