[Humour] Just how (food) greedy have you ever been...?

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I'm very good with the snacks. I don't buy chocs and crisps and remove temptation.

My downfall is portion size. If ever my wife is out for the evening then I would say I'm eating a family meal by myself. I ate two bowls of spag bol that I knocked up. Worked out after that I had technically had 6 'portions'.

I beg my wife not to leave me. Not for the whole 'love' stuff. But because I'd get really fat.

I'm 6ft 4 and 14.5 stone so actually OK

I was 13 stone when I went away to Uni and was 17 stone by the end of the first year. That says it all really.

Used to spend a day or two a week in Birmingham for work. One night, heading home, there was a bloke just outside New Street station selling huge bags of butchers’ pork scratchings for £2. I don’t mean plastic, these were large paper bags. Bought one intending to take to my mate’s poker night two days later. By Watford Junction there wasn’t a single crumb left.

That would have sent me into a tail spin, sat on a train next to someone munching their way through a skip load of pork scratchings!

Sandwiches are my downfall. If there is a whole platter in front of me I'd easily eat about 3-4 sandwiches, in 'quarter' triangles

My dear wife, Mrs OW, is a food scientist and we don't get a great deal of "comfort" food in our house, she even prepares meals for when she's away. Now, I see this as an opportunity for a little delve into the dark side! It's like a military operation.

Two bin bags, one for the naughty gear and the other for pretending I've eaten the "lighter" offerings.

On one night I'll have my favourite meal; chip shop chips, chinese chicken curry, sweet and sour prawn balls, with sauce, and special fried rice. I always look at this and think I can portion this into three to four meals, which I could, but somehow, over a period of a few hours or so, it all slowly evaporates!

Excellent, same as me, except I'm only 5' 6"!!!!

[Whitechapel]

I ate nearly a kilo of pork belly slices with Nando’s BBQ rub on the other day, with a portion of chips and then I still made room for dessert afterwards

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

As a 15yr old, I once ate a whole 12 pack of Monster Munch in one go.
Crisps have been my downfall ever since...

[MENTION=27279]dazzer6666[/MENTION] would have thrown me out of the window.

In my defence a) I only intended to have one to try and b) this is not quite yer overstuffed Southern rush hour tin box. A ten car Virgin train which is normally half empty after Coventry. There can't have been anyone within three rows of me.

Missed a chance to use the past participle of defenestrate!

Chez Dede pizzeria, Pornichet some time in mid 90s - polished off a snail pizza after a gym session...and then ordered a second one much to the amusement of my French pals who by then were contemplating brandy and gauloise

Two lobsters and two New York steaks on formal night on board a cruise...started with escargot and finished with creme brûlée and baked Alaska , washed down with two bottles of New Zealand sav blanc.

I have very poor will power so will eat the entire of whatever- I have in front of me. give me a small fun bag of maltesers, lovely, give me a family box - I will gobble that bad boy up. family packs, multipacks, extra large pizzas etc

I tried to buy food for work in advance to save the daily expense of the co-op, so on a Monday I would eat 5 bananas, 7 bags of crisps and probably all the ham so dry bread for the rest of the week.

I am currently chomping through a large bag of mint imperials until I inevitably shit myself

When I was about 5, I went to a kids jelly and ice-cream party. I was a proper piglet in those days and within 5 minutes of getting there, I had spied the table spread with the usual party treats, so I proceeded to "escape" from the up coming party games and scoff as much as I could from the table.

It wasn't long before I was complaining of feeling ill with a stomach ache. My mum had to come and pick me up approximately 20 minutes after she had dropped me off.

Jesus - THIS.

 

[Questions]

My wife used to work nights when the kids were young and that would mean a large spliff and then basically parking my chair by the fridge in the kitchen. I remember eating about a kilo of cheddar one night and numerous bags of cheap market crisps.
I felt like shit for 3 days - and got bollocked for being greedy.

Does cheese really give you nightmares though ?

back in the 80s I went to Porto with a friend. It was very poor there at the time. We were starving so in a restaurant we just pointed to what we though was a starter and main. Four huge plates of food appeared. We felt bad about wasting anything so made ourselves eat the lot (with several bottles of wine). I didn't think I'd ever eat again after that.

I avoid Twiglets because I just can stop eating them if I start

I would say about 1000 calories in total there at least.

I invited a rather atractive girl to my flat for dinner many years ago.
I decided to try and impress her with my culinary skills and made a chicken chasseur that afternoon from scratch, all the ingredients, including a good white wine.
When it was cooked I thought I would give it a little taste to see if it was ok.
It was bloody brilliant with an exceptional taste, I ate the whole lot in a short time, it was so good.
I had to knock up a spaghetti bolognaise quickly before she arrived, l really struggled to eat it when she got there.
