Hall Hunt Czech trip repot

Hall Hunt has posted a blog entry about his trip to the Czech Republic to compete in eating contests at the Trnkobrani festival. He had difficulty extracting the plum pits from the plum dumplings, which he believed was required for counting purposes, but was actually unnecessary. Saturday’s contest was a pizza / pickles / ice cream triathlon. (If a pregnant woman competed, she might have won that event ;) )
