How much can you eat?

Luke82 said:Mr Lone Wolf, your story brought me many chortles. I especially liked the Henry VIII at a Toby Carvery moment, out of respect I will ask your permission before I add it to my own repertoire.

Competitive eating does exist, you can even make a living at it, and it's dominated by smaller competitors!
As a teen, our local steakhouse briefly did a free-if-finished 48oz rump with the usual sides. They had to stop, though, because I was eating for free .
I can't match the sort of feats Wolf speaks of, though I've done all the usual two-large-pizza things in my time. I could probably manage that breakfast, though I wouldn't enjoy five tomatoes, and five fried slice plus five toasted is a bit much for anything other than glory.

I genuinely enjoy most foods, especially those which are meat based. Not much of a sweet tooth mind, but I've tucked some pudds in my time.

Just going through my twitter images, and stumbled across a few of these beauts...

Sharing platter for 2 in "The Smoukehaus" in Cardiff a few years ago.

Before-

The chips went cold, and were pretty grim at that point. I was sat direct under an air con unit though, but I simply didn't enjoy the chips so left them.

This is one of my faves, a fry up at a hotel buffet. My partner got very embarrassed when I ordered this. I actually think I showed restraint as I wanted to order more.

The fry up was very enjoyable, and I polished off the kids and partners left overs too. Which in my mind is normal?

I agree mate. It is normal. it also instills the important value of never wasting thier foods.
Fine parenting.

Thanks mate. My kids know the rules.
I remember taking on a sharing platter in Bodeans a few years ago, can't seem to find the pics though. I ended up leaving some as I'd been for a hug KFC a few hours before hand as I was so hungry. That KFC back fired on me and I fell at the last hurdle of chips.
Fell asleep on the train home too in a meat coma.
I went back a few years later and conquered it with gay abandon.

KFC and a mini fillet burger washed down with a bottle of coke is one of my achievements, albeit nothing compared to some of you boys lol

I can eat a lot, but sometimes it is situational.

Many years ago, at a pizza hut buffet I consumed 47 slices, but they slices are not uniform, so some are tiny and some are big.

Again, in my teens, 8 and a 1/2 whoppers with cheese from Burger King. The glory days of bus tickets having buy 1 get one free on them. For those wondering why I finished on a half, it was because I had run out of cash and my friend couldn't finish his last whopper, so I did.

12 big macs with the buy 1 get one free bus tickets too.

In recent times, 12 McDonalds double cheese burgers was a decent effort.

I often enjoy eating sharing platters in restaurants, like Bodeans for example. Always causes a stir when I order... sir, you know that is for sharing etc. Idiots!

Sadly my goal of a PIB's PB this year not attempted due to a stomach bug.
