    Ozzy Osbourne could eat burritos at rapid speed

    The Grammy-winning music producer Andrew Watt has recalled how the late Black Sabbath rocker, who passed away at the age of 76 in July, was able to devour one of the Mexican snacks in "about 30 seconds".


    Watt - who has produced records for the likes of Sir Elton John, Lady Gaga and the Rolling Stones - told People: "He famously loved burritos.

    "He would take the burrito, he'd bite it once on the left, once on the right, and then once he could get his mouth around (it), the burrito was gone.

    "The guy could f****** eat a full burrito in about 30 seconds."

    Andrew - who worked closely with Ozzy on his final two albums Ordinary Man and Patient Number 9 - also remembers an occasion when the late star asked him to order "chicken pancakes" when he was getting Mexican food.

    The 35-year-old record producer recalled: "I was like, 'Oh, the chicken quesadillas.' He loved these chicken quesadillas so much that he called them 'chicken pancakes'."

    Watt used to order burritos for Ozzy from his favourite Mexican eatery Escuela Taqueria in Los Angeles even when he was travelling "all over the world".

    He said: "I (would) Postmates him Mexican food once a week from all over the world, anytime he wanted it, because just getting someone in his house to Postmates (it) for him the way he liked it with the way I ordered it, was just a whole thing."

    Ozzy passed away a little over two weeks after Black Sabbath's epic Back to the Beginning farewell concert in Birmingham and credits his devoted wife Sharon Osbourne for keeping alive for so long.

    The Paranoid rocker said in the documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now: "If it wasn't for Sharon Osbourne, I wouldn't be here now. I would definitely not have the success I have. I wouldn't be sober. I'd be six foot under without a shadow of a doubt.

    "Because I didn't drink any less or do any more drugs than any of them, but all the guys I used to do it with, they're all dead, so there must be something I did right in the world. The one thing I did was have my Sharon."
