Give me cheese or give me death!
preferably not the latter
Never competed, but I ate 12 perogies once.
Alos three bowls of liver dumpling soup.
Ain’t nobody can eat 50 eggs.
Fried fish. There’s a nice buffet restaurant in Indiana called The Pines which has good roasts, good fried chicken and fan-freakin’-tastic fried fish. I have to sample all the meats, but I only go back for the fish.
They also have the BEST persimmon pudding!
Macadamia nuts.
Anything. Back in the day I would astound guys 30 lbs. heavier than me by casually finishing four pounds of french fries and fish sticks (two fully loaded oven trays), not because I had a bet on or anything but simply because I wanted to. Three big pizzas and a 1.5 l soda consumed during a lunch break at work was fun, too, at a bodyweight of 140 pounds and body fat barely in the two-digit zone.
Almost anything I like. I’ve kept even paces with a guy two-and-a-half-times my weight at an all-you-can-eat rib place, washing it down with beer. If I ever get to an all-you-can-eat all-desserts place, I’ll put them out of business. I can burn through over 1½ kg of candy by myself, and I’m a 60 kg guy. I don’t often do these things, which is why I’m still a 60 kg guy, but I can.
corn on the cob.
I could eat it all day, hot, buttered and salted.
Raw garlic.
Chocolate. I don’t have an off switch. I’ve had friends complain about the effects of a single chocolate bar on their stomachs and pulse rate, and I just stare at them like they’re speaking Farsi.
It’s somewhat better when I stick to dark chocolate, because the more intense flavor is more deeply satisfying, but in the right mood, I will clean out all the chocolate in the house and start thinking about the nearest source for more.
Mmmm, chocolate.
Olives.
And tonic water, if you want to include liquids.
I can eat a lot of chips, but I’m sure there are people who eat more.
Where I really shine is in eating salsa, as hot as possible. I have been known to go through five containers in a single sitting.
I’m another for deviled eggs. Never can get enough.
Hmmm, I might have to make some of those today…
Also, ice cream sandwiches. With the chocolatey cookie and vanilla ice cream. Blue Bunny are my favorite. Those are dangerous.
And Snickers Ice Cream Bars.
And Mountain Dew. I have gone through a case in a few hours playing Dungeons and Dragons.
Gummy bears. Or worms. Or peach rings, or sour patch kids, or swedish fish, or anything with sugar and gelatin. I don’t even notice I’m eating them, I just keep dipping my hand in the bag and go. Even after the stomach ache sets in, I keep eating. One Christmas Day I got the second and third Harry Potter books (I was twelve, I think) and I finished a solid two pounds of gummy bears by teh end of the day without noticing that I kept eating while reading. Wow.
Cured black olives
Crab
Olives- yes! My daughter loves them, so we open a can almost every night with dinner (for the salad). I could put a handful in the salad and eat the rest of the can without blinking, if I let myself.
Pickles and sauerkraut, too. Anything brined.
Popcorn, especially real theatre stuff. In fact, I’m sitting here with a freshly popped bag of Orville Redenbacher’s as we speak.
As I get older, I find myself less able to stuff myself with some foods that used to be no problem. Chocolate and gummy candy were fair game. I remember a couple of Christmases ago I would play Final Fantasy XII and eat a 1 pound bar of really good dark chocolate over the course of a couple of days, just mindlessly breaking off chunks and eating them. When I visited Halifax, I would go to the Freak Lunchbox and buy $20 worth of gummies and eat them all in a day. That would make me sick now, although it’s probably better for my ample waistline.
But popcorn, that is another story. Mmmmm…
Deep-fried shrimp, oysters, clams, scallops and calamari – I’ve never had enough of any of 'em, and can’t quite imagine enough of the first two.
Chocolate truffles
Biscuits and gravy.
Mexican smoked pork chops – given the chance I am sure I could eat more of them than anyone.
Reese Cups
Samosas
Chorizo
Chinese BBQ pork.
Crab cakes
Al pasor soft tacos.
Morels, chanterelles, oyster mushrooms, shiitaake mushrooms or Chinese straw mushrooms.
Oyster stew or New England style clam chowder
Those little torpedo-shaped fried things made out of mashed spiced potatoes that that lady cooks up and sells fresh every night on that one street corner in Oaxaca, with guacamole and that weird brown stuff to dip them in
Proper corned beef
Crab legs, and I proved it a couple years back when my boyfriend’s employers took the whole crew and their dates out to the Crab Shack.
Kulfi – again, I’m sure I could prove it if I ever got a chance!
Chili con carne
Brie. Stilton. Danish bleu. Camembert. Razor-sharp white Vermont cheddar. Port-Salut. Kasseri. And Aloutte garlic-and-herbs spread.
Fresh ripe strawberries.
Roast duck won ton soup
Carnitas.
Coco Puffs with pplenty of cold milk
Szechuan tofu – the only way to turn that stuff into actual food
Those butterflied grilled chickens they sell on the street in Pochutla.
Watermelon.
Pakoras
Chocolate covered almonds
Venison stew
Olives
Brown Cow vanilla yogurt
:dubious: Oh yeah?! Yer on!!1!
I have an extra stomach reserved especially for fried shrimp.
