My ex got one once. His intent was for us all to share it but Angela and I
wanted no part of it. It took forever to cook and was topped with stuff like
fried eggs, pineapple and all kinds of sauces. I know there was more. Can't
remember what. It looked and smelled disgusting. He wound up having to eat
it with a fork then complained that he couldn't pick it up and it was so
large that he couldn't get everything in one bite. Most of it went uneaten,
he wound up being covered in sauce and I was out $24.
For some reason, big food appeals to some people. Usually men. He loved big
steaks too and wouldn't order a steak that he considered to be too small. I
remember my dad telling him, "Just order two of them!" His reply was that it
wouldn't be the same.
