Man wolfs down mammoth 3,225-calorie breakfast - with 18 Yorkshire puddings

When you think of a full English breakfast you might think of bacon, egg, baked beans, hash browns and maybe even a some mushrooms - but maybe not Yorkshire Puddings? However, when a dad-of-two saw that a pub was serving a giant English breakfast, he just had to give it a go.

But in order to keep it more his style, self-confessed Yorkshire pudding addict Jake Farrar decided to swap the toast for 18 Aunt Bessie Yorkshire puddings - and even drizzled it with gravy.

Jake, from Middlesbrough, claims he eats 20 Yorkshire puddings every day, so for him it was no problem wolfing down the 3,225 calorie breakfast in just 25 minutes. In addition to the Yorkies, which are normally paired with a traditional roast dinner, the plate included six sausages, four fried eggs, three rashers of bacon, as well as three servings of mushrooms, baked beans and hash browns.

He explained: "I saw a pub had posted a large breakfast online so I thought I'd give it a go. I wanted to make it more my style so I swapped the toast with Yorkshire puddings. I eat around 20 Yorkshires a day normally so it wasn't too much of a struggle."

According to Jake, the "beans and sausages went amazing with the Yorkshires" and they "soaked up the tomato juice and just tasted really good". He added: "Fried mushrooms are really underrated too so they went so well with the puddings. It's fair to say I was pretty full up after it all."

'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'

Jake, who claims to be 'Britain's biggest Yorkshire pudding lover', previously wowed Brits after eating 600 Yorkshire puddings last Christmas. The self-confessed addict spends £7,300-a-year on his favourite food - which he has for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Jake previously appeared on ITV's This Morning, and explained how he used to have restrictions on how many Yorkshire puddings he could have on his plate.

Speaking to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, he added: "As a kid I was restricted, and then as I got older and got told I could make my own rules, I could have as many as I want." He also explained that while he does love Aunt Bessies, he does like to make his own when he has the time - and his secret in ingredient is garlic salt, which "just gives it that nice taste" and makes it "perfect".
