A restaurant in London is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Nimrod Expedition, Ernest Shackleton’s first effort to reach the South Pole, with a 6000-calorie meal fit for an Antarctic explorer. Here’s what’s on the menu:

“In addition to featuring a 20oz version of Green Door’s famous Aberdeen Angus steak, the £75 meal will also include a Bovril toddy, as well as a modern twist on hoosh, a staple in the early days of polar exploration. Whilst in Shackleton’s time this comprised a mixture of penguin and cereal, Green Door has devised an altogether more appetising version, this time based on goose rather than penguin.”
