Food Consumption. What's Your Personal Best?

What is the greatest quantity of a given food that you have ever eaten at one sitting? I’ll start this grisly agenda with:

20 Taco Bell tacos (can’t do that anymore)

23 Aebleskiver (oversized Danish doughnut holes)

A fifth of Rebel Yell bourbon (only gift I had to open one Christmas)

Once, after backpacking on slim rations for several days (that included getting lost and an unexpected snowstorm) I ate an entire family-sized candian bacon and pineapple pizza, a pitcher of beer, and split a chocolate cake with one of the other backpackers. Mine was one of the modest meals consumed that afternoon.

Holy crap, Zenster, did you eat all that at one time, or is this 3 seperate occasions?

For my 16th birthday, I was taken to Jahn’s Ice Cream Parlor. All the other ice cream tea-totalers at the table ordered the usual cones and sundaes. Not me. I had to have The Kitchen Sink. This is something that normally serves 25-30 people. That day, it only served one.

IIRC, I needed help getting out to the car. I felt like a total slob afterwards, but I’m proud to say that I did not vomit. Oh, but I sure thought about it.

I have two submissions

  1. my first place prize in the “Irving’s Red Hot Lovers” hot dog restaurant HD eating contest-21-1/2 in three minutes. I got a cool little trophy of a gilt, animated hot dog that got lost:(

  2. I once ate an entire Carmens large stuffed sausage, mushroom, and garlic pizza. it was ~18" around and 3" thick—ohhhh!

I’m much calmer now but when it comes to Dim Sum, all bets are off!

I’m with you there Mike! My last Dim Sum tab came to $30.00. And I was the only one at the table! <insert eek smilie here> Dim Sum is one of those perfect foods, like sushi, emminently scarfable and bite sized.

And no, Dire Wolf, each of those events were spaced by as much as twenty years.

I once ordered All You Can Eat snow-crab legs at a restaurant in Virginia Beach. Six racks of legs per platter, three platters: about 75 legs. One more bite, and it would have all been for nothing.

i drank 23 coffees once. i couldn’t keep food down properly for 2 months afterward.

Slight hijack:

Zenster, I don’t suppose you have a recipe for those do you ? Something that someone who is almost hopeless in the kitchen can make. I have a cast iron Aebleskiver pan already* :slight_smile:

*Inhereted from my neighbour, a wonderful man from Germany who was, for many years, the Head Pastry Chef at Scandia in Los Angeles. I can still taste them, warm from the oven with a bit of jam and some powdered sugar mmmmMMMMmmm.

What, lil’ ol’ me, have a recipe? Well I never!
[sup][/Scarlett][/sup]

Of course I have a recipe. I’ll do my best to post it to the recipe thread in the next day or so. All that I ask in return is that you use butter when you make them and perhaps think of posting a recipe to the Ultimate Recipe Thread in the future.

In one evening:

Two tubes of “Mr Cookie Face” Chocolate/Vanilla swirl ice cream sandwiches (thats ten total)

One box of Twinkies.

One Box of Ding Dongs (Those are the hockey puck looking ones, right?)

Two litres of Ruby Red Squirt.

One large order of Carolina Honeys from Tony Romas.

One half order of baby back BBQ ribs from Tony Romas.

Ear of corn.

Couple of rolls.

Baked potato (I think I just had butter in the house and the little dab of sour cream they put on it at the resturant. I did not eat the skin. I just recently started eating the skin and this was years ago.)

One very large glass of red rose tea made with one large bag of mushrooms added. (I had never taken mushrooms before and I guess I took way too much. I also smoked a bit so I don’t know if the munchies came from the mushrooms or the pot.)

This was all consumed while watching the movie “The Bodyguard” over and over again. Also not consumed in order listed, that was just from memory. I do not eat like this any more. I still pig out, but not anywhere near this kind of pigging out. I was very sick the next day and the following two days still, I was in real pain after the drugs wore off and thought I had torn somewthing. :frowning:

wo!

I used to be a barista in college and my standing record during Christmas was only 18 shots and that was well above my mormal 7 or 8 shots a day. You must have been vibrating!

What you tore was your brainstem… It’s all right, it happens to the best of us.

25 Taco Bell crunchy tacos. No lettuce. Got a $.50 taco coupon in the mail. No limit. Jon and I decided to see how many we could eat.

21 standard slices of pizza. Bruce, my old boss, and I, got in an eating contest during lunch one day. I felt kinda full later.

1/2 gallon of eggnog. Nearly puked. Sooooo rich.

1 gallon of ice cream. Many times.

2 foot long meatball subs from Subway.

7 overflowing plates of spaghetti.

2 2 liters of soda.

I know I’ve done some more stupid eating tricks. Lemme think of them.

SH!T OH DEAR Tim! So glad to be able to count on you!

In the space of 8 hours: A 8 scoop, 3 topping, one
banana ice cream creation, 3 orders large MacDonald fries,
an entire popper full of popcorn, five candy bars, and
half a veggie and cheese pizza.

Christmas 1983 I had a two pound box of chocolates washed down with a half liter of red wine. I was so sick the
next day.

Let’s see… at a single meal:

8 White Castle sliders with cheese
1 large bag of onion chips
1 large chocolate milkshake

It’s not that much, I know, but considering that I can’t eat like that since having my gallbladder out. Too much fat.

Robin

Twelve perogies.

On a dare at Wendy’s:

  • One “Great Biggie” order of fries;
  • One “Biggie” soda;
  • One “Ultimate Triple” cheeseburger (3/4 lb of meat).

this was followed by:

  • Six Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers; all of which were consumed in the space of 6 minutes, 45 seconds. (coulda gone faster, but all that bread slows you down)

and immediately afterward:

  • a jog of approximately one-half mile, while my friends followed behind in a car to see if I would vomit. (I’m proud to say I didn’t.)

This is what I eat after my usual long run (12-20 miles),constant source of amazement to the rest of the running club.

2 bowls cereal
1 cup milk
1 bowl fruit
large soda
16 oz fruit smoothie
doughnut
yogurt
piece of cake or pie :smiley:

:eek: I forgot my cereal eating escapades!

Entire box of Mini Wheats (small box) and 1/2 gallon milk, approx. 4 oz of sugar

Entire box of Cocoa Pebbles (med. box) and 1/2 gallon milk

Entire box of Fruity Pebbles (med. box) and 1/2 gallon milk

Entire box of Cinnamon Life (small box) and 1/2 gallon milk

Not exactly a half gallon, but thereabouts. This usually takes about 20 minutes to eat the cereal (multiple bowls) and another 10 to finish all the milk.

Mom won’t buy me cereal anymore. :smiley:

Keep in mind I’m 6’1" and 165 lbs.
