In this week's episode we're in Nottingham...the land of heroes like Robin Hood and...erm...Brian Clough...
So I'm going to try to do my best to follow in their footsteps and claim victory over Piggy's Gastro Grub's Mega Munch Box Challenge!
Connoisseurs of crust get just 30 MINUTES in which to finish TWO SANDWICHES of their choice, ONE WRAP filled to their liking, a ONE AND A HALF FOOT LONG SAUSAGE ROLL, a choice of TWO COOKIES from their ever changing cookie cabinet, ONE BAG OF CRISPS of your selection, ONE FIZZY DRINK from the abundantly stocked fridge, TWO GIANT SCOTCH EGGS and ONE GIANT CHEESE MALLET on the side...
The video follows a food challenge at Piggy's Gastro Grub in Nottingham, where the host attempts to eat a massive \"Monster Piggy Lunchbox\" within 30 minutes to get the meal for free. Despite the daunting volume of food and a tight time limit, he navigates the variety of traditional British snacks and sandwiches to complete the challenge.
Alright, now I would say it's pretty rare to find me excited
at the prospect of eating what you would probably call
traditional British grub, but I'm looking forward to this one.
Why?
I think because when I was a kid,
I would never really do the whole hot school dinner thing.
My mum would send me to school with a lovingly packed lunchbox,
and this is basically a giant version of that.
I thought they might have been coming
to arrest me there for severe crimes against fashion.
Shall we get inside?
There was no real way to do that and make it look sort of slick.
Keep the flies out, Sol.
Keep the flies out.
Part of the difficulty of this episode might be the actual filming,
because as you can see, it is quite a hokey restaurant.
Cafe, hole in the wall.
It's cozy, at least.
That's that's a better word. Cozy.
We got the drinks.
Oh, that's nice.
On a hot day like that, I might just leave this open.
I'm joking. Oh, yeah, I won't.
All right, so this is what we're doing today.
Alright, there's no need to swear.
Family friendly channel.
Says here, your mission, should you choose to accept it,
is a one and a half foot sausage roll,
brackets, yes, a foot and a half,
Two homemade scotch eggs, two sandwiches of your choice,
two cheese straws, two stuffed cookies,
crisps and a can of pop. That's that's childhood in a box, isn't it?
Wolf all of this in under 30
minutes and you get the lot for free.
Fail and you'll be rolling out the shop disappointed and
with the bill. I don't know if anyone's done it yet.
We'll find out. Has anyone done it? Yeah.
Yeah? Yeah. 26 minutes. Liam.
26 minutes? Biggest competition, yes.
I've got to choose this flavour. I'm on the front of the packet.
**** it.
You know, it's alright. I could get some here.
I could be like the bartender for the day.
You're going to have to be.
The fridge tender. Two can of oranges coming up.
Nice game!
How much do you earn an hour here?
Should we order this thing?
One monster piggy lunchbox challenge.
Of course you can.
What sandwich? Sandwich number one, tell me. White or brown bread?
it's got to be brown oh interesting okay
a little bit more nutritious, what do i get to choose from
we've got pulled ham, chicken mayo, tandoori chicken
tuna, cheese, egg, i'll go with the pulled ham yeah
i think i have a little barbecue on the pulled ham yeah
and for the wrap i'll go with the tandoori
chicken, good idea yeah
and what sauce, i think i get a little salad cream on that maybe
Controversial!
Controversial!
That's the worst thing you've ever heard.
Tandoori chicken and salad cream is bad.
This is going to be award winning
sexy egg mayo b-roll.
Award
winning.
Are you sure about salad cream?
I've done it now, yeah.
Could be starting a trend here.
Tandoori chicken sandwich with salad cream.
Might be good, you never know.
Okay, we can do this.
The food is too big
To fit inside the box.
the cookies are slightly too tumescent you might
have some like tandoori flavored kinder cookie
if anyone would eat a tandoori cookie it's me
that looks absolutely delicious, look at those scotch
eggs, those are like uh tv commercial scotch eggs
it looks like i mean it almost made that plastic
they look so good i thought
your cheese straw, oh i almost got off lightly then
that's really more like a cheese baton what
do you reckon you can finish that no
This is going to be harder than I originally thought it would be.
I don't even know how to eat that cheese straw. That's rock solid, man.
I've never had one of those before.
All right, today we're at a place called
Piggy's Gastro Grub, which is in Nottingham.
Nottingham, yeah.
A couple of sandwiches, fully loaded, cookies, a wrap,
a one and a half foot sausage roll, scotch eggs, a cheese straw,
a mandatory drink, and some crisps.
You get 30 minutes to finish.
30 minutes, yeah.
And only one person has done this.
Only one person has done that.
She was struggling.
That last mouthful.
It was going to come back up, but don't you dare.
Would I?
Alright, ready?
Three, two, one, go.
Where should I start?
The ham?
God's sake.
Look at that.
That's one of those Instagram sandwiches.
Look at that.
Looks yummy.
Oh, yeah.
Good.
Just didn't watch your fingers.
Yeah.
Good
sandwich.
You might need them.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, I think we'll do the wrap next.
This is the tandoori wrap with salad cream.
How bad could it be?
Come
on.
I think it works.
That's not bad at all.
I think you're putting on a brave face for YouTube.
I highly recommend salad cream in there.
Do it again.
Does it sound like good work?
Well, I mean, I'll take your word for it, but.
I don't have a spicy, spicy mayo.
Five minutes down, Adam.
Five minutes?
Five minutes.
You better get the move on.
I know, I'm lollygagging here.
Food's too good to rush. It's too good to rush.
There's like a bit of a sauce in here.
This is one of those challenges that looks like it's easy,
but if you think of the weight...
You're not even starting to draw it yet.
The sausage rolls are what, a foot and a half long?
A foot and a half.
It's so big it doesn't fit in the actual box.
Excuse me.
You just have to be considerate.
Of course.
I know, it's really, really fast.
I don't know.
I'm too greasy.
Can I have a cuttle, please?
Uh, the regular one?
Regular four-five, yes please.
Uh, there is no fat coke, but okay.
Uh, sweet chilli crisps.
Chilis.
Woo!
I don't like the tactic of that, do I?
Try and slow him down.
No, I ain't.
Watch your hammer.
Do you have any, uh, any brown sauce?
I do, yeah, just the brown sauce.
Just for the sausage roll.
You've gotta have brown sauce for the sausage roll.
Three.
No problem, thank you.
A little bit of brown sauce for dipping.
See, just to say.
Ten minutes down, Adam.
Ten minutes?
Fifteen minutes if you want to beat that record.
Fifteen.
Fifteen.
Told you!
Ugh.
Look at that.
That might be the finest Scotch egg I have ever seen.
White or brown rotisserie?
White.
White.
That's good enough.
I love
that.
Hey, how you doing, Adam?
This is five minutes.
Oh!
Thirteen minutes!
Egg mayo.
Classic.
Mate, you've just passed fifteen minutes, mate.
Fifteen minutes to go.
Oh!
This is hard work.
Thank you.
First time I've had to sit on a windowsill
for a food challenge. My bum has gone numb.
It's all good.
Honestly, I have no idea how you're supposed
to eat this thing.
We've got about a drink.
Just now? Yeah?
12 minutes left Adam.
Chris, sorry.
Mine was too greasy.
Snoop's an absolute beast.
Opened in my eyes.
Oh, I'm gonna have HP flavoured cookies here.
Cookie number one.
Wait, just under four minutes to beat the record.
Eight minutes 50 left.
Watch the other.
We're not there yet.
I almost went to like actively dip the cookies in the HP sauce now.
I'm all for interesting flavor combinations but HP sauce on cookies.
It's not the one. I still did it.
I don't know what's... I dipped it in the brown sauce.
Three minutes to beat the record.
Gotta finish the drink too.
I don't think I'll be in class either.
This has been Miss Food and that was Piggy's Gastro Grub's Mega Box.
Do you enjoy it?
The scotch eggs were delicious.
I really enjoyed those.
Oh, good.
Do you have a nap now?
Yeah.
I think so.
I'm going to turn him off.
I'm going to turn him out of time.
Look at what he's driving her.
I've got to ask you a question.
Do you have anything else to eat today?
Well, do you have a dessert menu?
We've got some homemade brownies.
I've got some Oreo or salted pretzel.
Which is the best one?
We've got some homemade brownies, I've got some Oreo or salted pretzel.
Which is the best one?
Mmm. Brownie.
I make them, so I'm going to save them.
Can I go with the salted pretzel?
Of course you can.
Thank you.
Oh, this looks delicious.
Thank you.
They were made last night.
Fresh.
That was a lot harder than I expected it to be.
Couldn't say no to the brownie though.
Nice to meet
you, man.
Wake up!
I should put a little makeup.
What he was supposed to say was grab a brush and put a little makeup.
I think he got stage fright though.
