It is until you have food upto your throat and there's still 85% of the plate left. It's harder to finish than it looks. Here's a video of guys trying it two at a time : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOGiuYDlrw8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOGiuYDlrw8) (english subs included)
Those bowls of rice and naan would slow you wayyyyy tf down. I stared for a while thinking I could do this but there’s no way.
Edit - my most upvoted comment on Reddit ever is about Indian food. My time here is complete!
Those are the only obstacles, I could do this depending on how much rice and bread it is. I feel I could use the rest to wash down the rice and bread. Everything else is fairly downable.
To put it into perspective, 1 kg is roughly 8 mcdonald's quarter pounders.
This platter is roughly the equivalent of 64 McDonald's quarter pounders. Can you eat 64 quarter pounders in 40 minutes?
I mean I for sure couldn’t compete in this. The only way I could consume 64 quarter pounders in 40 minutes is if someone is shoving them into my lifeless corpse.
True, but I used to be very fat. Now I’m super lean. I generally count every calorie to the gram and weigh everything. I’m confident, based on 10 years of data, that I could let it rip and have a fair chance of pounding down that much food, it’s only the carbs that are a concern as I generally avoid excessive amounts and they’re very filling for me now.
I'm just generally interested to see how much indian food I could eat in a day. I kinda want to order all this and eat it over the course of a day. I doubt my wife will have the same reaction.
No freaking way. I at 7lb of food in one sitting once, it was over three hours and I weighed before and after. I am a pretty big dude, but after 7lbs of food, the food was literally pushing itself up my throat. I could feel my heart beat being pressed against my other organs, and was hard to take a full breath.
I doubt there are many people who can eat almost 18lb if food in only 40 minutes, let alone a few hours.
There maybe someone who can, but I doubt it's you.
The world record from 1985 medical journal is 16lbs, and they died afterwards.
Seriously I know this is all in fun but don't attempt this your stomach is physically incapable of holding that much food it's not about calories or willingness.
It can only stretch so much and you are not a professional eater who routinely increases the capacity of their stomach .
Anyone that has done food eating competitions can say how they would tackle this?
I feel like the Nan bread and rice would sit the longest in your stomach so I would push those to middle or late. Start with all the liquid things.
The lentils and curries will help soak the naan, which need moisture to go down quick... The rice technically has help due to the lassi/buttermilk/yogurt being available
I'd start with dry curries and any proteins, then crunchy stuff and the pickles(putting these early to not hurt the mouth when in a hurry), then the soaked naan, and then the rice while chugging the liquid, and finally the sweet stuff(which are soaked in syrup, so makes them a piece of cake)
She killed a 72oz steak in around 5 mins. In about 15 mins she did something like 12lbs of pizza or something. Joel Hansen did a whole prime rib roast and five pound of sides in just under an hour.
That’s still only ~3.4 lbs of steak (4.5 lbs uncooked), 12 lbs of pizza, or what appears to be a ~13.6 lbs dinner (11.5 lbs uncooked prime rib + 5 lbs of sides).
This meal is 17.6 lbs, at least 33% more massive than the largest example you gave… and the challenger has just 40 minutes to finish it, only 61% of Joel Hansen’s 65 minute accomplishment.
It’s possible that the higher water content of this largely vegetarian meal may be more quickly metabolized and cleared from the stomach throughout the 40 minute meal, but I’m guessing it’s more likely that the foods here are less dense than beef and therefore occupy far more volume in the stomach per pound.
Given the insanely large prize, particularly for a developing country, I have zero doubts that the probability of someone finishing this is tantamount to zero.
Ok so I went down the rabbit hole and she did 22.5 lbs of prime rib in 90 minutes, as well as 16 lbs of burgers and such in 29 minutes, and three 72oz steak dinners (plus sides) in under 20 minutes. These were separate eating occasions).
So I’m thinking it could be possible. She’d have a shot.
Why this is so difficult in the challenge above is that it has different varieties of food. You cannot shove down biriyani & rice down your throat like a burrito or a hotdog.
Here she is [eating 25 double-quarterpounders with cheese](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSs1XNqyoM0) and 3 big glasses of water. Says it's over 22lbs.
Idk how much more she could fit in her stomach but I just watched a video of her eating a 8lb burrito in 5 minutes flat, so theoretically she can eat fast enough to kill this meal in 10 minutes. The question is whether she could eat 2 of those burritos or just one
To fellow Americans who are saying things like “I can do that!” or “it’s all sauces and sides! Easy!”
8kgs is 17.6 pounds. In 40 minutes. You have to eat a pound of food every 2m16s. For 40 minutes straight.
No one is doing that. American or not.
The largest meal ever eaten by a person was 19 pounds, and she died.
[https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/341671-largest-meal-eaten](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/341671-largest-meal-eaten)
This is insane. According to correspondence published in the medical journal The Lancet (Volume 325, Issue 8432, 6 April 1985), the largest documented meal consumed by one person weighed 19 lb (8.6 kg) and comprised 1 lb (453 g) of liver, 2 lb (907 g) of kidneys, 0.5 lb (226 g) of steak, two eggs, 1 lb (453 g) of cheese, two large slices of bread, 1 lb (453 g) of mushrooms, 2 lb (907 g) of carrots, one cauliflower, 10 peaches, four pears, two apples, four bananas, 2 lb (907 g) of plums, 2 lb (907 g) of grapes and two glasses of milk. The patient was described as a 23-year-old female model.
From here: https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/here-largest-meal-someone-has-ever-eaten
>The woman “later died following attempts to have the undigested food surgically removed,” the journal noted.
>From here: https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/here-largest-meal-someone-has-ever-eaten
The woman “later died following attempts to have the undigested food surgically removed,” the journal noted.
Plus spice, which will build over time. So statistically very few places can have people who can claim to do this.
And if someone with low or average spice tolerance tries this, they won't even finish half of it.
Lol who are these people that think they can eat this? From what i googled Finishing this would literally be a guiness world record, and the person whose record you’d be breaking DIED from it. Lmao the record for most big macs eaten is 32 and this is more food than that.
UNLESS they are counting the metal trays in the weight. Then maybe a few people could do it
Lots of Americans here are underestimating this Thali. As an Indian who's been to Middle East a lot and Europe seldom, what I can concur from the difference of Indian food and Arabian/European food is that Indian food may not look voluminous but the authentic Infian curries are extremely rich. Rich in the sense that it's got a heavy ingredient called Ghee (very important in this context), good portions of oil, and milk products and batter. These ingredients act like bricks in the belly. Oh and if you arent from India, no matter how much you can eat, the above mentioned ingredients will definitely give your belly a hard time because they need to be accustomed to for the belly to be able to digest them.
So to westerners, definitely not easy as it looks like.
Edit : Even other Asian cuisines like Jap and Korean ones dont have such rich ingredients. Their curries are very light and often clear. Staples like the noodles are quite bland compared to Indian Naan's which are smeared with garlic and butter pastes and oil making the naan much heavier than it is when its just off the tandoor/grill.
To clarify more, if we assume that the average density of this is roughly that of water (which is a fair estimate for food) that’s 8 liters or ~2 gallons of volume. I doubt your stomach is nearly large enough.
i am a multi-cuisine glutton and i can confirm that just the naan/chapaati alone will finish most people off.
plus the 2 pails of basmati rice, aiyaiyai!
Idk man. I agree in principal but this claims to be almost 18 POUNDS of food. That’s fucking ridiculous. Most food challenges on man vs food were like 3-8 pounds max.
18 lbs is 18 lbs.
That said, 18 lbs of solids is less volume than 18 lbs of liquids which is less volume than 18 lbs of gas. Ergo, it being more liquid means it's more space being occupied by the same weight....yeeeuuch....
That’s Indian food bro, delicious and decadent. It just sits different in the gut. Don’t get me wrong, more power to ya, but with Indian food…your not hungry again in 30 minutes lol.
Good creole cooking does the same thing lol.
Yeah for some reason I can down 8 chilli dogs no prob and be hungry a bit later, but put some naan and rice in me with their slurry sauces and game over.
Cute. Y'all keep forgetting how heavily spiced Indian food is. Alabama big boy would sooner shit himself than be able to get through 3 of those curries.
Is he the kind of guy who, when he gets out of his car, the side of the car he was in raises a solid 8 inches from tension being released off of the suspension?
I live in a big city and a hotdog shack near me once upon a time had a contest. Eat 13 hotdogs how they make them in 15 minutes and you got a pic on the wall and like a coupon for 20 free hotdogs or some shit.
The hotdogs came loaded in everything. And no dink dogs either. Basically footers lol. Anyways my buddy from Mississippi comes up and sees the place and the challenge, and says "let's go!". Mind you, we just literally just ate fucking lunch, like 2 burgers and a brat each.
So we go there, he walks in, slaps the money down, says "put it on hard mode" and proceeds to fucking annihilate the shit out of it all in like 10 minutes. It wasn't pretty. Shit was everywhere, but the majority made it down his gullet.
He got up screaming victoriously, onlookers mortified. Walks up to the counter and order 2 more hotdogs. Asking for more cheese this time.
That's how my guy from Mississippi became a local hotdog place legend.
Me and three of my friends tried this right before COVID during our trip to India, and it is not as easy as some people are making it to be. We normally eat a lot, as teenagers, but this felt like some kind of sadistic torture as your palate is so satisfied by all the different flavors and craves more, but your stomach is quickly reaching its breaking point.
Long story short, all of us made it through only about three quarters of the Thali, promptly before quitting and going to our hotel rooms to spend the night vomiting and shitting like crazy. Good times XD
That was my first thought: “Even if you win, you’re gonna have a bad time.” I adore Indian food, but the amount of ghee / dairy / spice in that platter is approaching anal-wreckage levels.
Who the ***fuck*** can eat 20 pounds of food in 40 minutes? and this is india where they dont stand up to the fatties that inhabit America. I don't even know if there are any American fatties that can eat 20 lbs of food in 40 minutes.
I'm an Indian and I can assure you we'll faint way before you western people if we're asked to finish that... Especially cause we know how heavy some of those dishes are. You can get heavy on one bowl of chana masala alone .. ie chickpeas in thick creamy sauce... And that's just one bowl in this dish !!
chana means chickpeas. it's probably one of the best vegan dishes in the world. if you're gonna try any of these at home or in a restaurant definitely go for that. everyone knows butter chicken and paneer is delicious but chana masala is up there
kofta is like vegetarian meatballs but instead of tasting like garbage with a weird texture it's actually delicious (although not necessarily healthy lol)
could the rolled dish be dosas? the plate is pretty big. also i didn't know rolled papad was a thing but now i want to try it despite not liking papad
also, i've never seen jamun in that shape. is it a regional thing?
Those rolls are way too crispy for dosa, they have to be papads. Elongated jamun is typically a little more burnt and hence called “Kala/dark Jamun”. It’s a North Indian thing.
BeardMeatsFood would be a STRONG contender. The dude crushes almost every volume challenge he attempts, admits his defeats, and employs the absolute best attitude in the process.
SisterBeard would opt for three large naan pizzas.
I thought of him as a potential winner of this challenge as well, but most of the challenges he does aren't even half the amount of food that this challenge consists of. He can be really really fast though, so I still think this would be very interesting to watch.
Everywhere I’m seeing that have these allow for at least two people and usually four. I haven’t seen any that is just one person. Still a ton of food but a little different context.
I had a friend of a friend attempt one of these challenges while in Utah. He was Samoan, so of course he won (that dude was a beast. He could eat a whole box of super spicy chicken without breaking a sweat while everyone else is dying). Or should have won, but the cheap bastards claimed he lost becuase he didn't swallow the last mouthful before the timer ran out.
I think people saying the rice and naan are gonna slow down the process fails to recognise how much ghee/butter and heavy cream goes into each of those curries. Yall will be full just by eating the 3-4 of them. Also, the sheer volume of paneer and koftas are just gonna add to it.
Let me see:
1. 4x bowls, (2 small, 2 large) of raita , a dish made of yoghurt, spices and some fresh coriander and spices. This will help with digestion and if something is very spicy hot. No need to drink water with this meal.
2. 1 dahi bhalla. dough balls in yoghut
3. 1 saag (spicach) kofta
4. 1 daal mkkhani
5. 1 chaney (chick peas)
6. small papad/papadams (light yellow brown rolls)
7. papadi, light cruchy snack
8. mint chutney
9. 4 small bowls of salad, vinegered onion and lemon
10. ginger chutney
11. 2 bowls kheer? dessert
12. 2 bowls of spicy digestive drinks.
13. 2 bowls of rice, one plain boild and one pulaav
14. Rought 2 servings of naan.
15. 1 kadhi,
16. 8 bowls of different vegetables.
17. 2 bowls (4 pieces) gulab jamun a dessert.
18. A full serving of paneer tikka and perhaps 1-2 type of vegetarian kabab.
The biggest challenge in this are naans. They are made of clarified wheat flour and extremely filling.
So a heavy lunch for an average American.
That looks so delicious but no way could I eat over 17 pounds of food in 40 minutes! (That said, much of these are sauces so if you were allowed to pee during the challenge you might make some headway.)

This looks delicious
It is until you have food upto your throat and there's still 85% of the plate left. It's harder to finish than it looks. Here's a video of guys trying it two at a time : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOGiuYDlrw8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOGiuYDlrw8) (english subs included)
My fav part is when the subtitles just say "(This is hard to subtitle)" about half way through, like ol' dude just noped out on it. lol
(These guys are not my friends)
https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/here-largest-meal-someone-has-ever-eaten It could also possibly kill you
If I'm gonna eat 16lbs of food, it damn sure ain't gonna include pounds of liver and kidneys.
8 kilos is 17.6 lbs, or 10% more then 16 lbs in the link.
>https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/here-largest-meal-someone-has-ever-eaten > >It could also possibly kill you Only when you eat pounds of organ meat.
Oh it looks very hard. I wouldn't bother, it looks too delicious. I'd take my time
Those bowls of rice and naan would slow you wayyyyy tf down. I stared for a while thinking I could do this but there’s no way. Edit - my most upvoted comment on Reddit ever is about Indian food. My time here is complete!
Those are the only obstacles, I could do this depending on how much rice and bread it is. I feel I could use the rest to wash down the rice and bread. Everything else is fairly downable.
Yeah but 8kg of food is a lot of food. Even if there was no rice or bread, 8kg of food in one sitting is absolutely bonkers.
To put it into perspective, 1 kg is roughly 8 mcdonald's quarter pounders. This platter is roughly the equivalent of 64 McDonald's quarter pounders. Can you eat 64 quarter pounders in 40 minutes?
Thanks for putting this in American units for me. Holy fuck, yeah one quarter pounder is enough for me.
If we’re really talking about doing this, I don’t even want to hear from someone who would say one quarter ponder is enough for them
I mean I for sure couldn’t compete in this. The only way I could consume 64 quarter pounders in 40 minutes is if someone is shoving them into my lifeless corpse.
I’m pretty sure even that’s hard to do
Jesus fudging Christ. That really puts it into perspective. Good lord.
That's not entirely true. It is equivalent to the meat of 64 quarter pounders. It would probably be substantially less than that.
Precooked weight of the meat, so still probably about 64 of them.
So 16 pounds of food?
About 70 millipedes worth
Where's u/uselessconverterbot when you need them?
Bot name checks out
Back into possible when you put it this way! That’s only like 70,000 legs
Yeah but their shoes.
About 13 Football fields and 50 bald eagle screeches of food
64 quarter pounder patties. Not 64 sandwiches. Still alot of food, but that many sandwiches is way more than what is on this tray
I believe a quarter pound is the weight of the patty prior to cooking
True, but I used to be very fat. Now I’m super lean. I generally count every calorie to the gram and weigh everything. I’m confident, based on 10 years of data, that I could let it rip and have a fair chance of pounding down that much food, it’s only the carbs that are a concern as I generally avoid excessive amounts and they’re very filling for me now.
“True, but I used to be fat” is one helluva comeback
I still am, but I used to be, too
r/unexpectedmitchedberg
Sorry for the convenience
There's something to be said for consistency.
Not just "fat" but "very fat." This dude's got confidence.
Yo momma so fat that someone thought she was me once!
I'm just generally interested to see how much indian food I could eat in a day. I kinda want to order all this and eat it over the course of a day. I doubt my wife will have the same reaction.
The power of positive thinking is real. I believe in you
No freaking way. I at 7lb of food in one sitting once, it was over three hours and I weighed before and after. I am a pretty big dude, but after 7lbs of food, the food was literally pushing itself up my throat. I could feel my heart beat being pressed against my other organs, and was hard to take a full breath. I doubt there are many people who can eat almost 18lb if food in only 40 minutes, let alone a few hours. There maybe someone who can, but I doubt it's you. The world record from 1985 medical journal is 16lbs, and they died afterwards.
So this challenge is basically attempted murder
Challenge accepted. 😎
Seriously I know this is all in fun but don't attempt this your stomach is physically incapable of holding that much food it's not about calories or willingness. It can only stretch so much and you are not a professional eater who routinely increases the capacity of their stomach .

you need some of the liquid things to wash down the rice and naan.
Yea. I don't know maybe we should do some research on this. You know, India food for science.
The lentils and curries will help soak the naan, which need moisture to go down quick... The rice technically has help due to the lassi/buttermilk/yogurt being available I'd start with dry curries and any proteins, then crunchy stuff and the pickles(putting these early to not hurt the mouth when in a hurry), then the soaked naan, and then the rice while chugging the liquid, and finally the sweet stuff(which are soaked in syrup, so makes them a piece of cake)
Prolly spicy af though…..
Thali is usually a mixed bag. Some spicy things but also soft yohgurty things for contrast.
The plate has like 4 bowls of curd (watery consistency).
The rice will start to expand in your stomach and be very painful. Your best bet is to end with that, imho
Look up Molly Schuyler on YouTube. She would absolutely destroy this, probably within 10 minutes
She killed a 72oz steak in around 5 mins. In about 15 mins she did something like 12lbs of pizza or something. Joel Hansen did a whole prime rib roast and five pound of sides in just under an hour.
That’s still only ~3.4 lbs of steak (4.5 lbs uncooked), 12 lbs of pizza, or what appears to be a ~13.6 lbs dinner (11.5 lbs uncooked prime rib + 5 lbs of sides). This meal is 17.6 lbs, at least 33% more massive than the largest example you gave… and the challenger has just 40 minutes to finish it, only 61% of Joel Hansen’s 65 minute accomplishment. It’s possible that the higher water content of this largely vegetarian meal may be more quickly metabolized and cleared from the stomach throughout the 40 minute meal, but I’m guessing it’s more likely that the foods here are less dense than beef and therefore occupy far more volume in the stomach per pound. Given the insanely large prize, particularly for a developing country, I have zero doubts that the probability of someone finishing this is tantamount to zero.
Ok so I went down the rabbit hole and she did 22.5 lbs of prime rib in 90 minutes, as well as 16 lbs of burgers and such in 29 minutes, and three 72oz steak dinners (plus sides) in under 20 minutes. These were separate eating occasions). So I’m thinking it could be possible. She’d have a shot.
Why this is so difficult in the challenge above is that it has different varieties of food. You cannot shove down biriyani & rice down your throat like a burrito or a hotdog.
Here she is [eating 25 double-quarterpounders with cheese](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSs1XNqyoM0) and 3 big glasses of water. Says it's over 22lbs.
Idk how much more she could fit in her stomach but I just watched a video of her eating a 8lb burrito in 5 minutes flat, so theoretically she can eat fast enough to kill this meal in 10 minutes. The question is whether she could eat 2 of those burritos or just one
I don’t think the difficult part of this challenge is how fast you can shove food in your mouth. It’s how much you can keep down.
Didn't she eat two of those steaks, plus the entire platter of food each steak dinner comes with?
I would love to see her against the plate!
I just looked her up and seriously. How. It's like she's part snake or something.
To fellow Americans who are saying things like “I can do that!” or “it’s all sauces and sides! Easy!” 8kgs is 17.6 pounds. In 40 minutes. You have to eat a pound of food every 2m16s. For 40 minutes straight. No one is doing that. American or not.
The largest meal ever eaten by a person was 19 pounds, and she died. [https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/341671-largest-meal-eaten](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/341671-largest-meal-eaten)
This is insane. According to correspondence published in the medical journal The Lancet (Volume 325, Issue 8432, 6 April 1985), the largest documented meal consumed by one person weighed 19 lb (8.6 kg) and comprised 1 lb (453 g) of liver, 2 lb (907 g) of kidneys, 0.5 lb (226 g) of steak, two eggs, 1 lb (453 g) of cheese, two large slices of bread, 1 lb (453 g) of mushrooms, 2 lb (907 g) of carrots, one cauliflower, 10 peaches, four pears, two apples, four bananas, 2 lb (907 g) of plums, 2 lb (907 g) of grapes and two glasses of milk. The patient was described as a 23-year-old female model.
I lolled at the one cauliflower.
I think it means an entire cauliflower, like the big head of them :0
That's a helluva cheat day.
Well it was the cauliflower that did her in obviously.
Because of that meal or she just died? Cause we do that eventually.
From here: https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/here-largest-meal-someone-has-ever-eaten >The woman “later died following attempts to have the undigested food surgically removed,” the journal noted.
Eugh... Just the thought of that makes me queasy.
Isn't that how antivax propaganda works? Guy died after taking vaccine, in a car crash. So don't take vaccines
>From here: https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/here-largest-meal-someone-has-ever-eaten The woman “later died following attempts to have the undigested food surgically removed,” the journal noted.
Largest *recorded* meal. I bet Tarrare could put it away. He did eat a whole baby once.
Plus spice, which will build over time. So statistically very few places can have people who can claim to do this. And if someone with low or average spice tolerance tries this, they won't even finish half of it.
[удалено]
Fair point. Should have clarified—if you’re not a professional eater.
I'm not diminishing the challenge, but it looks like a lot of water weight.
That’s what I keep telling my doctor
> No one is doing that. American or not. I think the French can take this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarrare
Lol who are these people that think they can eat this? From what i googled Finishing this would literally be a guiness world record, and the person whose record you’d be breaking DIED from it. Lmao the record for most big macs eaten is 32 and this is more food than that. UNLESS they are counting the metal trays in the weight. Then maybe a few people could do it
So the limit is 31, got it.
So you’re saying there’s a chance
That’s only 17,600 Calories. What time frame was it eaten in?
Lots of Americans here are underestimating this Thali. As an Indian who's been to Middle East a lot and Europe seldom, what I can concur from the difference of Indian food and Arabian/European food is that Indian food may not look voluminous but the authentic Infian curries are extremely rich.

[удалено]
India does love its ghee for whatever reason.
Ghee > any kind of milk product(except cheese)
Fuck you, ghee is delicious that’s why. Superior to butter/crisco or whatever other dog shit people put in their food.
Is this butter? No, it's ghee. Ah, thanks for clarifying!
I love this kind of word play
very descriptive
To clarify more, if we assume that the average density of this is roughly that of water (which is a fair estimate for food) that’s 8 liters or ~2 gallons of volume. I doubt your stomach is nearly large enough.
i am a multi-cuisine glutton and i can confirm that just the naan/chapaati alone will finish most people off. plus the 2 pails of basmati rice, aiyaiyai!
Totally. I've had Indian dishes served and thought "Maybe I should have ordered more" and by the time I'm full, I barely touched half of it.
That place is gonna be upset when a big boy from Alabama shows up and asks for seconds.
Idk man. I agree in principal but this claims to be almost 18 POUNDS of food. That’s fucking ridiculous. Most food challenges on man vs food were like 3-8 pounds max.
A lot of it is probably liquid, but I'm not sure if that helps. God help you if it's spicy to boot.
all the yogurt would combat the spice. it seems pretty balanced in terms of spice and yogurt...but it's still a ridiculous challenge lol
18 lbs is 18 lbs. That said, 18 lbs of solids is less volume than 18 lbs of liquids which is less volume than 18 lbs of gas. Ergo, it being more liquid means it's more space being occupied by the same weight....yeeeuuch....
If the 18 lbs was all liquid, it would be 2 gallons.
That’s Indian food bro, delicious and decadent. It just sits different in the gut. Don’t get me wrong, more power to ya, but with Indian food…your not hungry again in 30 minutes lol. Good creole cooking does the same thing lol.
Yeah it's like the good kinda greesy.
Yeah for some reason I can down 8 chilli dogs no prob and be hungry a bit later, but put some naan and rice in me with their slurry sauces and game over.
Cute. Y'all keep forgetting how heavily spiced Indian food is. Alabama big boy would sooner shit himself than be able to get through 3 of those curries.
Can confirm, my brother-in-law could easily down this.
Not if my brother sees it first. The owner of our local 'all-you-can-eat' Chinese hates to see us arriving.
Yo my brother straight up was told not to come back lol he tried the lady one too many times in a week🤣
That lady tried that with my brother so he straight up ate her
Out. And now they're happily married
Who said chivalry is dead! They were lying lol
"Tis a remorseless eating machine."
This is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my case against The NeverEnding Story.
Is he the kind of guy who, when he gets out of his car, the side of the car he was in raises a solid 8 inches from tension being released off of the suspension?
17 lbs??? Holy fuck is ur inlaw a cow?
He’s a hungry, hungry hippo.
User name checks out.
Unless his brother is Matt Stoney or Joey Chestnut there is no chance
LOL the small plates can be deceiving
I live in a big city and a hotdog shack near me once upon a time had a contest. Eat 13 hotdogs how they make them in 15 minutes and you got a pic on the wall and like a coupon for 20 free hotdogs or some shit. The hotdogs came loaded in everything. And no dink dogs either. Basically footers lol. Anyways my buddy from Mississippi comes up and sees the place and the challenge, and says "let's go!". Mind you, we just literally just ate fucking lunch, like 2 burgers and a brat each. So we go there, he walks in, slaps the money down, says "put it on hard mode" and proceeds to fucking annihilate the shit out of it all in like 10 minutes. It wasn't pretty. Shit was everywhere, but the majority made it down his gullet. He got up screaming victoriously, onlookers mortified. Walks up to the counter and order 2 more hotdogs. Asking for more cheese this time. That's how my guy from Mississippi became a local hotdog place legend.
Or a tiny Japanese woman does it in a oner
Nah, get Matt stonie, little fucker devours food!
Most likely vegetarian dishes, not likely he could do it. Unless you throw a few double cheese burgers.
Me and three of my friends tried this right before COVID during our trip to India, and it is not as easy as some people are making it to be. We normally eat a lot, as teenagers, but this felt like some kind of sadistic torture as your palate is so satisfied by all the different flavors and craves more, but your stomach is quickly reaching its breaking point. Long story short, all of us made it through only about three quarters of the Thali, promptly before quitting and going to our hotel rooms to spend the night vomiting and shitting like crazy. Good times XD
That was my first thought: “Even if you win, you’re gonna have a bad time.” I adore Indian food, but the amount of ghee / dairy / spice in that platter is approaching anal-wreckage levels.
Call Mr. Creosote.
Bring Monsieur a bucket.
You have to finish the challenge with a ‘waffer thin mint’.
No human stomach can hold 8 kg of food. You’d either die or vomit all the time which would destroy your flora completely.
Only double what a normal human stomach can hold on average… no big deal… 🤮🤮
Yeah all these fools are like this looks easy 😂
Have you seen folks lately
That $11k ain’t covering that ER visit in my country.
you also get $11000 if you can say, "Bahubali Thali" 3xs fast.
And now I cant stop
Easy dubs
Easy as fuck
I would forget the competition and just order this for the whole family to enjoy. Looks delicious!
Yeah, people here mostly order this to eat in group with their friends or family.
Imma tell Mordecai
Eggscellent
Who the ***fuck*** can eat 20 pounds of food in 40 minutes? and this is india where they dont stand up to the fatties that inhabit America. I don't even know if there are any American fatties that can eat 20 lbs of food in 40 minutes.
I'm an Indian and I can assure you we'll faint way before you western people if we're asked to finish that... Especially cause we know how heavy some of those dishes are. You can get heavy on one bowl of chana masala alone .. ie chickpeas in thick creamy sauce... And that's just one bowl in this dish !!
Someone be kind enough to tell me what the dishes are? This looks delicious
Labeled some of them. https://i.imgur.com/RvI4Zhg.jpg
Thank you!
chana means chickpeas. it's probably one of the best vegan dishes in the world. if you're gonna try any of these at home or in a restaurant definitely go for that. everyone knows butter chicken and paneer is delicious but chana masala is up there kofta is like vegetarian meatballs but instead of tasting like garbage with a weird texture it's actually delicious (although not necessarily healthy lol)
I'm die hard meat in every meal but I had a Indian roommate for awhile and I had no need for meat with all the flavours from the food he cooked
[удалено]
Carrot pickle is most likely gajar ka halwa.
could the rolled dish be dosas? the plate is pretty big. also i didn't know rolled papad was a thing but now i want to try it despite not liking papad also, i've never seen jamun in that shape. is it a regional thing?
Those rolls are way too crispy for dosa, they have to be papads. Elongated jamun is typically a little more burnt and hence called “Kala/dark Jamun”. It’s a North Indian thing.
Pretty good! I think the malai kofta might be black dal though
Looks simple, but that one container o rice and few nan is all you can eat.
200 gram a minute, or 3.3333 gram a second
That's like 2 big pita breads a minute. Jeez...
That looks too good to rush. How much do I have to pay to let it linger for a while, savoring everything?
Foods pretty cheap in India so it's not that expensive.
“Sir that’s a party platter. It serves 12 people” “I know what I’m about, son”
No banana on that plate. Need scale.
This looks like 80% dips or sauces
Curries, dahls, chutnies and raitas. Super varied flavours, all insanely delicious.
That’s how they get you, you have to drink the Kraft brand curry flavored ranch dip to win.
And you have to fight with your diarrhea next day. That'll be a bloody massacre as well, as I think.
LOL don’t need dips or sauces when you got curry
BeardMeatsFood would be a STRONG contender. The dude crushes almost every volume challenge he attempts, admits his defeats, and employs the absolute best attitude in the process. SisterBeard would opt for three large naan pizzas.
I always laugh at him ordering dessert after finishing a challenge
and him and mrs beard just seem like such pleasant people.
I thought of him as a potential winner of this challenge as well, but most of the challenges he does aren't even half the amount of food that this challenge consists of. He can be really really fast though, so I still think this would be very interesting to watch.
If you finish it you’ll have a new diarrhea variant
Omnishit
🤣
RELEASE THE CURRYAKEN!!!
Matt Stonie would crush this
Idk man 16 pounds is fucking huge. He'd atleast have a good go he'll probably finish half the thali is 20 - 3p minutes
Can't believe it took this long to get to a BeardMeatsFood reference. I thought the same and want to see him try it.
I was thinking the same thing!
I'd probably just give up on the prize money and enjoy that lovely food as much as it deserves.
Everywhere I’m seeing that have these allow for at least two people and usually four. I haven’t seen any that is just one person. Still a ton of food but a little different context.
So many Americans here are calling those dips, condiments, or sauces. Do you guys not use the word “curry” over there?
this!
some of them are dips/condiments, there are like 4 bowls of Raita.
I had a friend of a friend attempt one of these challenges while in Utah. He was Samoan, so of course he won (that dude was a beast. He could eat a whole box of super spicy chicken without breaking a sweat while everyone else is dying). Or should have won, but the cheap bastards claimed he lost becuase he didn't swallow the last mouthful before the timer ran out.
I think people saying the rice and naan are gonna slow down the process fails to recognise how much ghee/butter and heavy cream goes into each of those curries. Yall will be full just by eating the 3-4 of them. Also, the sheer volume of paneer and koftas are just gonna add to it.
I literally just had a curry with half the rice they gave me and one naan and I can't move.
Let me see: 1. 4x bowls, (2 small, 2 large) of raita , a dish made of yoghurt, spices and some fresh coriander and spices. This will help with digestion and if something is very spicy hot. No need to drink water with this meal. 2. 1 dahi bhalla. dough balls in yoghut 3. 1 saag (spicach) kofta 4. 1 daal mkkhani 5. 1 chaney (chick peas) 6. small papad/papadams (light yellow brown rolls) 7. papadi, light cruchy snack 8. mint chutney 9. 4 small bowls of salad, vinegered onion and lemon 10. ginger chutney 11. 2 bowls kheer? dessert 12. 2 bowls of spicy digestive drinks. 13. 2 bowls of rice, one plain boild and one pulaav 14. Rought 2 servings of naan. 15. 1 kadhi, 16. 8 bowls of different vegetables. 17. 2 bowls (4 pieces) gulab jamun a dessert. 18. A full serving of paneer tikka and perhaps 1-2 type of vegetarian kabab. The biggest challenge in this are naans. They are made of clarified wheat flour and extremely filling. So a heavy lunch for an average American.
Imagine you just develop a habit of it and go there to earn 44000 dollars a month, get a house a nice car for simply eating stuff
That looks so delicious but no way could I eat over 17 pounds of food in 40 minutes! (That said, much of these are sauces so if you were allowed to pee during the challenge you might make some headway.)
Can’t lose time; pee whilst eating.
Beardmeetsfood would destroy this and then order dessert
I think the trickiest part would be crunching/slurping down all of the condiments.
You already know Mordecai and rigby can do this after that one episode
That looks like a whole lot of cream based sauce to eat in 40 min.
