A fish and chip shop has launched the ultimate Friday night chippy tea challenge, daring its customers to devour a whopping 2.5kg of the good stuff in just one hour.
If you’ve ever scranned a chippy tea and felt like it hadn’t quite hit the spot, this challenge is probably perfect for you.
Launched by The Anker Fish Bar, which was founded in Tamworth, the behemoth chippy tea is comprised of three massive portions of their signature battered cod, three slices of thick, buttered white bread, and three large portions of chips.
On the side, there’s also the option of beans, mushy peas, curry sauce, or gravy. If you’re feeling cocky, you can probably get away with asking for them all – but beware, because if you don’t finish it all in an hour you will be paying for the privilege.
Known as ‘The Collosus,’ the mammoth feast weighs in at roughly 3,000 calories and is deceptively huge, served on a concave tray that makes it look like there’s less than there actually is.
At 500 more than the average recommended intake for a man and 1,000 more than that which is recommended for a woman, you’d be killing quite a few birds with one stone if you manage this feast in a one-hour sitting.
Launched earlier this year by The Anker Fish Bar’s co-owner Elizabeth Forrester, the only person to successfully complete the challenge so far is Youtuber and professional competitive eater Adam Moran, who hails from Leeds.
In his video, which has been viewed more than 1 million times online so far, he tucks into the mammoth chippy tea with gusto – grabbing the chips with his hands and pouring on gravy, before picking up a fork and commenting to the camera: “there are a few people in the shop now, so it’s time to get civilised.”
A woman comes into the shop and comments: “you’ll never eat all that” – little does she know, he was about to successfully devour the whole thing.
Better known online as Beard Meets Food, Adam is known to be one of the world’s top competitive eaters and often travels the country to complete challenges.
