As a student in Coventry circa 2000-2003, I would regularly frequent Express Diner of Gosford Street for their delicious donner kebab. The kebabs were served in a naan, rather than a pitta, so were pretty substantial.

Anyway, for a bet I once ate two large ones in a row. Was delicious.

This thread really needs a rule that you must post a picture of your current waist size along with the how much you've eaten story. :D
I expect that will be a pointless exercise, as many of these stories will have happened years ago (or in my case, decades ago), and we're now all somewhat in a downsizing period regarding the waistline.
Certainly with me, two starters, a full Fatty Arbuckle's mixed grill and a dessert was a reasonably filling lunch in my mid-20s, with a whole 17" deep pan, chicken strippers, wedges, onion rings and whatever else to follow for dinner. In those days 4500 calories a day was just not enough, and I've had so many of these binges I couldn't really pick the one biggest... and yet I still have 30" on the waist and am actually losing some of that, hence not as funny as I'd guess you were hoping.

5 Burger King Whoppers in one sitting...

Used to get them for 99p on the back of bus tickets in Edinburgh.....
Aaah.... University. :D did something similar myself many years ago.

But, it's 3 full roast dinners... each with a mountain of roasties. :D Then 4 portions of cheesecake. :eek:

Las Vegas buffet. Major food baby afterwards.

I've seen some of the challenges and I'm honestly in awe at how much some people can eat in one go.

I hadn't eaten at all today so decided to get a take away for dinner, small chicken doner with small fries and plenty of salad. I finished it but barely.

£7.80 with a drink, honestly pretty great value for an entire days worth of food :p

Was that up near the top end of Far Gosford Street on the other side of the road from Pig In The Middle? I think it was called Big Chef when I was at Uni there (I lived on Grafton Street at the time) and yeah, the food was great.

It was a bit further towards town than that, next door to whitefriars. Fairly sure there was a second one on or near Spon Street too.

Also did great chicken fillet burgers.

When I was younger and I'd try to time my shopping (but probably end up standing there for ages like a pillock) towards closing on Sunday at the supermarket waiting for all the baked goods to get reduced ... I remember one haul making me really happy because I got like 6 packets of those soft cookies for 12p a pop or something (and those were always my favourite), plus a few of those boxes of danishes ... at some point you're not even enjoying it any more and you stop but 5 mins later feel the compulsion to return to gorging...

I think my most impressive was a night on the Guinness followed by a bet that I couldn't eat 2 Corby kebabs.
Those things were a massive nann bread filled with all your mixed kebab trimmings, must have weighed 1.5lb each.

Polished them both off, claimed my winnings and spent it on more Guinness.

No way I could manage that these days.

9 pieces of KFC chicken, with a large popcorn chicken, 4 portions of chips, a large beans, sweet corn and gravy.

A Christmas dinner, fully loaded which included 13 roast potatoes, I was so full I had to nap it off.

The 8 piece boneless feast from KFC. Comes with 8 boneless fillets, large popcorn chicken, 4 large sides, a full dip bar and a big bottle of drink. Insane amount of food for one person.

Just down the street from the Oak, and the Campbell/Phoenix... many a happy memory stumbling to the express diner for cheesey chips :D

I did something similar on Friday night. Three large pieces, four strips, four wings two bags of chips, the bottle of Pepsi and then tried a Maccies fillet o' fish. Then what was left of the bucket was eaten on Saturday morning.. :D

Took the entire weekend of wear off..

Worst I’ve done is 2 large dominoes in a day. But the time between them was substantial so not sure it counts. Not my proudest moment.

Quite early in our relationship, I made a large (tray-sized) apple crumble for me and my wife for dinner. She was full after the main course, and I ate the entire thing myself with a jug full of custard. She still brings this up 15 years later...
