Euell Gibbons was the pine cone eaterHickory nuts. ;)
As he received more literary notoriety, E u e l l became somewhat of a celebrity. He made appearances on talk shows (The Johnny Carson Show), variety shows (The Sonny & Cher show), and television commercials for Post Grape Nuts cereal. E u e l l displayed a great sense of humor. At one point, to everyone's surprise, he began eating a wooden plaque awarded him on the Sonny and Cher television show. The plaque was really a prop made out of hard chocolate or some other edible substance.
Euell Gibbons - An expert on natural foods like Cattails ("Yes, they're edible") and the author of Stalking The Good Life, Stalking the Healthful Herbs and Stalking the Faraway Places, Euell Gibbons was once commercial spokesperson for Post Grape Nuts, the wholesome breakfast cereal made of wheat and barley baked into crunchy nuggets and fortified with eight essential vitamins. His famous endorsement included the phrase "It's naturally sweet taste reminds me of wild hickory nuts. I call Grape Nuts my back-to-nature cereal."
