What is the greatest number of calories you've eaten in a day?

http://www.krispykreme.com/images/hotlighanim.gif

once in Paris the dinner they served me was essentially a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with liquid cheese, that had to be good for 5k at least

fucking delicious I tell you

you didnt have to go all the way to france, you can get those at panera

i don't know, those nights when i ate a full pizza with like ice cream between halves

that's gotta put me up at 4k

or how bout the nights when i've cleaned out jars of peanut butter with slice after slice of bread

yeah i'm up there.

I once ate four big macs for lunch, which is 2160. Not sure what I ate the rest of the day, though.

Beats the hell out of me, but I wouldn't be surprised at six digits.

I don't know how I've survived some of that shit.

you didnt have to go all the way to france, you can get those at panera

not tryna snob out or nothin but trust me when I tell you that the liquid cheese in a bread bowl in France has a little less corn syrup in it than the cheez soup en Wonder you get from Panera

Probably some sort of religious feast in Sicily. Where breakfast is five cannolli and your light lunch starter is two bowls of bechemal soaked baked pasta, it tends to pile up a little.

once in Paris the dinner they served me was essentially a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with liquid cheese, that had to be good for 5k at least

Dude, you shoulda gottan the bread with fries in between. Not eaten it myself but it's apparently the cal diggity bomb.

Probably when I ate a big fatty meal at Hard Rock Cafe in Hawaii. The ice cream was for two people but I was alone. *weeps*

you wasted your big calorie binge at the hard rock? :(

i know :-(

Probably a holiday, maybe a football tailgate? I'm certain I've consumed 4000 calories of beer in a single day before.

kerm you like your beer!

ok now i want a good old fashioned binge :/

how many calories is 13 beers?

hmmm 1600ish?

http://www.realbeer.com/edu/health/calories.php what beer?

depends on the kind and size of the beer, I'm sure. Maybe 200 per, roughly?

i've played at soul food restaurants and just gotten wrong on piles of beans & rice, fried chicken, turkey, etc.

in recent memory, there was this night (had to consult ipso fatso thread):

my dad and stepmom came to visit tonight, so we went out for a big dinner. then i got back and my neighbors were having the first grill-out of the year, and i couldn't resist. so tonight i ate:

a bunch of mussels
fries ('frites')
bread
1/2 patty melt
crab cake
cheese cake
Anchor Steam
Dogfish IPA

and then for dessert

large burger
ear of corn
Lazy Mutt Ale x2

yeah but the lights can average like 150

but when i was fat i was eating whole tombstone pizzas on the regular.

how fat were you?

over 200 lbs

it was 13 pints of mostly Zlaty Bazant and then later on some dark lager that I cannot remember the name of cos i was zonked.

don't think it'd beat 4000 cal though unless you count the fact that i also ate about 6 fried eggs and a ton of ham at the hotel in the morning.

I'm talking a rack of High Life over a ~20 hour period.

looks like you lost a lot of weight Jordan.

I had 13 Steamwhistles (bottles,) two shots and jello shooters recently.. wild night.. considering I also had breakfast, lunch, dinner and post-bar pizza slice I probably made it to 5,000 that day - way to go, Lex :P

dunno, but it was probably when i was a freshman in college, living in the dorms and in some weird effort to try to gain weight there was a month or so when i'd eat two dinners-- one late in the afternoon, and then one a few hours later...followed by a late-night "snack" consisting of a chicken sandwich, probably chased by some raw pop-tarts or something

this was before i went veg also, so i was likely drinking tons of milk as well. and said dinners involved piles of meatstuff. i'm sure i drank a ton of soda, as well.

these days i'm the opposite, and eat like gaudi and drink like pessoa. must find a reasonable balance.

I've been eating these Quizno's $5 large subs for lunch lately. Tuna seems healthy, right? Their 'tuna melt' is like 5 cans of tuna on a sub roll, but whatever.

Apparently, Quizno's finally posted their nutritional info, and the tuna melt has 2,000 calories and 175g of fat(!)

http://www.foodfacts.info/blog/2007/11/quiznos-nutritional-information-finally.html

20 Wagon Wheels in a hour, 3340 calories

are you fucking kidding

Jesus.

that is digusting.

lolmayo

disgusting but not that surprising - tuna salad (as prepared by restaurants with tons of mayonnaise) is usually one of the least healthy, most calorific menu items. plus the melted cheese...

ain't no jareds at quizno's.

we've been making tuna salad with plain yogurt and just a touch of mayo. tastes great, and not like lard.

yah but even for mayo and cheese 175g of fat should be like illegal

"b-b-but it's fish!"

Sous Chefs care not for your arterys.

i have been eating a lot of subway since it's one of the only things near work. those calories are ALL posted on the menu. jared is a faker, they're not so healthy either. (shocking news, i know)

this thread is making me hungry

sotm

Jesus Christ it's true

http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/121023.html

I mean wow

I'm thinking only about 3000. I kinda struggle to get to 2500 most days.

Nutrition at a glance
There are 690 calories in the Pizza Hut Pazone Meat Lovers.

http://content.ytmnd.com/content/0/3/3/033c93434a6f1c4a4c2d2af7cd41fd29.gif

There was a show on UK TV the other day that said a footlong meatball Subway has the same amount of salt as 20 million packets of crisps. dunno how many calories

this thread makes me feel fat and hungry and depressed

I surely have hit 3000 at pies and thighs. I hit 2000 @ 5 guys the other day -->

ha that tuna melt is even HIGH FIBER

this thread makes me feel fat and hungry and depressed

THIS

back in like 2004, late fall, i was really packing it in (going through some weird depression). I'd get like a big bagel sandwich from the deli at my work for breakfast, go out to lunch somewhere fatty and disgusting, and often times (like 2x a week, possibly more) order a DOUBLE MELT pizza from dominos and eat the FREAKIN' WHOLE THING, all while guzzling coke. I had just kind of given up on life. I think I gained 25 pounds in seriously two months, possibly less. It was pretty bad.

Makes me want to go run on the treadmill just thinking about it. This period turned me off pizza like, for good. I can't eat that stuff anymore.

god supermac does not hold a candle to the pnt mac :(

god i'm just staring at that

i can't think of many combinations more barfeous than fish and cheese. good grief.

I had 2 McD's chicken biscuits (410 calories ea.) and the meat was so fatty tasting compared to PnT :(

what about fish tacos?
xpost

This period turned me off pizza like, for good. I can't eat that stuff anymore.

yeah, but domino's is "pizza", not pizza

http://www.milkfat.com/animated%20gifs/mariahfantasy.gif

http://rippnt.ytmnd.com/

yeah, but all pizza makes me feel shameful

dude, i don't eat fish. i always assumed a fish taco was fish plus hot sauce and cabbage or whatever...but not cheese, good god, no, please say it ain't so

i mean, not tons, just a tiny sprinkle is good

There was a show on UK TV the other day that said a footlong meatball Subway has the same amount of salt as 20 million packets of crisps.

lol I've been eating like 2 of these a week (also $5, across the street from Quiznos) and freaked out for a second. It's only 18 packets!! whew.

(at least according to this reputable source)
http://forum.football365.com/index.php?t=msg&th=100376&start=0&

ew, no cheese on fish tacos!

i feel shameful about eating in general sometimes. that's pretty fucked-up. HELLO, EATING DISORDER-VILLE!

but seriously, i wish that as human beings we didn't have to eat and just took in nutrients in some different fashion.

> but seriously, i wish that as human beings we didn't have to eat and just took in nutrients in some different fashion.

That's not pretty fucked up. That's more fucked up than anything I've heard in weeks.

yeah, but all pizza makes me feel shameful

i'm sorry to hear that. this can be changed, though

do you think moss feels lazy?

That's not pretty fucked up. That's more fucked up than anything I've heard in weeks.

really? i dunno, i just think eating is gross.

I'm literally leaving right now for my (2nd) Weight Watchers meeting. Looking at this thread has been interesting after a couple of weeks of eating very little. I'm glad to be off all this shit, but man... a Five Guys burger right now? fuckfuckfuckstaystrongfuck

> really? i dunno, i just think eating is gross.

Sorry, man. Same reaction again. Eating is a wonderful gift.

i appreciate being able to live, but i'm not a big fan of killing things in order to survive...

and most other biological functions are pretty disgusting as well.

> i appreciate being able to live

> most other biological functions are pretty disgusting

You seem very conflicted about your own existence in general.

no, i'm as harmonious as a pizza hut

dell you gotta read you some Walt Whitman and love your body

I know that's easier to say than to do but seriously get on it

i just envision someone else having to wipe my butt at age 80 and my enthusiasm for the scheme of living in bodies starts to dwindle considerably.

that's not living in bodies, it's aging in bodies. aging isn't fun, but eating is.

dude there'll be robot buttwipers then

"scheme"?

dell, at least it's not just men you hate.

well, i'm the type of person who views eating by and large as a regrettable necessity and not a pleasure

do you look at sex that way too?

yeah, what don't you regret?

i mean who are you kidding dell, you don't take pleasure in eating a slice of pizza? ice cream? a refreshing salad or how bout all your fruit? fruit log much?

lol catholic guilt :D

thinking of eating as a regrettable necessity is a little too intellectual for me. sometimes it's as simple as me need bites of goodstuff now yeah.

There are 690 calories in the Pizza Hut Pazone Meat Lovers.

that's actually way less than i would've thought

http://i38.tinypic.com/23j2xrn.jpg

do you look at sex that way too?

pretty much.

you don't take pleasure in eating a slice of pizza?

congealed cowpuss? i dunno, now matter how much it's dressed up, it's not a pretty picture

ice cream?

the same

a refreshing salad or how bout all your fruit? fruit log much?

i am not comfortable with the basic facts of life.

not intellectual. neurotic.

Louis real Catholics are secretly completely in love with their bodies

people dell's being honest so let's not be dicks about it, eh?

I've never had sex with a carton of cottage cheese.

If you try, I suggest letting it warm up for an hour or so. Don't go for it right out of the fridge.

Also staying the hell away from my house.

This period turned me off pizza like, for good. I can't eat that stuff anymore.

That is one of the saddest things I've ever heard. I'm so sorry. :-(

any man who's over the enjoyment of eating needs to think about his place in the universe.

and i don't know, dell, are you really being honest? i don't buy it. that you don't enjoy eating. i really don't buy it!

i can relate to mandee, i had a similar period and while i still love pizza and eat it every now and then, it's not a go-to meal/pleasure like back in the day.

first you have to accept that you have a place in the universe.

Dell, surrender to the earth! A man's lustiness is his vitality!

i appreciate being able to live, but i'm not a big fan of killing things in order to survive...

Dell, I don't really like the thought of killing things in order to survive either. It's one of the reasons I've been a vegetarian for 16 years.

I can't imagine I understand not liking certain things about eating and making adjustments accordingly but hating eating full stop is so foreign to me. It makes me sad for you.

i'm so excited about this cheese sandwich thing i'm about to make, it's been making me happy all morning

Dell, is it that you honestly never take any pleasure from eating, or is it that you feel any pleasure you derive from it is shameful?

yeah, basically as soon as i eat a meal i start daydreaming about what i'm going to eat for the next one.

Also staying the hell away from my house.

lol

Guys, you can just drink wine. It has almost as many calories as food, and gets you hammered.

you are Tennessee Williams and I claim my five dollars

also this whole thing about being human, not liking it. i mean geez. being human, the bad parts just come with the good parts. when you start thinking you're beyond food, growing old, taking care of your body, what do you have left? you can't have all the good things -- music, love, laughter -- without the bad. it's just the law of contrast. some things have to get a little dirty for the rest of it to be what it is. IMHFO

Kerm otm... Yeah, I'm basically being honest.

At times i love eating and can be Zorba with the best of them (hi, JGo)

When I linger in depression-ville though, then I get weird about food stuff, and just the whole proposition of being human. I don't like it. I don't like this world. I have a fairly healthy sense of humor to counterbalance this shit, but I really fucking hate this prison.

ENBB, surmounter, Bimble, all of you, I appreciate your comments. I'm sorry, I'm just being over-lugubrious.

but I really fucking hate this prison.

i'm really confused why you say things like this. is it productive?

If you think that I got to be CEO of a Fortune 500 corporation by not whining on an internet message board, then you are crazy.

i don't mean to badger you, but i can't help but feel like your negativity is shortsighted and detrimental to you and the people around you.

(xp) haha!

And I can't help but feel that you're mostly right...

I actually do appreciate life as it is, but I also reserve my right to complain and moan about stuff.

yeah, basically as soon as i eat a meal i start daydreaming about what i'm going to eat for the next one.

YES. Sometimes I get sad after finishing a meal, cause all the goodness is gone. Or peeved that I can only have at most 3 meals per day when I have a taste for like 10 different things.

everyone has the right to complain and moan about stuff, just like everyone as the right to do anything, if they're comfortable with consequences. i just don't know if it's helping you. but carry on.

YES. Sometimes I get sad after finishing a meal, cause all the goodness is gone. Or peeved that I can only have at most 3 meals per day when I have a taste for like 10 different things.

This is why I get overly morose if my lunchtime sandwich is disappointing. I've wasted a meal!

YES! or "man why did i try that, when i should've just gone with the sure-fire hit?!"

"that isn't what i was craving after all..."

this happens to me allll the time.

"just kidding yes it is! OM NOM NOM NOM!!"

There was that day I had all that whole milk and like 12 MREs. Failed suicide attempt, but not Woody Allen enough to get any respect.

what's an "MRE"?

http://www.google.com/search?q=MRE&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

thank you. my google broke yesterday, and cuil doesn't seem to be of any help whatsoever

MREs feel guilty about you eating them.

I know, isn't it depressing? xp

yeah, google not working makes me want to kill myself, i get so fucking pissed living in this hell

Oh man, dell, there is no more effective "diet" than being wicked depressed. If there's any one thing that seems kind of palatable, eat a lot of it (as much as you can) every day, until you're over that item of food (in which case move on to another one) or over this particular facet of bummednessitude. Eating might feel weird/mechanical/otherworldly/(other) but how you gonna fight the power/attain oneness/read a book/(other) if you've indavertently deprived yourself of the energy to do so? So. Yeah. Life's fucking crazy.

So you know those pre-wrapped "danishes" that you can get at the convenience store for like $.50? It's totally non-food for fat lazy commuters, and I know this, but sometimes I just get a craving and sit there and go "Oh this is so gross I can't even think about what's in it nom nom nom."

Anyway... 570 calories in one of those things. HFCS is amazing.

xpost
thanks, that's good advice!

(xpost) The ones that look like they're made of plastic? We get those in the UK as well. And those steaming hot French bread cheese baguette things? 100%+ of your RDA of salt in one go.

maybe the day in houston i had catfish and grits and barbecue and that was before dinner

i probably got more today than anyone here. two krispy kremes, a pret cheese n pickle bloomer sandwich (ft too much mayo obviously) and a can of coke. plus pizza soon. yesterday was better (i ate some fruit).

hey dell read some books by this dude it'll help you see how boring philosophy is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_without_organs

all I'm saying is that philosophy makes me want to eat chicken biscuits

too bad I only have you, Cooler Ranch Doritos

The ones that look like they're made of plastic?

The same. Actually, the ones on top look like that, that's the "fresh" version. The older ones on the bottom get all smashed and more closely resemble the formless goo that they actually are, and when you get those you have to eat most of it off of the inside of the wrapper. You also have to fight the urge to stop and think about what you are doing, lest you end up staring into the middle-distance, tears silently rolling down your face, trying to remember the last time you had any self-respect.

I'm on a consecutive calorie record breaking streak every day it seems

(xpost) the culinary delights of Waterloo station...

i miss having a pret to go to for lunch!

pret?

prêt

lol@kenan's shitty breakfast (I have eaten these things too many times to mention)

Hey, how about those little 6-pack gem donuts with terrifying waxy chocolate coating?

lol the bodega on the way to my train only sells "healthy" bars (i.e. have lots of calories and sugar under the guise of "protein" and "energy"!!!)

pret is really not all that good

Hey, how about those little 6-pack gem donuts with terrifying waxy chocolate coating?

There should be warnings not only on this food, but on any other food that has been near it, like they do for peanuts and shellfish. "Warning: This product was made in a facility that also processes apple-flavored goop and tiny chocolate donuts."

i used to enjoy their soups. also salmon/spinach sandwich. and i used to get a cup of their sumatran almost every day on the way into work.
xpost

sorry, but those chocolate donuts will forever be classic in my mind - even though they do taste fucked up

what the hell is "pret"?

it's a UK/NY thing

x-post

UK based sandwich joint that now has stores in NY.

http://www.pret.com/us/

pret means "ready" in frenchenese and I think from context it must be some kind of UK fast food chain.

the real name is pret-a-manger aka ready to eat

I've hated them ever since I went in and found a sign explaining that they had to raise the prices of some of their sandwiches which ended "Nightmare . . .". So obnoxious.

their coffee is better than starbucks. also they sold excellent hangover juice.

I always thought pret-a-manger had biblical connotations.

chocolate donuts will forever be classic in my mind

...and they've got the sugar I need to get me going in the morning.

Tza - I have no problems with the products sold - I liked it a lot in London actually. The wording on that sign just really irked me.

hmmm, that is understandable. what irks me is places with signs that put things in quotes that should not go in quotes. like "NEW" -- does that mean it's not really new? i imagine them saying "new" while making air quotes.

Uh oh

I think they should call that the grocers' quotation marks. xpost

http://stephensandbower.com/images/tacocats2.png

"FRESH"

omg taco kitty

"SPECIAL"

special = we peed in it
fresh = recently defrosted!

oh, c'mon. donuts are so overrated. ignore everything i said upthread. i love to eat french fries and pizza and stuff. i love to eat.

but, donuts?

are you homer simpson or something?

Back in my day when we wanted to mock someone for eating donuts, we called them a traffic cop!

hmmm, that is understandable. what irks me is places with signs that put things in quotes that should not go in quotes. like "NEW" -- does that mean it's not really new? i imagine them saying "new" while making air quotes.

Tesco's own brand lemonade used to have these labels where the regular kind said: Made with real lemons
and the sugar-free label said: Made "with" real lemons

I can't find them any more to do an in-depth thesis on what this could possibly mean.

i was visiting my mom last month and it turns out that every bottle of coke in her part of the world is made w/real sugar and not HFCS

there is no more effective "diet" than being wicked depressed.

My (now mentally-healthy, and working on the rest of it) fat ass *seriously* begs to differ on this one...

Also, if the above was Animal Style, I would eat that. (Like I said, "working on the rest of it").

The climactic five cheese bacon fried egg triple burger that finally brought the great burger arms race of 2001 to an end...might be a contender.

i wld like those taco cats on a t-shirt

Although there was also this whole era of sedentary lifestyle where routinely I would eat like donuts for breakfast, chinese buffet or fish fry for lunch, like an entire pizza + copious amounts of beer for dinner which I'm sure had many such days.

Probably when we went to China Buffet King for a staff night out at the end of last year. Serious damage was done. Sadly it wasn't till the 4th or 5th slice of cheesecake smothered with jelly and ice-cream that my body started catching up and I realised that I might have pushed it just that little too far.

The glutton is still strong in me though. I'm looking for partners to tackle the Pizza Hut all-you-can-eat buffet, which I haven't been to since I was a teenager.

You're making me kind of want to over-eat and head straight to food coma with action movie for distraction. I know it's terrible for me and in truth I will be uncomfortable and bloated, but the process of getting there is so indulgent and delicious. Hmmm what to have for dinner....

OMG COOKOUTS. When you intersperse your eating with volleyball or hackeysack etc over the course of an entire day it is maybe easier to break the 6k caloric threshhold without really noticing.

The real caloric danger zone is terrible cases of the munchies...like, how many calories are there in one tin of cashews? Probably a shit ton.

There's a lot of fat in nuts as well.

the Pizza Hut all-you-can-eat buffet,

Used to go to this regularly with work colleagues, the staff would be rolling their eyes going "shit it's these guys again" while we necked down slice after slice

surprised no one has mentioned Thanksgiving. italian beef sandwich + turkey + 2nd helpings of previous two + beer + sweet potatoes with marshmallows + potato caserole with a gangload of sour cream and cheese + whipped cream w/side of pumpkin pie

there is no more effective "diet" than being wicked depressed.
My (now mentally-healthy, and working on the rest of it) fat ass *seriously* begs to differ on this one...

I probably have some shameful answers to this thread if the memories weren't blanked out. Now the middle-aged metabolism has totally kicked in but I still have the food tastes of a kid. Mmm, sugar, salt, fats, carbs... kind of envious of people who claim to have hit 21 and suddenly lost their taste for all that.

I know it's terrible for me and in truth I will be uncomfortable and bloated

Yeah, that goes away. But if you pick a bad action movie, you'll still have to have that stored in your brain for a long time. For gosh sake, be careful!

Oh not to worry, I have something from the Vin Diesel straight-to-video back catalog. I'm in good hands.

Pizza buffets. Oh, I have done that too many times to count, and never with wise restraint.

On my recent bike trip I was eating an extra 3,000 calories to replace lost ones, but that's kind of against the spirit of the thread, right?

3000 extra a day??
awesome

girl sometimes…<3

no idea on the calorie count, but for Mother's and Father's days the fam goes to a churrascaria (Texas de Brazil) where they ply you with all manner of meats for hours on end + potatoes and plantains.

recently bought some noodles from the local chinatown supermarket. they're the usual dried noodles, called 'round dried broad vegetarian noodle' (mi chay dac biet). look like any old noodle, maybe a bit more shrivelled. however the nutritional information on the back says:

typical values per 100g:
energy 1920kj/960kcal
protein 4.5g
carbs 60g
fat 18.5g

ingredients:
wheat flour 87%, water 10%, vegetable oil 2%, salt 1%

those calorie & fat figures seem insanely high for what's just some dried noodles, about 3 times the usual i think. also how can they consist of 18.5% fat when there's only 2% veg oil used?

have they put the wrong label on the packet or is there some way that these noodles have supersonic amounts of fat? they taste pretty much the same as normal ones

That's really weird. It's like the oil would have to be 2000% fat or something like that.

You wouldn't make noodles with as much oil as 18.5 g of fat would be. The 2% figure is probably correct, and those percentages are generally rounded up (as the salt number definitely is) - it probably should be 1.85 g of fat (approx 2%) and someone botched the g/cal section of the label based on a misplaced decimal.

Yeah 960k for 100g is pretty (o_O) for noodles.

The first post pretty much sums it up for me. However many calories a dozen Dunken Donuts have. I still don't know how I did that and survived.

As I am at the beginning of a very serious attempt to finally lose the weight I put on throughout law school and underemployment, this thread is providing me with some pretty amusing and comforting perspective.

the other day i ate this big ridiculous steak & egg & pancake breakfast WITH bacon and grits (sidenote: never used pancakes to soak up blood steak juice before, fanTASTIC), then later ate fried banana peppers, beer cheese, pork tenderloin w/ sweet potatoes and yet more grits (this time w beer cheese in them!). they were like 12 hours apart but it still felt impressive.

oh yeah and i guess i ate a piece of birthday cake also

Damn, son. That is impressive.

http://content.ytmnd.com/content/0/3/3/033c93434a6f1c4a4c2d2af7cd41fd29.gif

wait is that keyboard cat??

Re: The China Town Noodles. The values are possibly all correct, but the conversion from Kj to kcal is wrong. 1920Kj is about 450Kcal. Which at 4kcal/g for protein and carbs, and 9kcal/g fat kinda adds up.

On the subject though, we used to occasionally have eating competitions at my old flat. One was a KFC family bucket (including the 1.5l Pepsi), which was definitely over 4000 calories when we checked the nutritional info on their website. Doubt I've ever breached 5000calories in a day, though as others said; beer could easily push some days up by a thousand or so.

calorie totals = info I don't need

seriously on an unconscious quest to put back on all the weight i've lost over the last three years or so.

"extra cheese? WHY THANK YOU."

couldn't really break it down calorically by day, but this past weekend trip to visit friends was out of control--
-omelette loaded w/ fried potatoes, bacon, onion and 3 cheeses
-smoked amish ham crepe with gruyere, carmalized onions & chutney.
-an empanada full of gorgonzola, thyme, mushroom & onions
-another empanada with sauteed beef, onions & bell peppers,
-with a side slice of BBQ chicken pizza
-chorizo & huevos.
-big asss box of Reese's Pieces at the movie theatre

lots of booze

NI - I don't work in KCals but one possible explanation is that they're not dried noodles but fried noodles, like instant ramen noodles.

according to wikipedia 100g of instant ramen contains 17g of fat. maybe they mixed up nutritional labels at the plant? wouldn't be surprised..

a label mixup sounds likely - but if craigG is right about the kj>cals thing then it's likely just bad labelling (getting the fat content wrong too). im surprised as i thought food standards folks wouldn't allow this to happen, maybe checks aren't as strict re: imported foods?

lots of booze
