Could you finish this breakfast in half an hour?

wretcheddomain

Just saw this thread on Breaking News. Basically, Murphy's Law bar in Athlone challenges folks to eat the following in less than 30 minutes...

- Four slices of brown bread
- Four rashers
- Four sausages
- Four (big) cuts of black pudding, four of white
- Four fried eggs
- Four grilled tomato halves
- Four hash browns
- A Bowl of beans
- At least half a bag of chips
- Fried mushrooms
- Tea & Biscuit

http://www.breakingnews.ie/discover/gbkfaukfgboj/

...and if you succeed you get the breakfast for free or else you've got to shell out €13.95 for it.

Only one person has succeeded thus far but I'm pretty confident I could make that #2 to be honest...can't be that hard.

Do you think you'd be able? :P

Esoteric_

I wouldn't be able to eat that in a full day!

SV

I couldn't, but only because beans are absolutely rank.

Jimoslimos

Might....if the tomato halves weren't there.

Lose the beans, mushrooms, and tomato and you've got a yes.

Could even throw on four extra rashers.

BBDBB

make it white bread and give me a night on the lash beforehand to prepare myself and you got a deal

AgileMyth

Whatever about the rest of the ****e in that breakfast, mushrooms are disgusting and for that reason I am out.

Renegade Mechanic

Id certainly take a decent shot at it! Beans would be a struggle though...

joebloggs32

Sounds like the pat shortt song

Lucyfur

Why is there no toast?

I reckon I could eat that

c_man

The chips are too much. It's fine otherwise :pac:

€13.95 is great value for a breakfast that size.

dodderangler

Alright Hercules, calm down.

Honestly..no bother at all, wouldn't need 30 min. :rolleyes:

Holsten

I think I'd be able for it.

I'd struggle with the pudding though.

Goat the dote

I don't drink tea so I'm out for that reason!

I am pie

I'd ask them to throw a pint in and some tayto for dessert.

Excellent value - worth giving up at the start and then calling two friends to join you for a cheap €4.65 brekkie!

One lad did it already.He had a gastric band fitted a few years ago ,so must have a death wish.

Chips are the enemy here. They have photos on the facebook page that show the scale of the challenge.

I was gonna say yes just from reading the contents of the breakfast, but jaysus, when you see it on the plate it's A LOT of food to swallow in 30 minutes. I'd make a brave effort all the same :pac:

In fact, when you look at the images on FB, it looks like they pile on even more! :eek:

God I despise those eating challenges where they have a load of morons standing around cheering on the fatletes in their monumental efforts to stuff themselves until they vomit.

Dim witted stuff.

You need to look up Furious Pete if you're calling them fatletes.

I wonder how many retards have tried that and inevitably failed.. does the €30 even cover the cost of the taxi to A&E?

Ihatecuddles-old

Without a shadow of a doubt Ugh I could eat it in 15 minutes Id say.

When I make breakfast its 4 rashers, 2 sausages, 1 egg, tomatoes, mushrooms, about 6 slices of pudding and 2 slices of bread. And I eat it in about 5 minutes.

Since when has steak formed part of any breakfast fry?

Abigayle

No way.

A) because there is for more than I can handle and

There is mushrooms and black pudding on it, and I can barely stand a few beans


That place is promoting heart attacks..

You'd be doing well if you finish the toast.

Ridiculous breakfast

Madness. Most people would struggle with the plate of bread let alone the rest of it.

I don't mind places that have signature eating 'challenges'.. but as wretcheddomain said, that's just taking the piss altogether. Wasteful as fcuk too. Someone could call it quits after a bowl of chips and a few bites of the steak and the rest would be thrown out =(

Seems less about the 'fun' aspect of it and more about blatant money grabbing.

It's the onion rings and chips I can't understand.

With the likes of that you're better off just forking up the money straight away and splitting it between 4 of ye, Works out decent value then for a monster feed.

bnt

Stay at a hotel with a free breakfast buffet, and see what happens to your appetite in the mornings, eh? That's what you pile in so you can avoid paying for lunch, maybe even dinner that night.

bigroad

The cork one is a defo no no way but the athlone one i think i could do it.The athlone breakfast is good value .I have eaten half the althlone breakfast in under 15 mins.If im passing ,i will pop in and have a go.
