Could you finish this breakfast in half an hour?

wretcheddomain · 15-10-2013 07:19PM #1

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

...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_ · 15-10-2013 07:20PM

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

SV · 15-10-2013 07:21PM

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

Jimoslimos · 15-10-2013 07:21PM

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

15-10-2013 07:21PM

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

Could even throw on four extra rashers.

BBDBB · 15-10-2013 07:21PM

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

AgileMyth · 15-10-2013 07:22PM

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

Renegade Mechanic · 15-10-2013 07:22PM

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

joebloggs32 · 15-10-2013 07:22PM

Sounds like the pat shortt song

Lucyfur · 15-10-2013 07:22PM

Why is there no toast?

I reckon I could eat that

c_man · 15-10-2013 07:22PM

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

€13.95 is great value for a breakfast that size.

dodderangler · 15-10-2013 07:24PM

Easily and id have it with a protein shake.
Throw in some ribs aswell. Maybe a leg of lamb t go with it

Alright Hercules, calm down.

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

Holsten · 15-10-2013 07:27PM

I think I'd be able for it.

I'd struggle with the pudding though.

Goat the dote · 15-10-2013 07:28PM

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

I am pie · 15-10-2013 07:29PM

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.

murrayp4 · 15-10-2013 07:30PM

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

MadsL · 15-10-2013 07:30PM

I could but it involves going to Athlone, so I'm out.

wandatowell · 15-10-2013 07:30PM

Make two big sandwiches and it would be done easy enough. Id have to be starving though

xabi · 15-10-2013 07:31PM

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:
