Folklore: I'm so hungry I could ...

It occurred to me the other day that I've heard loads of expressions used by various people to describe the fact that they're ready to put the nosebag on ...

Such as

I'm so hungry I could eat a baby's arse through its nappy.

I'm so hungry I could eat a cow between two breadvans.

I'm so hungry I could eat a scabby donkey.

An upping of the stakes on the above. I'm so hungry I could eat a scabby donkey with AIDS.

And my personal favourite. I'm so hungry I could eat a nun's arse through the convent gates.

Anybody got any others they'd like to share?

I'm so hungry I could eat:

A road killed skunk

Tofu and enjoy it.

Beets.

At my Mother-in-law's

A variation on the theme:

I'm so hungry my stomach thinks my throats cut.

There are many good choices

...the north end of a polecat* going south.

I heard these phrases many a time from my maternal grandfather, who was born in 1910 and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

*"polecat" = "skunk" (not the European polecat)

The bloke I married when I was young and silly (and from whom I have been divorced for a very, very long time) came from a country town 100 miles north of the town where I lived, and he used expressions from his area that were completely foreign to my town.

The one a few posts back about 'a child's arse through a tennis racquet' is one I heard slightly differently, regarding someone with buck teeth: that they could eat an apple through a tennis racquet.
