Cheers. I just love to eat. And take photos of what I eat.

Is that ketchup? Doesn't look like it...

What on earth is that cheese in the bowl with the onions, it looks amazing!

I got a new camera phone recently and have only just got around to figuring out how to plug the memory card into the computer. So, here are a lot of pics of my recent meals. Enjoy.

Hot dogs, with a wide selection of toppings.



A kebab from Chilli Massala. Its lamb tika, very tasty. There is more meat on it than is shown in the pic. In my haste to eat it I forgot to move the salad aside for the photo.



Steak with a selection of veg.



A simple meal of sausage and eggs.



My home made lasagne. Very cheesy.



I felt like I should eat some veg one day so here is a chicken salad I made. Features a lot of coldslaw.



Another giant pie from the giant pie shop.



I went to the food and drink festival in Manchester and had this rather tasty treat. Spanish meat balls.



Behold, the Pie Dinner from The Trawlerman chippy. Its a beast! That is the colour that all mushy peas should be.





This is a bit of a "what have I got in the freezer/ fridge that needs eating" meal. It is peppers, spinach, broccoli, some roast chicken, 2 duck eggs with hoi sin sauce and 2 drops of insanity sauce for an extra kick. All stir fried together.





It would appear the Waterfields Choice is Hitler. I am lead to believe that its supposed to be Frankenstiens creation.

ZOMBIE-HILTER-OCTOGONOPUS! BLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRG!

i was not hungry...now i am.

Not yet but I've been in many a food coma. Also, I once ate a pound of melted cheese which had unexpected effects on my vision.

A food coma is when you have eaten so much that your body shuts down all functions aside from digestion and the basics to keep you alive. To be in one feels like you are awake and asleep at the same time. You just sit and stare into space, seeing but not comprehending, or caring about, what is going on. Breathing and heart rate slow down to similar levels as those you have when asleep but the body needs to keep digestion going at a more rapid rate. Normally, when you are actually asleep, digestion is slowed down along with everything else. A food coma keeps you awake because your body won't let you fully relax because a) it wants to digest the food and b) it is likely that the energy from the fats and sugars, from the excessive amount you have just eaten, are getting into your system and keeping you fueled up. These would be the fats and sugars from the start of the meal. To enter a food coma requires eating quite a lot so it is often the case that your body has already begun to process the food from the becining of the meal before you reach the end. I would think it unlikely that you could enter a food coma without first eating for at least 30 mins, constantly.

To induce a food coma I would recommend a massive fry up. Something like this for example :



Or lots of chinese take away food. Something that has a high fat and sugar content as well as plenty of carbohydrate. Fiber is optional. It will help with the passing of the food but isn't essential to coma inducement. It is best to put a film on the TV as you begin to eat and make sure you are on the sofa. Don't try to induce a coma at the dining table and never try to do it in a restaurant. You will not be able to walk properly. I once went into a coma at pizza hut, it wasn't good. I had to be helped to the car and kate had to drive home. Anyway, aside walking you won't be able to move your arms much so thats why you need to put a film on as eating begins. Once in the coma you will find it very difficult to reach for the remote or even to press the buttons on it. Plus you won't really care, so long as whats on is mildly entertaining you will just mong out and watch it. I would also recommendhaving a pint of water handy. After so much food, you will probably be thirsty but you won't be able to walk to the kitchen to get a drink. It will be tough but you should be able to force yourself to reach forward to a coffee table. It will be exhausting though. Never induce a coma if you have stuff to do, it won't get done. You should set aside at least 2 hours for the effects to pass. 4 hours before any strenuous task is undertaken.

To be honest, I've never tried to induce a food coma before, they just tend to happen. If you try it, let me know how you get on.

You always throw me off when you call french fries "chips."
