Could you eat this 5,000 calorie meal?

This belly-busting burger could be the biggest in Britain - and it is on the menu at a Shropshire diner.

Bosses at Oscar's in Telford claim there is no bigger burger in the country than the Titanic and have set up a new challenge for anyone brave enough to try and sink it.

For £15, competitors eating at the diner attached to the Odeon Cinema in the town get 45 minutes to clear their plates, which also include chips, salad and a pint of milkshake, for the chance to win a T-shirt which proudly proclaims "I Sank The Titanic" and have their picture on a wall of honour.

But it is not for the faint-hearted. Oscar's owner Tony Kular said of the 100-odd people to take it on since it started two weeks ago, only 15 had triumphed.

The burger itself is thought to contain a whopping 5,000 calories - more than double the recommended daily calorie intake for an average man.

Squashed between a burger bun is two 1lb beef patties, an 8oz chicken breast, six rashers of bacon, two potato waffles, four onion rings, lettuce, onion and pickles.

Mr Kular said: "We wanted to do something a bit quirky by introducing a food or an eating challenge to the restaurant.

"People have come from all over, from Wales to Birmingham to try it out. Not many have succeeded."
