I recently came out of bulk eating retirement to try a 32Oz burger at my local Marstons pub. There was no prize on offer for completing it so I bailed early, mainly because it was not very nice.

probably would need weighing. The quantity places give varies quite a lot, particularly with regards to doner meat.

Someone posted up about it recently, they didn't get the doughnuts.

Anyway the Reds one looks much better, seems to be a "thing" these days though, I'd rather have a decent brioche bun.




As for challenges, I think it's going to have to be something from a supermarket chain to keep it open to the masses, 2 x Family lasagnes or something.

Needs to be a well known chain or if we go via the indy route we need some weigh ins.

I presumed that off the shelf Asda ready meals (as an example) of a certain weight would be standardised.

Must be time for a special kebab mix?

a mix of lamb donner, chicken donner, lamb shish, kofte and chicken shish.

Add a couple of sauces, hold the salad.

Couple of pittas

Away you go?
This

3 challenges in and no kebab? They are mainly the same size country wide or it could be judged on how badly the box closes, always a good sign

Class? You think HRH eats off a panel of wood?

It's just wkerism. "Gastro" pubs serve food on square plates or lumps of wood. fking stupid idea.

Could not agree more. And let's not start on being expected to eat from a slate floor tile

I'm sure they would provide you with a plate once you inform them of your geriatric age. Failing that Harvester have good plates wink

Sorry, I don't see how boards and tiles are superior.

I watched the Furious Pete video on this one last week, the food isn't an issue I don't think, it's those damn milkshakes - that said we'd have more chance here thanks to ours being smaller. The main downside being you have to eat ste McDonalds food so it's not even enjoyable while you try and complete the challenge, especially once the burgers cool down.
