    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.

    What about this one from Tonys bistro cork

    * 8 Horgan’s Irish sausages
    * 6 smoked rashers
    * 6oz sirloin steak
    * 4 hash browns
    * 4 slices of Clonakilty black and white pudding
    * 2 fried eggs
    * 2 scrambled eggs
    * 2 bowls of chips
    * 3 fried tomatoes
    * 1 bowl of baked beans
    * 1 bowl of sauteed mushrooms
    * 1 bowl of fried onion rings
    * 6 slices of toast
    * 3 slices of soda bread
    * All washed down with a bucket of tea or coffee
    * The monster breakfast is €29.95, but is free if you finish it.

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

    Without a shadow of a doubt :o 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?:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭Abigayle


    No way.

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

    B) 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.

    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.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    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


    I don't like the pudding or hash brown's, so if there was a way to substitute it for something else, (4 fish fingers for the hash brown's, extra mushrooms and sausages for the pudding), then it wouldn't be a problem. Also, swap the tea for a coffee.

    People are doing it wrong anyway by bringing water with them. Water just fills you up quicker.

    I think even watching someone trying to get through the Cork 'challenge' would make me spew.

    Cut out the bread mushrooms pudding chips and tomato and it sounded tasty, from op


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 915 ✭✭✭hansfrei


    Chips, white pudding and musherruums are ghey and should not be let near a breakfast. I can't even begin to understand "hash browns".

    Meat, eggs, blood, tea and toast. Proper breakfast.

    Because it is pathetic?

    Run a marathon, climb a mountain. Massive physical effort, adrenaline rush, reward for all the hard training and effort.

    Maybe if you are the sort of miserable moron who can get that pleasure from eating too much it works? I dunno, obviously for the cafes it is great chea advertising so hats off to them, but the gluttons who try it are fuckwits.
