Mister Spaghetti's 2.3kg XL Challenge

Mister Spaghetti is a Flemish pasta chain with restaurants from the coast to the Flemish Ardennes, and every branch offers the XL Challenge. It's a 2.3kg plate of spaghetti with sauce, and you've got 30 minutes to clear it, sauce and toppings included. Finishers go on a Wall of Fame, and those who fail go on the Wall of Shame.

What you'll be eating

A 2.3kg plate of spaghetti with sauce and toppings.

What you win

Finish within 30 minutes and the meal is free, plus a place on the Wall of Fame. Fail and you go on the Wall of Shame, but you can take the leftovers home.

Before you go

No help, no sharing and no tools, but drinks are allowed. You get one attempt per day, and the timer starts when the plate is served.
