Herriman Saturday: February 5 1910
"Boots" Repeti is reported to have broken the world eating record (whatever that might be). He did so with an oddly timed mid-winter Thanksgiving dinner. At the Washington Navy Yard, Mr. Repeti sat down for a refreshing repast of the following:
9 pound roast turkey
1 quart cranberries
3 quarts sauerkraut
1 loaf bread
1/2 pint olive oil
1/2 gallon raw oysters
1 pint ketchup
12 stalks celery
2 gallons beer
4 glasses water
Isn't it amazing how far we've progressed in a hundred years? Isn't this pretty much the same list as the McDonald's Super-Size Meal #6? Well, with Mountain Dew instead of beer, of course.
