Today's True Weird Stuff - Mammoth Feast (Airdate 5/16/2025)
In 1901, an expedition team in Siberia discovered a nearly perfectly preserved mammoth locked in permafrost for 44,000 years. Various tales of the consumption of mammoth meat have been around for centuries, but none like the Explorers Club's 47th Annual Dinner in 1951. The exclusive meal was rumoured to have included a host of exotic delicacies, including pieces of 250,000-year-old woolly mammoth meat. It wouldn't be until decades later that examinations of a sample of the meat from that legendary dinner would solve the mystery, once and for all.
