A restaurant is offering customers the polar opposite of today's healthy diet - a 6,000 calorie menu inspired by an Antarctic explorer.
The £75 four-course feast is honouring the exploits of adventurer Sir Ernest Shackleton.
He tried, unsuccessfully, to become the first person to reach the South Pole a century ago.
The gut-busting grub includes pork scratchings, a 20oz steak and a thick stew called "hoosh".
This is all washed down with wine, beer and an ice cream shake.
The meal, offered at the Green Door Bar and Grill in London, contains the recommended amount of calories a grown woman should eat in three days.
Shackleton sets off for the Antarctic
It represents the amount that a seven-strong British team hoping to complete Shackleton's failed journey to the South Pole must eat each day to maintain their strength.
Also, £10 from each meal sold will go towards an attempt by descendants of Shackleton and his team to try to complete the mission their ancestors failed back in 1909

N.B If you go to this restaurant with me please add 10x bottles of stella at 240 calories this is of course optional as I will accept Black Bushmills as a low calorie alternative
