You may remember during the week when we brought you a tantalising list of the BIGGEST breakfasts in Ireland. Well, iRadio’s Steven Cooper and Oonagh O’Carroll recently decided to take on the Murphy’s Law breakfast challenge.

Good friend of JOE, Steven Cooper, says himself at the end of the video that he wouldn’t call his attempt a FAIL, but we hate to break it to you Steven, it was a fail of epic proportions… just like the breakfast.

In fairness to Cooper and Oonagh they had an absolute mountain of food to scoff down in the 30-minute time frame and it’s no surprise that they didn’t finish the mammoth breakfast seeing as only one person has ever finished the challenge.

The meal includes four eggs, four pieces of rasher, four sausages, four hash browns, four black & four white pieces of pudding, four pieces of fried tomato, a large portion of fried mushrooms, a side bowl of beans and a bowl of chips.

It was a decent attempt and we just hope they got some doggy bags for the left overs. You can check out more of Cooper’s work over on the Engine Room Show with Dave Moore, Dave Humphreys and of course, Cooper himself.
