Eating feats

[Parson Henry]

Just had a conversation in the office.

I recall when I worked in a bank in North St we arranged an eating contest at Al-forno. The task to neck as much spag-bol in a lunch hour.

Being a healthy and growing youth in those days I emerged second out of 8 entrants consuming 4 and a half bowls. The victor being a rugby stalwart and brick built khazi; ahead of me by a bowl.

Needless to say my shirt was the worst for spaghetti sauce splatter wear but I felt I had dun good.

Have you any feats that compare.

12 pink wafers whole, in the gob, in one go, was my feat!!

5 plates at Buffet Island during a food-eating contest.

Very poor by me.

Bloke who won had 11 plates (and then popped along to KFC afterwards for a zingerburger).

4 Big Macs in 15mins for me. Quite enjoyed the first 2 but the 4th was hard work.
Have seen all sorts of challenges on bored trading floors. Watched a 16yr old trainee eat a tin of dog food once. My favourite challenge though is the 4 cream crakers in 1minute with no drinking. Impossible.

I was hoping you had entered and won a hard boiled egg eating contest...

























Cool Hand Lokki!!

I ate a chicken Phal in a Camden Indian once - I like a hot curry but that was a tear inducer and it played havoc with my johny giles the next day

My 14-year-old nephew likes to eat spoonsful of English Mustard, straight from the jar.

Watched a 16yr old trainee eat a tin of dog food once.

Please give us more details - how can anyone do that? It used to make me feel sick opening just a tin of cat food, which isn't half as pungent as dogfood. I'd barf just watching someone eating it. :nesh:

 

[Mrs Coach]

I ate ten chocolate lollypops in under two minutes on the radio once, with Terry Garoghan for an Easter article. Yes, the radio. They told me to try and keep talking whilst I was scoffing. Sod that............there was chocolate still to be eaten!

I was working on a trading floor of 700 or so blokes so you can imagine the crowd that gathered around to watch. The poor lad had been moaning earlier that his salary was too low and was forcing him into debt, so the kind money brokers had a whip and offered him £200 to help him out... as long as he ate a whole tin of dog food on the desk and kept it down (without drinking if I remember right). I think there was a time limit cos he wolfed it down, actually seemed to enjoy it but the floor smelt like a rotting pig for the rest of the day.
After that success it became a bit of a Friday afternoon ritual, challenge the trainee to ever more bizarre eating feats.

4 pies, 5 mash at some dodgy east end Pie N Mash shop a few years back. We use to have a little lunch-hour contest every now and again, but my efforts were not enough to be crowned champion.

Only once?

I've had at least 10 in my life. Was also the first to order one from a resturant in Birmingham.

Did you eat ALL of it?
