This one reminds me of another, earlier time in my personal eating history. This one also involves my (then future) wife, as well as some other buddies, and happened during summer military training.
We'd been on exercise for about 2.5 weeks, and the training involved long days of demanding physical labour (basic infantry fighting skills) where you might spend 12-14 hours practicing dashing and diving and rolling and advancing on an enemy with a bunch of gear, weapon, ammo etc. Everyone also got their turn lugging the machine gun or tripod or anti-armour weapon or whatever else they had that was heavy to make it a little tougher, in intervals.
So you'd do that all day, and then spend the night setting up bivouac/hides which would involve digging a slit trench (more physical labour) in rock hard glacial till, and then hope to get only one sentry shift in the two to four hours remaining for potential sleep. Eating (crappy rations) was done quickly, if at all, and often suffered as sleep took priority.
Anyway, all this just to say that it was probably the most physically demanding time I've ever spent, and after 2.5 weeks my already skinny-ass frame was down 15 pounds.
So they let us into town for a night.
First stop, Tim Hortons. I ate a clean dozen boston cream donuts. Second stop, Dairy Queen for a (then brand new) Oreo Blizzard (large). Then McD's for a regular meal (burger, fires, etc) after those appetizers. Then to the beer store, where we picked up a two-four, to split between four people.
That was certainly the most calories I'd packed in in one extended sitting. At the end of it, I didn't even feel full. Not sure I'd want to try it again, though, with my older (and less skinny-ass) frame.
