'I tried Smithy's infamous takeaway order from Gavin & Stacey and it completely broke me'

Chicken bhuna, lamb bhuna, prawn bhuna, mushroom rice, bag of chips, keema naan and nine poppadoms... and a saag aloo. You get the gist.

Smithy's Indian order from Gavin & Stacey - delivered in one of TV's most memorable rants after he's faced with the risk of sharing his food - is so well-known that it's sold on tea towels, t-shirts and mugs across the UK, especially on Barry Island.

It's also, clearly, too much food for one person to eat. It's a line from a comedy programme, spoken by a character who eats three turkey dinners on Christmas Day. It's ridiculous - impossible. That's why I decided to try and eat it.
