and i quote

WHAT is believed to be Burton's biggest breakfast butty has been made by two women in a town centre sandwich bar.

Debbie Robinson, 40, from Stapenhill, who owns Rumbletums in New Street, had her biggest and most unusual order yet when a customer walked in and ordered a 'gigantic breakfast sarnie'.

The man, who was with his son and daughter, ordered a huge sandwich which consisted of a staggering eight slices of bacon, four sausages, three eggs, four portions of mushrooms, half a pound of cheese and a whole can of baked beans on a huge unsliced white loaf. The monster snack cost £9.50.

To start the sandwich, Debbie and a colleague cut the loaf into three sections horizontally and placed the cheese on the bottom two halves before putting it into the oven.

Then the eight slices of bacon and four sausages were cooked on the griddle along with the mushrooms and three eggs, while the beans were cooked in the microwave.

The mammoth butty took 15 to 20 minutes to cook and was taken out of the oven to put it together.

On the bottom half, four slices of bacon, two sausages, and a handful of mushrooms were stuck to the cheese.

The second layer had the other four slices of bacon, two sausages, two eggs and the rest of the mushrooms then place together with the top of the loaf wedged on top.

Debbie said: "When the man walked in and ordered that we started laughing - we thought he was joking. We kept asking him if he was serious and his daughter replied 'honestly, my dad has them all the time and cooks them himself at home'.

"I've never made anything so big before and the man had to tell me which way he liked the bread cutting and specified what he wanted and where.

"The size of that would have easily fed a family - I don't know how anyone could possibly eat a sandwich that size."

Rumbletums colleague Jenny Seth, 61, from Henhurst, who helped make the beast, said: "In my 15 years of catering, I've never seen a sandwich that big.

"We thought he was joking - but obviously not. It looked like two bricks from a house."

we need to train Tanya in the art of making these...

Heard about this on the radio this morning. Apparently there's over 5,000 calories and more than 100 grams of fat in it!

Cathmandooo

Less bread, more bacon!

Thats other-world-ly

And still hours away from lunch

*tut tut tut*

Let's get a sense of perspective here.

8 rashers, 4 sausages, 4 portions of mushrooms, 3 eggs, 1 tin of beans and a half block of cheese.

That's just a good sized fry on bread, instead of a plate.

Such snacks are common weekend fare in chez trout. Hardly newsworthy. :cool:

May God [FSM] help anyone without a gas mask or decontamination suit within striking distance of the person who eats it.

+1 on that. You can only buy Superquinn sausages in packs of 6 or higher. Surely that is a serving suggestion you should adhere to.

Was eating lunch at work today and saw this in the paper. After seeing this, I was looking at my food and seeing how uncool it was.

I think it's worth a trip to get one of these Sandwiches.

What are these words? If you can't speak anything other than gibberish I suggest you post elsewhere.

Superquinn sausages = not real sausages

butchers shop > supermarket every day of the week, every week of the year!

What are they on about, that thing was only half done there was no black and white pudding, no potato starch i.e. hash browns, wedges or chips, no tomato, and most important of all, no mention of half a bottle of brown sauce. Someone needs to take that man aside and explain to him to get his priorities right if he is ordering a proper breakfast roll.

Kur4mA

I dont even understand how he had a full loaf of bread cut into 3 pieces and containing only 4 sausages?!? I'm no mathematical genius, but how could he even ration that out???

This thread hurts my brain. A little help brothers?

Superquinn sausages are, without doubt, some of the best sausages available. Go fantastic between two slices of bread, and in a fry.

In theory. Communism works, in theory.

Superquinn sausages are simply outstanding. Better than most butchers.

All other supermarket sausages = muck.

I can only assume that Grames Bond has never actually eaten a Superquinn sausage...
