The Prime Minister was served 24 different dishes during his first day at the summit - just hours after urging the world to reduce the “unnecessary demand” for food and calling on British families to cut back on their wasteful use of food.
Mr Brown and his wife Sarah were among 15 guests at the “blessings of the earth and the sea social dinner”.
The dinner consisted of 18 dishes in eight courses including caviar, smoked salmon, Kyoto beef and a “G8 fantasy dessert”.

African leaders including the heads of Ethiopia, Tanzania and Senegal who had taken part in talks during the day were not invited to the function.
The dinner came just hours after a “working lunch” consisting of six courses including white asparagus and truffle soup, crab and a supreme of chicken.
The lavish dining arrangements - disclosed by the Japanese Government which is hosting the summit in Hokkaido - come amid growing concern over rising food prices triggered by a shortage of many basic necessities.
On the flight to the summit, Mr Brown urged Britons to cut food waste as part of a global drive to help avert the food crisis.
Gordo, you can kiss my fat corn-fed, meat-eatin, food-over-induldging American ass. While you dine on your overpriced status-setting garbage this week, I’ll be setting here at my somewhat-comfy home stuffing my face with fat-filled, American-raised and grown food. If you don’t like that you can take your egotistical “do as I say, not as I do”, pompus, nanny-state-lovin’ attitude and cram it with one of my left-over corn cobs.
