Furious Pete is the man when it comes to eating challenges. He’s fucking insane.
Thrawneen, i was reading back on this thread where you were on about what a poor diet you had as a youngfella and didn’t really have a concept of what was bad for you. I couldn’t agree more, i was the very same and i think my parents even would have been a bit naieve about bad food at the time too in that they wouldn’t discourage me from eating crap. To be fair i think we all as a society have a better understanding nowadays of what is good and bad for you as opposed to say 15years as there is discussion now and all sorts of programmes on the tv.
I remember when i was in primary school for example, i can state with 100% certainty that in all that time i never once brought a bit of fruit to school. I never ate brown bread either, it was always white. After school then and before the dinner i would be at the shop buying Mr Freezes, hot lips, banshee bones, dan bars, taz bars etc etc. Not all together obviously but maybe two or three at a time.
In secondary school then my diet improved a bit. I can remember bringing a banana to school the odd day. But at 11.00 lunch break i would always have white ham and cheese sandwiches or something and in the canteen then i would often buy a hot dog. At the bigger lunch break then i used to buy long bread rolls that they would fill with potatoe wedges and red sauce for me and i’d have a can of coke with this. I could buy a 99 then as well before going back to school.
My diet nowadays isn’t great but by god it has improved a lot since then, at least i have a better understanding of what is bad.
Yeah, I was the same as you Dunph. I think generally people didn’t have a clue. My mother fed us all sorts of frozen crap and it was only my father on a Sunday who would feed us anything truly nutritious. Lunchtime in school, the canteen had all manner of cheapo crisps for 10p. We’d have a couple of bags. Even in primary school we’d go up to the shop up the road for whatever crap we could afford. When I got to 21 I started getting fat. A friend of mine who was a trained nutritionist informed that coming in from the boozer and eating a couple of bars and a bag of crisps while watching a late night movie was making me fat. I was clueless. And I think a lot of people still are, unfortunately. I can hardly eat white bread these days, thanks be to god. I’m only overweight from the booze. But at least I know how to shed the pounds when I ultimately decide to do so.
Just flicking through the channels and see this is on Dave so have stuck it on. Can’t help but feel it is a bad idea with me having not ate in a while and was hoping to have the dinner around 6…
I can’t watch that program hungry. If I do I end up having a dirty chipper afterwards.
Right that’s it i’m going out now getting a naan bread to go with my dinner and a cheesecake for afterwards and will be having this fairly soon. :mad:
That show is worse than the ads during NFL games.
And that is fucking saying something.
Was nearly turned of omelettes when I seen him trying to finish a 12 egg omelette. I’d say that damage he does to a bathroom after the challenge is something else, especially those spicy challenges.
Is that a real human being thraw? Fucking hell.
That is not right and cannot be good for your body eating that much fried fast food at that big a quantity and that fast. He gagged a few times and almost got sick.
thats a good post
back in the 80’s when i was in primary school we basically had fuck all like most families and by thursday the cupboard used to be well and truly bare
what kept us going in national school was that we used to get a bottle of milk at the break in the morning, i can remember eating things like marmalade sandwiches and at one time weetabix with sugar on it for the lunch in fourth class i think
in secondary school i used to have a flask of tea or something with sandwiches which was grand, never had any fruit tho, often as well just for the dinner u might just have soup or waffles in the toaster or something.
i used to eat a shit load of bread when i was a teenager and then pasta when i started playing soccer at a serious level, in secondary school i often used to walk the 2 and a half miles home as well, fuck it there was nothing wrong with any of it either, we were healthy out
Like I said, he’s insane. He has loads of videos of this kind of thing. He seems to have no gag reflex or whatever so he can basically just shovel food into his large American gob and swallow it down with it hardly even chewed.
He’s certainly sticking two fingers up to the “chew your food slowly so your stomach will feel more full” brigade anyway.
:lol: I watched some of the other videos-he is a fucking disgusting animal.
The dunph would make a great guest host
Man v Food is an inspiration! Some of the stuff is a bit rotten but in fairness some of the food isn’t all that bad health wise, just big portions, most of it looks amazing in fairness. Saw him eat a 72 ounce steak there a while back, looked gorgeous, I’d love a crack off it!
The show makes me sad we don’t have some more option in the fast food/diner area, to be honest. Some of the stuff he eats looks fucking delicious.
Some of the stuff he eats makes my arse start winking :o
It’s amazing, the portion sizes are insane. Food seems an awful lot cheaper over there too, maybe it’s because of all the agriculture subsidies.
Either way I want a giant steak and some giant sandwiches. :licklips:
Me too. The best pig-out sandwich I’ve had in Dublin is from the Pig and Heifer, but it costs a lot of money, more than you’d spend on your dinner (if you were buying the ingredients). Those Philly steak sandwiches they have over there or in NY look superb and I imagine they’re cheap enough. Chipper food in Dublin is generally rotten and grossly over-priced. Even getting a slice of decent pizza to fill a hole, the only place I’ve had it good is from Ray’s or DiFontaine’s. The stuff they sell everywhere else is a disgrace, no better than a slice of frozen pizza.
Yeah Rays is class. I’m a while gone from Dublin now, will check out pig and heifer if I’m back again. You pay for it here though, over there it seems to be possible to get massive portions and decent enough produce in it for reasonable prices. Biggest steak I ever got was 800g, was gorgeous, no bother getting through it.
