Voiced by Michael Knowles and Ballard Berkeley in the 1989 film and portrayed by Chris Shields and Matt Frewer in the 2016 film. While I was happy with the topic, I was not happy with the writing, as the post was written in a rush at the last minute. He crunches up two humans for dinner every night and especially enjoys eating people from Turkey, making him the picky eater of the bunch, although he will go to other countries such as joining the other eight in a trip to England.

After a while the comic started following its own storylines and continued long after Dahl's death in 1990.The BFG has won numerous awards including the 1985 Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis as the year's best children's book, in its German translation Sophiechen und der Riese [16] and the 1991 Read Alone and Read Aloud BILBY Awards from the Children's Book Council of Australia. Roald Dahl had a long partnership with artist Quentin Blake who illustrated almost all of his children’s books. The only other such longstanding partnership I can think of in English children’s literature is with author Jacqueline Wilson and Nick Sharratt.

The decision was met with sharp criticism from groups and public figures including authors Salman Rushdie [9] [10] [11] and Christopher Paolini, [11] British prime minister Rishi Sunak, [9] [10] Queen Camilla, [9] [12] Kemi Badenoch, [13] PEN America, [9] and Brian Cox. The BFG explains, in a unique and messy speech, that his nine neighbours are much bigger and stronger giants, who all happily eat humans every night.He is best friends with the Meatdripper in the story and also by the name, suggests he enjoys the taste of children most of all. Tourists come in huge numbers to watch the giants in the pit, who are only fed snozzcumbers; they receive an unexpected welcome snack when three drunks manage to climb the safety fence one night and fall in. Sophie, squinting through the glare of the sun, saw several tremendous tall figures moving among the rocks about five hundred yards away. The BFG is a story about a girl, Sophie, who the BFG — Big Friendly Giant — steals out of her bed at the orphanage. While having the nightmare, he is yelling about the "spikesticking beanstalk" that Jack is using and Fleshlumpeater is squirming all over the ground like a "colossal tortured snake.

Having collected the BFG's dream collection, the helicopters carry the giants back to England, where they are imprisoned in a massive pit. This is small for a giant – the others are described as being 50 feet tall – and this could have sculpted his aesthetic sense. According to the BFG, the flavours of the humans that the man-eating giants dine on depends on their country of origin: Turks taste like turkey, Greeks are too greasy (and hence apparently no giant ever visits that country), people from Panama taste like hats, the Welsh taste like fish, people from Jersey taste like cardigans, and the Danes taste like dogs. His black tongue is disgusting, looking like a slab of steak, and he finds power in intimidating the BFG. He then gives the Queen a nightmare that closely parallels actual events; because the BFG setting Sophie in her bedroom was part of the dream, the Queen believes her and speaks with the giant over breakfast.

An animated adaptation was released in 1989 with David Jason providing the voice of the BFG and Amanda Root as the voice of Sophie. In his sleep, while Fleshlumpeater dreams of escaping the terrible Jack, he smacks a giant and kicks another. Sophie takes off a brooch, or fancy pin that the Queen gave her, and sticks the pin into the giant's ankle as hard as she can. Being the leader of the giants, Fleshlumpeater is also the one giant who poses a problem in the plan that the BFG and Sophie devise to capture them.
