Attempting to tackle the 'super-sized' fried breakfast

[ukaviator]

As part of his investigation into why British people are on average nearly three stone (24kg) heavier than 50 years ago, Jacques Peretti attempts to eat what is thought to be one of Britain's biggest fried breakfasts. A reflection of the rise in popularity of super-sizing food, Jester's diner in Great Yarmouth serves a breakfast that includes 8 eggs, 12 rashers of bacon, 12 sausages, potatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, black pudding, beans and 12 slices of bread. It is called the "Challenge Kidz Breakfast" because it weighs the same as a small child, around 9lbs.

They have a place in Las Vegas, and someone did actually have a heart attack in there recently.

 

[Bang!]

Quite sad really! I now want a kebab!

 

There is an error at the start which I presume you copied in.

 

Three stone is 42 pounds, which is roughly 19kg, not 24kg.

What a shameful waste of food - and what an obscenely greedy attitude people have lately!

 

I know a couple who regularly go to the USA, at least once or twice a year - just so they can "eat as much as they want" in huge portions such as this! And then comes back to the UK and calls everyone who is either overweight or in a mobility scooter a "greedy b******d"

 

Oh the irony

Quite agree, DW. Makes me feel quite sick at the thought of it, really.

What a shameful waste of food

 

This is part of the reason why I go to buffets instead. I can choose how much I want. A starter isn't always enough and a main is usually too much.

[Nystagmite]

Is that breakfast, or breakfast, lunch and dinner?

[hilaryfrances]

these challenges are disgusting, lots of peeps do not have enough food for one meal, you could feed a family on these portions
