Kidz Breakfast: Giant breakfast boosts cafe's business

It prompted calls for it to be banned and had one expert warning that someone could die after eating it.

But the "Kidz Breakfast", described as weighing the same as a small child, has remained the talk of a Norfolk seaside town.

Consisting of a dozen sausages, 12 bacon rashers and enough eggs to be produced from a coop of chickens in a week, Jesters Diner's fry-up in Great Yarmouth contains more than 6,000 calories and weighs in at 9lb (4.08kg).


I remember reading about this story last year. Good to see a follow up.

That's not a breakfast - that's a buffet.

There's nowhere near enough black pudding! And are those chips I see? Potato has no place at the breakfast table! 8O

Seriously though. You'd order it as a family/group wouldn't you? Especially as the cafe is in a holiday resort, you'd order it as a laugh on hols.

And how would you die from eating it? Throw up halfway through, I could understand, but actually die?

It would have to be a fairly large family - say, 6 or 7 people at least I'd expect.
