The Gut Buster interview

Visible to anyone in the world

There's a small and friendly restaurant in Head Street, Colchester which has recently started advertising "Gut Buster" meals. Intrigued, I did a modicum of research before going in and inviting the proprietor Trev to do an impromptu interview on my blog.

Me: Thanks for coming along Trev.

Trev: My pleasure William. I see it as advertising. All publicity is good publicity. Does your blog attract many visitors?

Me: There's a steady trickle. How's business?

Trev: We're doing good. Full for breakfast, full for dinner.

Me: Dinner being lunch?

Trev: Whatever.

Me: Do you attribute this to your Gut Buster menu?

Trev: Definitely.

Me: What's your Gut Buster breakfast?

Trev: Fried bread, fried eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, hash browns and black pudding. All for £3.50.

Me: And what do you fry your food with?

Trev: Lard. No fancy oils or nothing. Proper English lard like my mother used to use. Everything fried except the beans.

Me: We've done an analysis of your average breakfast. It contains 62 grams of saturated fat, 1650 kilocalories and 11 grams of salt.

Trev: Makes your mouth water, don't it?

Me: Irresistible. But is it good for your health?

Trev: My mother lived to 92, and she smoked.

Me: And your father?

Trev: He left home when I was a nipper. Never saw him again.

Me: The government recommends no more than 25 grams of saturated fat a day, and 6 grams of salt.

Trev: They don't know nothing.

Me: Do you every worry about the obesity epidemic?

Trev: Nah. A bit of what you fancy does you good.

Me: Are you contemplating healthy options - like salad and chicken breast?

Trev: Nah. No one wants that kind of muck. They want the Gut Buster for £3.50.

Me: Do you eat Gut Busters yourself?

Trev: Every day.

Me: Wouldn't you say your Body Mass Index is slightly higher than it should be?

Trev: Yeah. I'm well nourished. Women love it.

Me: Of course they do.  Well, that's it for today. Many thanks.

Trev: You're welcome William. Come round for a full Gut Buster for £3.50 any time. Best value in town.

Me: See you. Trev.

Trev: Yes, £3.50. No one knows how I do it. Debenhams hates me. Gut Buster, easy to remember.

Me: Let me help you through the door Trev. It's a bit narrow I'm afraid. If you breathe in and turn slightly sideways...
