Begemotizm

Begemot = hippo in Russian. from Behemoth. Begemotizm = eating ridiculous amounts of food. Arrived in St Petersburg yesterday morning on the train in time for an extended four hour breakfast on the balcony of pancakes, potato pancakes, home-made banana milkshake, bread and cheese, apple pie, fried potatoes, some biscuits, a bit of cake, then a nap, up in time for lunch, then some afternoon tea, then a stroll down into town to meet an old friend for a snack, then a couple of beers, warming mulled wine, another good friend popped by, then I came home for some supper.
