A RESTAURANT in London is offering its clients a gut-busting 6,000 calorie menu which has been created in honour of the adventurer Sir Ernest Shackleton, who tried and failed to become the first person to reach the South Pole a century ago.
The menu offered at the Green Door Bar and Grill, which costs 95 euros includes pork scratchings, a large Aberdeen Angus steak, a thick stew called “hoosh” and chocolate fondant with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. All this is washed down with beer, wine and an ice cream milk shake. This menu represents the total amount that a seven strong team must eat as a whole each day to keep up their strength on a polar expedition. The restaurant’s owner has said that 12 euros from each meal sold will go towards an attempt by descendants of Shackleton and their team to try to complete the mission their ancestors failed back in 1909.
