Food heathen

Post by **Randy Cornhole** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:14 pm

I just sat down for some food with my partner and found myself wolfing it down just to get back to my computer. It occurred to me that I don't really enjoy eating at all! Its just an inconvenience and something I have to do to stop myself from passing out or eventually loosing the use of my legs.....
There of course some Thai dishes I prefer over others, but I wont go into a particular restaurant. I just choose one that looks empty so I know I will get my food quickly, often requesting the bill whilst still eating.
If I'm hungry and have the choice of waiting 30 Min's for some 'Gordon blue' style dish that has been lovingly crafted by a top chef, from the finest ingredients known to person kind or gnawing on some mouldy old dough (remember that song?) I will choose the dough.
Just give it to me, let me gorge for 5 Min's and get on with something useful.....

After all we all know the real food of life is alcohol.....lol

I agree. Food just gets in the way of the serious business - drinking.
I wonder why my wife tries to force feed me these days. I hate breakfast at 9am as I'm tring to get through my 4th bottle of Chang

Anyone for the best Euro breakfast ever eaten of trips to Ostend or Antwerp. Large plate of eggs and bacon and a nice big pint of Stella. What better way is there to start the day.

more stella

even more stella

A pint of 'wife beater' for breakfast!!! Jesus how can you guys work?

Well done Randy, I can see you are well versed in the are of Stella drinking (knowing secret names and all that).

Now if you were in a desparate situation, you could always substitute the Stella for large cans of gods nectar (Carlsberg Special Brew)

That would make for an interesting start to the day

You're all amateurs. A pint of snakebite (but it's got to be half Diamond White and half Carlsberg Special Brew) always gets rid of the cobwebs at 8am.

lomuamart you have really rasied the bar now. That is defintley brain damage material.
Not sure if there is another that can beat that, would be hard pressed.

On the Special Brew in Aus they have health warnings to let you know that 1 x 500ml can contains the equivivlant of 3.6 standard strength & size drinks per can.

I very stupidly decided to demolish 4 cans after a long lunch and a few beers at the pub after lunch.

It took me about 3 days to recover from the constant pounding in my head from (A) the Specail Brew and (B) the grief that my GF gave me (her constant shouting at me did not help with the pounding in my head either).

I used to frequent a bar in Jakarta that offered a buffet breakfast with unlimited Bloody Marys from 07:00 in the morning; if you were still out, that used to finish you off nicely!

chelsea,
I seem to recall (very vaguely) a night out in Adelaide which started with me consuming 4 pints of Coopers/Diamond White snakebites; the rest as they say, is mystery. I woke up on a park bench at about 6am. I don't know how Coopers compares strength wise with Special Brew (or if it is available in Perth) but it certainly did the trick that night!
By the way, is the Brass Monkey still in business in Perth? Enjoyed a few Redbacks in there. back in 1991.

I remember I used to drink Guinness with Port chasers, and used to regularly loose the power to control all bodily functions.....
Another fave was a pint of Fullers ESB with a bottle of Barley wine to top it up.

I was told as a young boy, but didn't believe it, that sweet drinks will split your head the next day, especially if you mix. Unfortunately, my teacher was spot on. If I drink something like Zambuca, Southern Comfort, Port, Schnops(sp) GOD FORDIB!!! Just float me out to sea and let the creatures feed on my remains. Pete
