In Scotland we have a tradition of steak and kidney pies for New Year. As most people know, these consist of beef, kidney, carrot and onion with a pastry topping. We usually prepare these for 6 to 10 people and I think Jack could polish off about 3 or 4 of these before he started craving his pudding.

However, knowing the English penchant for preparing single pies, I ask how many single pies Jack could scoff in a sitting?

Melton Mowbray pork pies, Scotch pies, or whatever was on offer, could Jack beat a record for filling his fat, lazy belly? Surely not.

Although Jack is a fat, lazy bastard, I don’t think he would have the wherewithal to provide the stamina to eat enough pies to win a record.

Could he do it or not?
