Bizarre Picture of giant 10ft conger eel that makes feeding the 5,000 seem possible


Friday, October 2, 2009

We have all heard how Jesus fed the five thousand with a single fish and just three loaves of bread.

Well this incredible 10ft conger eel makes the biblical miracle seem much more possible.

Caught off the British coast, the huge fish weighs a hefty 100lb (45kg) and is nearly twice as long as its new owner Matt Endacott.

And the fishmonger is offering to sell the entire eel for a giant supper until Saturday.

Fishmonger Matt bought the giant eel at market because it was the biggest he'd ever seen.

The average conger eel weighs just 5kg and is around 3ft.

This outstanding example was caught by sea fisherman Dean Corbett of Torquay, Devon, who sold it to Matt for £50.

Matt, of Jackson Ltd, Newton Abbot, Devon, is now asking if anyone will buy the giant eel whole before he cuts it into pieces.

He said: 'It is the biggest one I have ever seen.

'We had one a few years ago that was 8ft, but this is 10ft.

'It is a vast specimen and weighs 46kg gutted.

'Luckily we have large slab and can take a fish this size.

'Supermarkets have smaller slabs and would never be able to show it to the public.

'We will have it on a slab until Saturday afternoon and then will prep it up and sell it fresh and smoked.'

Conger eel is not a popular dish in the UK because they are an ugly fish - but Matt claims it is delicious.

He said: 'It is certainly underrated in the country as a product because it's a large, ugly and slimy looking beast.'

The largest conger eel caught in England was snared off Falmouth in Cornwall and weighed 210lb (95kg).

The world record is held in Iceland for an eel weighing 305lb (139kg).

The conger eel can be found all around the coast of Britain.

It favours wrecks, reefs and rough, rocky habitats.

During the night they tend to swim in shallower waters closer to the shore.

Despite its enormous size and aggressive appearance, the conger eel is a shy creature and hastily retreats to its lair when threatened.

The 10 Heart Attack Hamburgers

Friday, September 11, 2009

Hamburgers, next to apple pie and statins they’re the ambassadors of American cuisine–for better or for worse–and these harbingers of heart disease might be the baddest of all.

Here are 10 over the top hamburgers that are guaranteed to clog your arteries by just looking that them:
1. The Quadruple Bypass Burger

The Quadruple Bypass Burger from the Heart Attack Grill; four burger patties with side orders of Jolt Cola, unfiltered Lucky Strike cigarettes and French fries deep-fried in pure lard.
2.McSurf n’ Turf

While this burger is definitely going to jack your cholesterol up a few points from all the saturated fat in the 1/4 lber patty, hopefully some of the Omega 3 Fatty acids from the fish (if that really is fish), will help counter off some of the negative effects on your health.
This lovely blend of beef and fish comes equipped with 1 1/4 pounder patty, 1 filet of fish patty, numerous slices of cheese, tartar sauce and 3 bun pieces.
3. Big Daddy Barrick Burger

Sonya Thomas, a 5′5 99-pound competitive eating champion, downed an 18 pound Big Daddy Barrick Burger in Las Vegas a few years ago.

4.Mega Mel Burger

The Mega Mel Burger might just be the biggest burger to ever walk this planet (Cows walk before they are slaughtered so shut it). The burger contains 1.5 lbs of fresh ground beef, 1 lb of bacon, 1/4 lb of American cheese, lots of lettuce,tomatoes and pickles.
This burger is offered at Mel’s Country Cafe located in Tomball, Texas. What makes this burger EXTRA special is that if you can finish the ENTIRE thing in two hours, you even get to put your name on the wall! You can have your name in the lights with hundreds of other obese Americans! Just make sure you don’t let anybody pick off your plate or you will be disqualified.
5. The Hotdog Hamburger
This one hails from England. I’m not sure what it’s called, but it’s a hamburger with a chopped hotdog on top.
6. Mulligan’s Monster

Mulligan’s invented the Hamdog, one hotdog wrapped in a beef patty and cheese, then deep-fried, covered with chili and onions and served on a bun with a fried egg on top.
7. 7 Patty 2 lbs McDonalds Cheese Burger

McDonalds has long been ranked the ‘King of Cholesterol’ and this was for the standard foods they offer. When I saw this picture of a 7 patty 2lbs cheese burger I personally upped their status from King of Cholesterol to Empire.
8. Dyer’s Burgers

Dyer’s Burgers are deep-fried hamburgers piled with mustard, onion and pickle and paired with a single, double or triple-order of cheese fries.
9. Whatafarm Burger

Whataburger puts the entire farm in one sandwich; bacon, cheese, fried egg, burger patty, and chicken cutlet. They affectionately call it the “Whatafarm” burger.
10. Luther Burger

Another Mulligan’s creation, the Luther Burger. Named after Luther Vandross it’s a bacon cheeseburger sandwiched between two glazed donuts.
