A CAFE in Bromsgrove has served up the UK’s biggest breakfast sandwich which weighs over 5lbs, has five layers and stands at more than a foot tall.
Big Dave’s Cafe owner David Blackburn, 48, says the staggering sandwich is a dream come true for any full English breakfast lover - but admits it’s even too much for him to attempt.
The sandwich is made from freshly baked bread which is sliced into three massive loaves before it is stuffed with all of the usual suspects.
The 4,000 calorie monstrosity has five pork sausages, five bacon rashers, five eggs, 800g of beans, 800g of tomatoes, 500g of mushrooms and a selection of black pudding, haggis, hash browns or all three.
Punters who want to attempt the massive meal at the eatery in Worcester Road will have 40 minutes to chomp it down or they’ll have to fork out £20.
David, who’s owned the cafe for eight years, says his only advice for those who hope to finish it is to come in hungry.
He said: “It’s one of our breakfasts - it’s five pork sausages, five bacon, five eggs, double beans and tomatoes, and mushrooms and either black pudding, haggis or hashbrown or all three and it’s all on our crispy bread.
“It’s baked fresh every morning - it’s lovely. It’s quite entertaining to watch - it’s just so massive but I couldn’t do it, not even close.
“It’s the dream sandwich for any English breakfast lover, really.
“My advice is come hungry because you won’t leave hungry.”
So far, 80 people have attempted the behemoth but only six have managed to conquer it in the six years it has been on the menu.
David got the idea to create the hefty fry-up many years ago when he found videos of competitive eaters incredibly entertaining.
His carbohydrate-heavy delight has stood the test of time and has only been defeated once in the last five years.
David said: “It’s delicious but it’s so just so massive, maybe too massive for me.
“But I definitely recommend it - it’s like having all of your favourite bits of the English breakfast contained in one bite between some bread.”
