Well there are people that dedicate themselves to competitive eating.
Check out this guy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeru_Kobayashi
He's done 17.7 lb of cow brains in 15 minutes, and 20lb of rice in 30 minutes.
His speciality is hotdogs, with a record of 69, but I'm not sure how much they weigh. 13lb of solid food in an hour probably wouldn't even challenge Kobayashi.
Well I said I was happy to be proved wrong! I'm sure in statistics he'd be considered an outlier.
I've eaten some big meals. I did a Fatty Arbuckles one many years ago and won a T-Shirt and had a photo taken for the wall. I did feel incredibly sick afterwards. I went to the pub but could only manage to sip water. The killer was the 2 pints of ice-cream they brought as desert. The menu didn't mention how big that was.
I've also done a breakfast not far off the size of that one in the Mail. Again, it wasn't pleasant. A darkened room, a bed and water were what was needed about an hour after. The appeal of doing it is to see the look on the staffs' faces. They see loads of people try and fail, they're genuinely surprised to see someone stupid enough and capable of these kinda challenges.
Neither of these had a time limit. Though I have drunk 10 pints of 5%+ lager in an hour. That does require some vomiting. My stomach isn't large enough otherwise. Too much froth. I'm thankful to say my days of participating in such shenanigans are well and truly over.

I've done that, without vomiting.
Quite keen to do that burger challenge I linked to above. I think I'll make a smaller one at home as a test run.

Not so much vomit as froth coming from mouth, nose, probably my eyes and ears. I reckon I could do ales. Stella and Red Stripe are too gassy for me.
I've done 12 pints in an hour, 3 yard glasses of ale (5.4%) and a few necked pints.
My stomach is solid for liquids, I neck 4-5 pints of water when I get home from a night out to prevent hangovers so it's used to it.
I consumed nearly 20 pints of home brewed ales of various strengths that night and fell over countless times on the way home, brewing society socials are dangerous.
What is hard to drink in large amounts though? Custard. Try downing a litre of custard without throwing up.

Really.....?
You must be one massive/ fat b*****d.....
If not that is impossible....
There's a new challenge at Ad Lib in Glasgow.
3lb’s of Aberdeen Angus beef;
3 beef tomatoes;
2 onions;
1lb of cheese;
and a giant bun.
£35, free if you finish it in two hours. Tempting, very tempting...
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY... then give me it back because I'll get it done in 2 hours. May die but **** happens.
I'm 6'6" and 20 stone (part muscle, part fat), and when I was growing up basically all there was to do in my town was drink.
That isn't the record though, over a 30 hour session I put away 34 pints. I did eat 3 times during the session, bready/ greasy stuff though which sobers you up a lot, so it depends whether you count eating as cheating, we drank early morning through to early afternoon the next day.
It's not good it's bloody expensive! I'd prefer to have normal alcohol tolerance.

Oh yeah no doubt. He probably started off being able to eat more than most, and then trained his abilities to push himself even further from what's considered normal.

i found it on google: ramon's cafe.
oh and here's a pic.
i wouldn't like to attempt that in 30 mins. that's a silly amount of bread/potatoes on the side.
i wonder when they started doing that, the biggest they did when i was last there was 'the gut buster'
this may warrant another trip down!
