I cannot remember the last barbecue I attended.
I think it might have been in the USA, where they understand such things better than many Britons. I remember going to Canada in 1989 following four days at a festival, during which I had existed on one vegeburger a day. My first meal upon reaching Canada was a barbecue hosted by a pal of my father's, and there was a pile of steaks next to the grill that must have been 50cm high. My brother and I nearly wept with joy.

PS it's been fucking dreadful. I miss the pair of you. I'm fed up with being the biggest spastic on here.

PPS my sister has been promoted again. She is now a Detective Inspector. Disappointingly she is not called 'guv'. This is apparently only really done in the Met.

They do love a good grill in the US of A.
One of my fondest memories of Texas is a restaurant called U-R-Cooks, where one would choose a size of steak (smallest was 16oz) and then go and cook it yourself on some gigantic grills in the middle of the seating area.

I'd love to go to a proper US steakhouse.

I went to an awesome BBQ joint in New York.

Oh God, some guy on the telly last night was trying to put away a 72oz steak.
I couldn't watch.

Was that Man v Food?
The bloke on that eats ridiculous meals. There was one where he ate 180 oysters.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 7 Mar 2012, 8:48, Reply)

Yeah, that was the one.
He held the steak in front of his guts before it was cooked. It was as big as he was.

That programme is probably shown in Al Quaeda training camps
to illustrate why America deserves to be blown up.

I view Adam Richman as something akin to an American Gonz
The enthusiasm he shows for all the food, how happy he always is for it, I think it's excellent. Also, the gluttony makes me realise I'm actually not as bad as I thought I was!

I'd happily give that a good crack, before dying about 1/3 of the way through

I'd have to give it a good crack, either way!

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 7 Mar 2012, 8:57, Reply)

Yep, I'd definitely have a go
it's one of those things you just have to try. I've rolled through a 32oz steak with salad and chips before, so it can't be too hard.

The hardest challenge I've done was a 1lb burger
The amount was hard to eat, as the meat was top quality. However, the non changing texture was the hardest thing to deal with. Was rather happy to finish that one.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 7 Mar 2012, 9:04, Reply)

Yeah, Richman always uses condiments
for the eating challenges (at least the size ones).

Where did you have your 1lb burger? Sounds like a hoot :D

Place called Ketchup, in Glasgow
Was fantastic

V gutted you cannot come on Friday.

It's big Poppa Robinsons
Birthday that weekend. If you'd have caught me a week earlier I would have been able to wiggle out of the Friday and come. How on EARTH are you and Ralph going to be able to cope with all those women...?

By shagging them rotten.
No idea how Rallers will entertain himself whilst I'm doing that, mind you.

Is it Ma'm as in harm or Ma'm as in spam?

I believe the queen suffers from this too.

Surely as a contraction of the word Madam it should rhyme with spam?
