Eat Me.

Have you ever been in an eating contest?

I just read this article in one of the alt-weeklies from Seattle, the Stranger, and it was about a springroll eating contest.  Coincidentally, the article was written by, and the contest won by the guy who came to my going away to NZ party (1st time).  That epic-ness here. (and it never gets old.)

So, anyways, there is an international federation of competitive eating, and it's crazy.  Some of the categories:

• Deep fried asparagus
• Sweet corn
• Clams (I don't want to be anywhere NEAR the winner in the morning....I'm just sayin'....)
• Pork rinds
• Funnel cake
• Krystal burgers
• Grits
• Cannolis

And then there's some more.  But I think I could do really good with bean and cheese burritos, or Gail's happy cookies, or sauerkraut/kimchee.

Man, I'm getting hungry!
