The most ridiculous thing I've ever eaten.
Posted by: Tony Lockhart on 20 December 2009
At last, I've found a pic of the Mile High Icecream Pie that I had at a Champps in Cleveland, Ohio, back in about 2002. The waitress brought out 5 spoons, and got 4 unused spoons back.
It took me five minutes to start eating the thing, we were all crying so much.

PS. Still full!

Welcome to America my friend.

I've lived in America my entire life, and I've never eaten such a thing. I've never seen anybody eating such a thing. I don't know anyone who has ever eaten such a thing.

Come on jayd...I'm from Oregon, original pancake house apple cinnamon pancake? 72oz steaks challenge? Mcds having to put a limit on cheese burgers when they did the 29c special...only 16 per person!

Just trying to eat a normal size portion without waste/waist is bad enough! Even OAP sizes are quite large.

A pie with blond hair and blue eyes?

Not saying it isn't available. You or those you know may have taken the "challenge", or Mickey D'd to the limit, but I haven't. Don't know anyone who has. And I don't eat at the "restaurants" you mention, so I sadly haven't witnessed the no doubt charming spectacles firsthand.
Had I said, "that sort of thing never, ever happens in the US", I'd understand your post. Didn't.

Some of us are smiling at this thread. It isn't supposed to be an assault on the US.

I know that, and my response was specifically aimed at garyi's suggestion that overeating = America. I expect he missed the bit about it having been served with 5 spoons.
Anyway, I thought your post was funny. Nice job - had I been there, I'd have been cheering you on.

That must have been an amazing feat of endurance.
When I was a kid in PA I had shoe fly pie at a diner. It's like pecan pie without the nuts. It was basically pure sugar and I almost made myself sick.
In Paris with a group, for desert I ordered the cheapest one, rice pudding. It came to the table in this huge bowl, everyone laughed, the waitress should have warned me.

Mudwolf,
Yep, it crippled me for about half an hour. I had to wobble my way outside the restaurant for some "fresh air", where I released my belt, burped, then smiled. I'm still a legend amongst a few of my old workmates, but I retired while on top.

5 spoons = a real Jenga challenge of a pudding.
...or does 1 eat and the other 4 hold the bowl?

Sea urchins
Sea urchins taste like snot. Ridiculously, I tried them again just to make sure there hadn't been something wrong with either me or the restaurant the night before. There hadn't.

The person that claims not to know what snot tastes like is both a liar, and has never had a cold.
Are you an alien?
