I Love Eating? What's the most you've ever eaten in one go?

Sitting at my keyboard after a massive dinner of roast pork sammiches, McDonalds milkshake, donuts and peanut butter cup, I realised that my massive gut is starting to spill onto my desk.

So, in light of the fact that some of my countrymen are suing restaurants for making them fat, just how fat are you? Are you slim and lithe, or a complete butterball?

And what's the most food you have ever eaten in one go? I ate a massive t-bone steak and huge ice cream as part of a contest once, but was really sick. Can anyone better that?

ALL YOU CAN EAT. such a sweet phrase, yet only 4 words, only 12 letters.

(Bah, now I am reminded that yet again I failed to go to Cargo last night to see Mr Scruff. not this one.)

Not the Manchester Mr Scruff, no. Just a fan.

― Mr Scruff, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

interview in jockey slut, he seemed like a really pleasant man.

― Alan T, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

my friend roo always used to book him to dj at phonic in brighton - says he is a very pleasant man - mky friend andy knows him from manchester and vouches for him - two people vouching for scruffs pleasantness - must be ok in my books - and i like his dj style so why not

Alan you FOOL. My brother went along and said it was great, the best thing about that night at Cargo is if you do their shitty text comp you win a free album aswell. I got FC Kahuna's album when I was there last time. It's a dead nice place, nice beer and cheap in.

Also Mr Scruff is absolutely brilliant.

It's on Rivington Street in Shoreditch. It's a lovely venue, the bar area looks like it should be used as the set for a Swedish porn film of 1974.

― Anna, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

bah.

― Alan T, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

humbug

I am sure one of my mates started DJ-groupie style stalking Mr Scruff round 333 once but this could be a combination of several different memories. I really wanted to see him at Glasto but was confined to my tent with illness so had to make do with listening to the strains wafting across from the dance tent instead.

― Emma, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It was good but I didn't want to dance and my feet hurt all the worse for it after.

― Ronan, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

this is stunning how mr scruff has invaded a foody thread

― born clippy, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Say HELLO to Mr Scruff!

― Mr Scruff, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Mr Scruff is indeed lovely. I used to work at Planet K, where he started his 'Keep it Unreal' night (now at the Music Box). He's a nice man and has lots of good records.

I once scoffed an entire multi bag of Monster Munch with a saucer of Mayonnaise. The old Monster Munch, with the big chunks and the ROast Beef/Smoky Bacon/Pickled Onion axis osf snack might, not the new rubbish.

my then girlfriend hosted a party once. there was lots and lots of food available, which she had made. She is a very good cook, and it was all very tasty. I ate and ate and ate. Then, in an embarrased tone, I turned to my then girlfriend and said "my little tummy is all bursty".

she laughed at me.

awww DV!

My mum and dad used to use 'FTTTTT' (full to't top, tummy touching table) for this.

God, (or 'man', for Nabisco, though I doubt the hilarity is repeatable), it's hard to write/spell that Yorkshire 't' (for 'the'). It's not even a 't' sound, more a kind of glottal stop. It makes me see red when I see it inadequately transcribed in print. Mostly people stick it to the wrong word (ie the one it grammatically precedes, rather than the previous one that it phonetically elides into). Like the evil "fookin'", as if only comedy Northerners pronounce any significant word with a marked regional accent. Grr.

Yay, Mr Scruff was ace at Glasto and I danced like a bit of a bastard.

― Pete, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i remember it well -- i was too tired to dance like an absolute bastard, more like a wimbling shuffler. still he played some lovely stuff. plus his cartoons are great, including ads for "Pie"

― Alan T, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Speaking of food and Mr Scruff, that "Shrimp" track is grate.

― Spencer Chow, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ellie, i'm a tiresome yorkshireman but was always inclined to write it for t'word aftwords, and have never really considered that't gap between words comes after rather than before. nonetheless, whenever i transcribe a southern curse it's always "fack." it's all an exchange. i don't think northerners are a genuinely opressed people.

I've been a food addict since I was a teenager - maybe because I sometimes lived away from home and had to scrounge, thus getting into bad habits. Now whenever I'm invited to a party I want to know, 'will there be food there? what?' Free food is very meaningful to me. I also like to see how many dinners I can have in one night. I've often gone from place to place, and ended up having three. Of course, it's important that you don't seek out the free dinners, that would ruin the game. I also always take second helpings. And if there's ever a ruined meal that others won't eat because it's burned, I find a way to eat it. I've never met anyone who's as obssessed with food - in this sense - as I am. I do think I ritualise it too - I can identify with anorexics who eat only odd numbers of things, or things arranged in a certain way on the plate. I like to eat everything in a very particular way, and that's why I'd rather buy food for someone than share it. Because if, for instance, I'm halfway through my eating 'plan' for a chocolate bar, having eaten around the outside of each piece, and someone interrupts by taking a huge bite, it ruins everything. My friends indulge me on this but I know that they find it irritating and disgusting - especially because I often end up making a huge mess, ie when I want to eat all the inside of a kebab before the pita bread, or the middle of the sushi before the rice.
