Have you ever consumed anything larger than your own head?
To qualify:
It must be reasonable to describe it as a single item in its own right (‘meal’ is not an item - it’s a collection. ‘Giant Burger’ is an item)
No liquids or semisolids
We’ll assume you have a really big head, so the item must be >5.5kg(12 pounds). High volume lightweight foods don’t qualify.
I made myself a whole chicken with stuffing/sides/etc, but ate that over a period of several days. In a single sitting, it would probably have been a 24oz Porterhouse smothered with mushrooms and onions.
I’m pretty confident I could eat a watermelon the size of my head (edible parts only - no rind or seeds) in a six hour period but I’ve never actually tried the experiment.
I used to know a guy who worked in a bakery. He was huge and he loved fresh bread. I watched him eat an entire loaf of fresh bread (with butter) out of the oven. Would that count?
I’ve definitely eaten half of a huge watermelon so it was probably close to the size of my head. My cousin and I used to cut them in half and sit with a spoon to eat while talking. High on my list of favorite summertime activities.
I haven’t, but my great-grandmother Laura would get these attacks of fruitiness when she was pregnant. Back then, oranges were sold by tens, a group of ten tens being a “gruesa”, a big one: while pregnant with my grandfather, she once bought a gruesa of oranges and ate 99 of them - another time, she ate a whole watermelon which if I’m not missing my unit conversion between Aragonese and Imperial units was on the 18lb range.
There are times when I wish I could eat something like that, but then there’s that voice at the back of my head that says that’s wrong and society will shun you forever if you eat a bowl of Red Lobster Shrimp Alfredo the size of your head..
When I was a binge eater, this was a daily thing for me. Things I can remember eating in one sitting include an entire large cheese pizza, a huge bowl of popcorn, a gallon of ice cream, many, many cookies, and god knows what else.
12 pounds of watermelon is about 11 pounds of water, so about a gallon and a third.
That’s a lot of water. Would it fall afoul of liquid and semi-liguid being excluded? Does jello count since it is also water suspended in a solid matrix?
If I had to guess, I’m sure that I have eaten, in a six hour period of time a quantity of food that put in a pile would have been bigger than my head. But I’ve got no specifics to mention.
Well, I was starving after a lobster node setting so I made a 7 litre casserole of hunter’s chicken stew. I ate it all between 6PM and midnight, though admittedly not in one sitting. I also had some garlic bread and three pints of beer.
Yeah, I wasn’t in any shape to actually go fetch the lobster nodes the morning after.
