Many people will think of holidays as the perfect opportunity to indulge in whatever foods they’d fancy, especially if you’re staying in an all-inclusive resort. Whether it’s trying new and exotic foods native to where you’re currently on holiday or sticking with British classics, food on holiday will always taste better than at home.

Because of this, one Brit decided to attempt the famous belly buster challenge of eating a huge portion of a fry up while on a recent lads holiday to Bendiorm. However, it didn’t go as well as he’d hope as he was soon mocked over his ‘pathetic’ attempt.

Jak Aitcheson, from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, looked happy and relaxed before tucking into it in Brit bar Uncle Ron’s in the Spanish resort on Sunday (6 Jul). The belly buster challenge fry up, which has a success rate of just 3%, consists of four sausages, four slices of bacon, four fried eggs and four hash browns. It also comes with four pieces of toast and fried bread, six tomatoes, half a large tin of baked beans and 10 mushrooms.

The 2,760-calorie breakfast costs just €9 (£7.70) but has to be eaten in 20 minutes in order for someone to say they’ve successfully beaten the challenge, the challenge’s rules reads.

Jak was soon slumping his chair, looking defeated and dejected afterwards, as he accepted his defeat, with his plate looking almost just as full as it had at the start of the challenge.

Photos of Jak were soon shared onto Uncle Ron’s social media page, where several fellow Brits soon took to the comment section to point out that he’d barely made a dent in his breakfast meal.

“What did he eat? The butter off the toast?” one user asked, while another person said: “Jak, pathetic. Stick to your warm milk and a rusk from now on.”

A third user wrote: “Bet that third bean pushed him over the edge.” Meanwhile, another person asked: “Did he just shuffle some beans around?”

“He finished with more food than he started with,” another person jokingly said.

A sixth person added: “I’ve seen seagulls dive-bombing for chips that take larger amounts.”

Thankfully for Jak, at least one person rushed to his defence, as they wrote: “In all fairness, the fried bread, chips, and huge amount of toast would stop most in their tracks.”

Jak seemed to take the ribbing in good spirits. He went on to say that he’d nodded off mid-challenge and that his friend Dean had sneakily piled his leftovers onto his plate.

“I’ve still not been to sleep since Wednesday night, lost about two stone, and I’m famous on the strip for eating three beans,” Jak said.
