Gluttony & Competitive Eating

I once did: 68 paracetamol + 49 sleeping pills in 2 minutes (washed down with a litre of Brandy).

I say once, it was 10 minutes ago.

Everything is slowing down now.

I should probably point out that I've done no such thing. It was merely a jape! Jape! (sorry I mean "Well Jokes Yeah?").

I've had a glass of red wine tonight though. A whole glass! And a Vimto!

Competitive eating is silly. I tried it once by eating a load of McD Pocahontus burgers (yep film tie in, so quite a while ago). All I got was a lighter wallet and felt a bit sick. I only beat my mate as he ran out of money.

Are you a conservative politician?

Eating thread and I don't get a mention. DTM. I'm off to merge all the food threads.

Hmmmm ...

Ate 7 of those in 1/2 hour in Frankfurt airport whilst waiting for the plane. That was at a leisurely pace though, reckon I could do 12-14 if the heat was really on.

Now all you need is another 12-14 Olympics that hippy loses and then you can do it.

He's probably just a wealthy burgher.

Obviously 11 Subway footlongs would have been far bigger, and since you have to design them yourself, cleverer.

At college we had an 'eat your own height in Subways' challenge. I managed it once in about 90 minutes. Felt dreadful for a couple of days.

My friend threw up in the sink in the Subway bathroom. /classy.

i do hope you are smaller than hippy otherwise a 5ft sub is pretty good going !

I'm about 5,9 so it was just shy of 6 foot longs of my choosing; the Subway Melt, toasted, no salad or dressing, to keep the weight down.

The friend went for the Steak Melt which was far too heavy.

6 subs doesn't sound so bad, 6 foots worth sound so much more

it's like the old kilo of feather and kilo of lead issue ... well of course the lead is heavier !

Meanwhile in Africa..

the all-you-can-eat special on severed heads was going down a treat.

1 & a half 16" pizzas. Back in the college days though. I'm not sure I could do it now. Also, it wasn't a challenge. I just REALLY like pizza.

hell even in africa, nairobi to be precise, there was a great indian at the top of river road that did all you can eat for less than £1, i often had trouble walking out

Worked in an icecream hut during summer hols at Uni, basically ran the place and was in charge of noting any 'wastage'. In one 6hr shift, on my own, this included 11 Magnums, 6 packets of NikNaks, 4 cans of Fanta, every coffee from the machine twice (16 cups) and a Mars Bar. Needless to say, felt pretty shit afterwards, especially after the caffeine rush from the coffee which felt like I was coming up on E. Had to go and lie down on a strategically placed sun-lounger out the back.

We also used to drink Slush Puppy syrup shots (about 50ml of pure sugar) to see what it would do. You're meant to mix the stuff 5 to 1 with water, so after 2 or 3 shots of it you start finding your inner Wilford Brimley.

And I presume everyone has tried achieving Wizard Status whilst boozing, right?

I sometimes eat live spiders.

It's just to watch people's reaction. Honestly, just try it.

The McDonald's challenge used to be eating the menu, i.e. one of everything off the menu. That was before the menu was expanded to include all that weird stuff like salads and fruit.

yeah but how many can you get down in 1 sitting / 1hr ?

Not a big eater but I work in a coffee shop and did 22 espressos over 2 hours. Not cool, ended up pretty paranoid and twitchy.

When I was at school, a friend of mine sucked a whole mushed up sausage through a tip top straw, followed by rolling a portion of chips into a tennis ball-sized lump and eating it whole.

Those were the days.

No-salad days

My wife and our friends have a thing called 'Harvey Day' named after the day Brian Harvey ate too many jacket potatoes with tuna mayonnaise and then ran himself over.
We've been meaning to do it for a couple of years but currently stands at
My wife: a 12 egg omelette
Me: 4 Vienetta
My mate: 2 boxes of Potato Waffles

Oh fuck I need to talk Mrs Glover into something like this, but it's not going to happen, she gave me shit for days for eating a 1kg family tiramisu. Hot damn to I love tiramisu!

Caffe Caldesi's one, OHH MY!

Thanks for the tip, I'm on it

5lb burrito

Munched down at least 5 packets of these once. After a while acidic foam exudes from your nostrals.

Gives you the shits too, all that peppermint
