the world's largest xmas dinner is FREE... if you can stomach it
The monster meal on offer at the Duck Inn is set to feature in next year’s Book Of World Records.
A PUB is offering customers a free Christmas dinner – if they can finish it in under 45 minutes.
But it’s not as easy as it sounds because this is officially the biggest Christmas dinner in the world.
The ￡35 feast is made up of a whole turkey, 25 roast potatoes, 25 parsnips, 25 stuffing balls, 25 pigs in blankets, 25 carrots, 25 sprouts, 25 pieces of broccoli and cauliflower, a pint of gravy and lashings of cranberry sauce.
The 6,000-calorie meal at the Duck Inn, Redditch, Worcs, will feature in the 2015 Guinness Book Of World Records.
Pub owner Ashley Gargan, 41, said: “We got a call out of the blue from them wanting to come and assess us to see if our meal could be certified as the largest in the world. I thought it was a prank at first but they came down and checked the place and were happy with it.
“I have tried the challenge myself and I couldn’t finish it. No one has so far but there’s still time.
“They have to take most of it home in a doggy bag.” Chef Simon Tongue, 36, said: “The platter is so heavy. The photos don’t do it justice.”
Customer Tom Belcher, 23, of Moseley, Birmingham, said: “I used to enter eating contests at university and usually did well so I wanted to try this but it was too much. I was in so much pain I had to stop.”
