Oscar's Diner, an American-themed burger bar in Telford, Shropshire, England, has prepared the biggest burger in the country and offered it as part of its "Sink the Titanic" challenge, the Daily Mail reports.

The mega burger contains two 1-pound beef patties, six rashers of bacon, two chicken breasts, two potato waffles, four onion rings, cheese and -- it's not all bad -- a tomato. The 4,200-calorie burger is more than twice a woman's recommended daily intake -- more, in fact, than she should eat in two whole days.

Hungry customers must eat the entire burger, a large portion of fries, a pot of coleslaw and an ice cream milkshake within 45 minutes. The prize is a free meal, a celebratory photograph on the "wall of fame" and a commemorative T-shirt.

The restaurant says that of the 100 people to have tried the 15 pounds meal, which takes half an hour to prepare, fewer than 20 have managed every last fry. But one winner managed to polish off the lot in just seven minutes. (点击《每日邮报》查看原文)

英餐厅推“泰坦尼克”汉堡

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,英国什罗普郡特尔福德一家名为“奥斯卡餐馆”的美式汉堡店最近推出一款英国最大的汉堡,还举办了一场名为“泰坦尼克(汉堡的昵称)沉没”大胃王的挑战赛。

       这款巨型汉堡使用了2片1磅超厚牛肉饼(约0.45公斤)、6片火腿培根、两大块鸡肉煎饼、两块烤土豆饼、4个洋葱圈、奶酪和西红柿片。这款汉堡的热量高达4200卡路里,相当于一名女性一天所需摄入热量的两倍多。如果一名女性吃掉这样一个汉堡包,可以两天内不再吃其他食物。

       如果饥肠辘辘的食客能够45分钟内吃下整个汉堡、一大份薯条、一份凉拌蔬菜丝和一杯冰激凌奶昔,可以免单,其照片可以挂上奥斯卡餐馆“名人墙”,同时赢取一件纪念T恤。

       餐馆介绍,已经有100名食客尝试这份售价为15英镑(约157元)的套餐,不足20人成功接受挑战。令人吃惊的是,一名食客不到7分钟就吃下所有食物。
