Ever get to the Sunday and can't eat?

??.

In the past yes I’ve struggled with sustenance on the Sunday, mainly because my mouth feels like I’ve chewed on a brick. But with age comes wisdom (or so they say) and I’m a one meal a day person now.

Quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever read on these pages. Even more than the one about the guy in the Cookie Monster outfit with a Casio keyboard.

No, I have never gotten to the Sunday and not been able to eat.

Nothing is funnier than cookie monster with a Casio keyboard.

Indeed. If by lightweight you mean someone gets to Sunday and whines about not facing food instead of squaring their shoulders, chinning a cider and getting some scran down them

[CaledonianGonzo]

Cookie Monster plainly had some sustenance in him. He was just down the hill from Strumpets with Crumpets.

I regret not seeing him with my own eyes more than I regret seeing Bloc Party instead of Neil Young, or Muse instead of Pet Shop Boys.

Maybe I was already sorting myself into the lightweights bracket.

That said, the Sunday cider-chinning can generally be taken as read. At least until the lockjaw kicks in.

haha the monday morning after makes me feel like I belong in an asylum. 

Yeah I regularly can't eat after a few days of partying festival style. Instead you wake up and have a Tinny for breakfast. 

Just the sight of solid food makes me feel a little weird.

How on Earth are people alive after not eating from Wednesday to Sunday?

I like to think of it as a bear loosing its fat after hibernation.

It's my penance, my cross to bear.

I always visualise russycarps (may God rest his soul) off watching The Doves whilst Neil Young was deploying the full fireworks on the Pymild. And that's a bad enough self-own.

I can normally force myself to eat. I generally only have 1 meal a day, but I can normally force it down. 

Along with a few ice creams throughout. Other than that I dont really eat.

 

[stuie]

Complan meal shakes and protein bars (not all types) will get you through 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Eating on Thursday or Friday is no big achievement. This is specifically about watching bands on the Sunday with an empty tum tum and feeling like you're having an out of body experience.

Story on the "seen at glasto" thread a couple of years back. If I remember correctly, a dude in a full body cookie monster outfit, minus the head, sat on the floor with a mini casio keyboard. Someone offered him a cookie (natch) and his response was to look very confused, then say "do you know this one?" before repeatedly pressing a single key over and over and over.

One of my all time favourite stories

No that never happens to me. The food at the festival is almost as important as the music but I do the festival sober.  

Although I’m not sober. I look forward to the food at the festival as much as I do the music. ❤️

My problem is that there's far too much choice at Glastonbury, so I sort of decide that I want food from Stall A, change my mind, and really crave Stall B, and then it's 2 in the morning and my wife is calling me an idiot for not eating again as I struggle to walk straight, as I still manage to keep drinking.

As for the not wanting to eat. Buckfast. It helps bring back the hunger.

I'm awful for that. I walk past delicious stall after delicious stall because I can't make up my mind. Then I eat some shit noodles.

I stop at all of them. I come home fat and poor.

every day's the same..

berocca & dioralyte. then a FUCKING MASSIVE breakfast with multiple brews, once the sun's over the yard arm it's booze time inter-spliced with whatever delights are on offer.

you're obviously not walking/seeing/experiencing enough to offset the need for festival carbs. ?? unless you're fueling yourself some other way?

+1 for all the ice cream suggestions. I couldn’t face any hot salty food most of the fest but the last day an ice cream sandwich in the park sorted me right out. The idea was a battle but the pay off was well worth it.
