Hot wings. Just keep 'em coming and I can eat close to two or three dozen in one sitting. ---

Cheap nasty American beer. But I once ate 3 dime store hotdogs and a Big Mac and a pitcher of pink lemonade within the space of an hour. That was an interesting night. ---

In my experience - anything. It’s rare that I find someone who eats as much as I do. For example: My usual order at Mickey-Ds is two double-quarter-pounder with cheese meals. Sometimes I’ll get 3 - 5 double cheeseburgers (plus fries and/or a crispy-chicken sandwitch) to spice it up. If I feel like eating healthy, I’ll only get one or two burgers plus the salad with bacon & chicken. When we go to local cheese-steak place I get the 12 inch cheese-steak plus the double cheeseburger, plus onion rings.

Apparently many people become nauseated after only one or two hard boiled or deviled eggs. I don’t know how many I could eat, since sense and reason have always prevailed, but I don’t get sick of them, so I could probable eat more than most people. ---

Reese’s peanut butter cups. I could eat pounds of them in a single sitting. I would eventually feel really sick but if I am not careful about rationing them out in appropriate serving sizes I will sit and eat an entire halloween sized bag of the miniature ones and not even realize it. ---

Anchovies, pickles, olives, hot peppers…basically anything that most people would consider a condiment or relish type thing, I will eat like it’s just regular food. Capers, pickled anything!..salsa (by the jarful!) ---

I worked with a human stomach. We went to an all you can eat chicken place. He ate 17 large chicken breasts. ---

Oysters. Especially the smaller, sweeter Kumamotos. I’ve never been able to eat enough of them to get my fill, as they’re too expensive to order by the hundreds. ---

Anyone in the world, or anyone I know? I can eat 10X the hot pepper anyone I know can, easy. ---

Roast or boiled potatoes. Keep them coming. The boiled ones covered with generous dollops of butter. ---

I don’t know how many I could eat, since sense and reason have always prevailed, but I don’t get sick of them, so I could probable eat more than most people. This is my answer, too. I’ve never reached my limit on deviled eggs. ---

Crab legs. The time it takes to get them ready to eat is apparently exactly how long it takes for them to clear my stomach and make room for more. ---

Chips. If there’s chips around i’ll eat all of them unless i make a conscious effort not to. I’ve never found the upper limit to how many i can eat yet, i always run out before that. I don’t even keep them in the house because they won’t last. Last time i bought four large bags full intending to try and make them last the week but ended up eating all of them in one night. ---

Non guilt? Cucumbers. The little kirby ones. Also really ripe cherries. Guilt but eat anyway? Rasinettes and Goobers. ---
