The unhealthiest sandwich ever created
Recently, I came across this page, and discovered the 30000 calorie sandwich. Being a big fan of food, I decided to go one better, or more specifically, three thousand better. The result would be a monster of a snack, so stuffed with meat and cheese that you would get fat just by being near it. Containing enough energy to sustain a normal adult for nearly two weeks, eating this sandwich would be comparable to pouring gravy directly into your veins. Not one to care about eating a balanced diet, I made it anyway.
Here is a list of all the ingredients I used:
24 rashers bacon 840g 2142kcal
60 sausages 3.4kg 8075kcal
4 burgers 454g 1144kcal
2 chicken kievs 285g 903kcal
8 frying steaks 380g 543kcal
Steak mince 900g 1287kcal
10 eggs 690g 1014kcal
Mini hash browns 700g 1575kcal
Cheddar cheese 740g 3034kcal
Butter 145g 1047kcal
1 bottle sunflower oil 1150ml 9151kcal
2 bloomer loaves white bread 1.6kg 3488kcal
Total 33403kcal
The cooker actually groaned under the weight of all these ingredients
Frying all of the ingredients (the only real way to cook) took me the best part of all day, and afterwards my kitchen was saturated with fat and grease. By the time it was done I was sliding around on a layer of oil that had formed on the floor, and had burned my hands no less than four times.
The meatylicous mountain ready for assembly. Unfortunately the prawns didn't make it into the sandwich (I ate them during the construction)
Assembling the sandwich took about half an hour, with a couple of meat-slides, and the end result proved what a stupid idea this project was. I really don't know what I was thinking.
The finished sandwich was so large, it wouldn't even fit in the viewfinder of my cheap disposable camera
I never got round to weighing the sandwich, but I estimated it at about 7 tonnes. It was heavy work just moving it from my kitchen table to the fridge, and I had to take out the bottom shelf and the lowest door pocket just to make it fit.
My dismantled fridge with the sandwich inside. It took up nearly a third of the available space
Eating this sandwich took me about eight days, including a few days' rest. I was a bit concerned that I'd suffer a grease-induced heart attack, but I'm still alive and it tasted awesome. A 33000 calorie 'up yours' to the government's healthy eating guidelines.
