Chicken brain diet of man, 111

AUSTRALIA’S oldest-ever man has said eating chicken brains has helped him live more than 111 years.

Retired cattle rancher Dexter Kruger has marked 124 days since he turned 111 – a day older than First World War veteran Jack Lockett was when he died in 2002.

Mr Kruger told the Australian Broadcasting Corp that the weekly poultry delicacy had contributed to his longevity.
