The ultimate belly-buster: Could you take on the biggest full English breakfast in the world?



It's the gigantic, gut-busting mother of all big breakfasts

A café is offering the largest English breakfast in the world - and if you finish it you get it free.

The giant fry-up includes ten sausages, ten eggs, ten rashers of bacon, five black puddings, and piles of beans, mushrooms and tomatoes .

Proper plateful: The mammoth meal is so packed with fried delights it has to be served on a tray

But there is a queasy catch - you have to scoff the greasy lot in twenty minutes flat, and not a slurp of tea or any other liquid can pass your parched lips.

And if that wasn't enough to give you tummy trouble, there is a toast tower of ten slices to much your way through.

Mario's Café in Westhoughton, Bolton offers the breakfast blow-out for £10.95, but you must sign a health disclaimer before ordering as it contains a heart-stopping 5,000 calories - twice the daily amount recommended for an average male.

Ready to eat: Abi Grady starts to make her way through the breakfast with her first two of TEN sausages.

Iron-stomached Abi Grady accepted the challenge of tackling the Guinness World Record holder for largest English breakfas t.

The 19-year-old model from Manchester said: "I was fairly confident when I ordered but then Mario bought it out and I knew I was in trouble - it was so big it comes on a tray instead of a plate!

'I thought if I made huge sandwiches using the toast and packing in a lot of filling I might stand a chance.

The big bite: Brave Abi tries out her tactic of making sandwiches, but the breakfast remains undefeated

'But even after one of these I still had eight sausages and eggs left, as well as a pile of other food. I was also dying for a slurp of tea.

'I think I would have been there until supper time trying to finish the big breakfast'

Defeated Abi's disclaimer was pinned to the wall, along with the 52 other challengers who have so far tried to take on the breakfast - and failed .

Café owner Mario Frappola, 53, said: 'No-one has finished my big breakfast so far.

'I tried it myself but had to give up even though I love English breakfasts.

'We started it as a joke a few months ago but word spread and now people show up from all over Britain to try it.
