“Eat my hat” is an idiom. It doesn’t mean we are really eating our hats. We say that when we don't believe something will happen. It shows our confidence in a particular outcome.

Examples:

1. He is always late. If he arrives on time today, I will eat my hat.

2. They are such a strong team. I will eat my hat if we can beat them.

3. I'm sure about this. If I am wrong, I will eat my hat.
