Eating feats

[Man of Harveys]

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.

That is unbelievable, what ARE you city sickoes like?

And in the world's leading financial district too - you'd expect better from somewhere with such a long (wait for it..............) pedigree.

Trading floors are notorious, seena few things in my time, although the dog food incident is brilliant....Life in the pursuit of money!

The trainee must have been 'barking' mad!

Come on, you can do better than that Pal.

It is amazing what happens when you put a few hundred over paid blokes in a sweaty office together day after day. The trainees bore the brunt. Saw one lad on work experience carried out on a stretcher after a drinking challenge. He was only about 15! Then there was the lad who was cellotaped to his chair, gagged and striped from the waist down then wheeled outside and left on the street.

A restaurant on West Street called 'Divan' had an all you can eat offer for £2.90. Twelve of us tried to eat them out of business and we got through at least 35 pizzas between us.

We were using the roman technique: eat, then sick then eat

Certain traders racking up a £40k bill at Petrus must go down as some sort of record....although the reporter who knocked on my door the next morning should be given some sort of medal for the feat of having to face me in my jim jams and bed head straight faced!!

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

There's a bloke outside with this week's delivery of the Tarka the 'Otter joke.

Is it all right if he dumps it here?

A group of 8 of us were in the market diner, all with gut busters, and only one person in the 8 liked black pudding, so he dutifully ate his own gut buster with an additional 7 slices of black pudding.

The Market Diner is the PERFECT way to end a night out!

good thread...

I have always been a "big eater" and over the years have often consumed gluttonous quantities of roast potatoes, oven chips, KFC, pizza, etc...

I've never taken part in a formal eating contest but am fairly sure I could do a job in most company - it's good to hear about what the standard is in the various categories...

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Unpleasant memories.

Christmas day 2005. My elephantine Brother in law challenged me to a sprout eating contest! we were both hammered and started betting on how many we could eat, I lost. he ate a whole f*cking litre and a half bowl of the bastards then passed out...the stench when they started to make their way out of him in different gaseous states!

I managed to battle my way through a Pork, Stuffing and Apple sauce baguette, despite being subjected to that Pig porn picture that Looney hosted.
