There was a time when it seemed like we were writing about eating challenges on Sick Chirpse every other week, but it feels like they’re few and far between these days. Only so many ways you can eat a cooked breakfast I guess.

Anyway, The George Pub & Grill in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham are trying to get us back into it by stating that they’ll pay for any taxis to the hospital if their monstrous 8000 calorie Parmo Kebab Sandwich causes anyone a heart attack. The meal contains a whole bunch of kebab meat stuffed between two chicken parmos, drenched in melted cheese. Looks banging to be fair.

Here’s what restaurant owner Craig Harkner had to say about it:

Over 100 have tried it and I think there’s a handful of people who’ve managed it.

The reason we put the free lift for the ambulance is because everyone looks like they’re in an absolute food coma afterwards.

Sometimes I’m worried about them when I see them sat there with the meat sweats and I think ‘I need to pay to get these to hospital’.

If anyone has a heart attack while eating this then we will pay for a taxi to the hospital. If someone does pop their clogs then we’ll chip in on the headstone. Dig in!

I get that they’re trying to do banter there but I’m not sure if it’s actually that funny that this sandwich might kill someone or send them to the hospital. I reckon if that did happen then they probably wouldn’t be laughing anymore. Let’s pray that it doesn’t, especially over Xmas.

Anyway, the sandwich looks great and I would love to check it out sometime if anyone wants to send me up to Stockton-on-Tees. Can’t beat a good parmo. Love it.

For more of the same, check out the original Parmo kebab. That really was special back in the day.
