THE UNDEFEATED CODBUSTER GIANT FISH & CHIP CHALLENGE | C.O.B. Ep.171

Fish & Chips...Some say the pinnacle of British cuisine...I'm not sure I'd agree, but one thing I do know is that we can't have an undefeated chippy platter challenge just sat there can we? Today's mission...Give it a heavy battering!
£18 is the cost to partake in Misterton Chippy & Bistro's 'Cod Buster' challenge. 32oz of fish, battered, accompanied by nigh on 4lb of chips, gravy, curry sauce, mushy peas, beans and two slices of buttered bread. Down it all inside 40 minutes and it's yours on the house. And so too is a coveted winners t-shirt!

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS & ADDITIONAL INFO:
Q: How come you don’t get fat?
A: I eat like this for 1 hour of a 168 hour long week. In simple terms, I eat at caloric maintenance over the course of time, meaning I don’t gain weight. If you're interested in learning more, see the 'It Was Just A Normal Day...' video.
Q: Don’t you worry about your health?
A: Not in particular. I’m active. I eat nutrient dense foods five days a week. And, I get quarterly bloods done, amongst other health checks.

[@Beardmeatsfood]

I’ll be damned, Thursday again! I hope you’re all having a great week and I’m incredibly grateful to see you back again for another video. Tonight’s episode of TCOB is probably one of my favourites of the year, so I hope you enjoy it just as much. Of course if you hate it, feel free to let rip in the comments ;) NB: For the international audience, I understand you may be confused that there’s a bowl of fried pieces of batter in the bottom left corner which remain uneaten. In Britain we call these ‘scraps’ which I understand might be lost in translation to those overseas. These do not have to be eaten as part of the challenge, I assume because they’re just loose bits of fried batter that accumulate in the fryers of most chippies. I hope that clears up any potential confusion.

@kvatch we're on the ship heading towards Orkney Island. We've thoroughly enjoyed and exhausted ourselves by doing full day tours at every port. The Crown will be a rest stop for sure.

In Boston USA, fish and chips costs $24 USdollars for about 1/8 the size of that dish. In the past 5 years, restaurant prices have doubled while my pay has gone down. maybe it's time to move and retire in the north of England.

[@TrueBrit1]

@@TonyRedunzo There's a saying we have here, and that is "It's grim up north". But there's many really nice places there, just like all over the UK. The cost of living up there is cheaper, and especially housing. I've been to the US many times, about 20 holidays actually since 2001, and have visited about 10 different states, and I can agree that things have got very expensive there. Once upon a time, back in the 2000s to early 2010s, it was cheaper there compared to here, and we had a great time eating cheaply and bringing home lots of stuff that was cheaper there. But the last few times we've been 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 (twice each year), we've noticed it getting more expensive each time. We aim to go back though one day, but only when the stupid v@xx requirements are ended, but it may then be so expensive we wouldn't go!

I have watched a bunch of your challenges and your mental stamina is ridiculous!!! Off the charts!!!

[@rebelnz7837]

Holy shit!! Those were some MASSIVE pieces of fish, an absolute ton of chips and sooo much sauce, gravy, peas and beans.. I honestly don't know how you did that, especially drinking all that water and not being sick. Legend!

[@ludicrous7044]

He washes everything down with a liquid after chewing it lightly!! In competition they hardly chew at all!😧 Mommy said chew it or you will ruin your stomach and don’t wash it down!! Why is there a video cut after every bite??🤷🏻‍♀️ This behavior must be damaging to the body. The rules are you must not vomit during the challenge but you can afterwards!! You have about an hour to purge or you may get a intestinal blockage due to the sheer mass! He couldn’t do three or four a week without purging!! He probably eats healthy between challenges.

Awesome! £18 a bargain even if not attempting the challenge. That fish looked bloody beautiful as well. Well Done Mr Beard! 👏

The British are also masters of naming pubs. "The Pot and Squid and Fish and Potato." You sit back and wonder why. Then you realize that some things are just naturally beautiful and it's better not to question it.
