THE owner of a seaside cafe in Norfolk, UK, has been forced to defend a special holiday offer called a Kidz Breakfast. The monster meal available at Jester’s Diner in Great Yarmouth includes 12 rashers of bacon, a dozen sausages and lots of eggs - plus lashings of baked beans and of course lots of toast. It’s not clear how the meal got its name, but some have quipped that at nearly 5kg it actually weighs about the same as a small child. The Kidz Breakfast (pictured below) is free if you eat it in an hour, or £15 if you fail. Since being added to the menu about 18 months ago only one person has managed to scoff the lot without having to pay - “competitive eater” Robert Pinto, who amazingly finished it off in less than 30 minutes. The cafe’s owner has defended the meal from accusations that it’s promoting unhealthy eating. “I’m just one guy with a few staff trying to get people to have a good time,” he said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime challenge,” he added. And as for eating superstar Pinto, he told reporters that he doesn’t even like breakfast. “I just did it for a laugh,” he said.
