UK meat pie eating contest bows to political correctness
The Manchester Evening news reports that the “World Pie Eating Championship”, held at Harry’s Bar in Wallgate has altered its rules to appease the health lobby. The contest format was originally an eat all you can in 3 minutes, but now the winner will be the eater who can eat a single meat pie in the fastest amount of time. A vegetarian pie eating contest was also added.
This is a different contest from the IFOCE endorsed mince pie eating contest that will be held a week from now.

The one pie contest is not the IFOCE event in which Sonya will compete.

The sad part is that a Vegetarian Society would waste its time pressuring a private event at a local bar (if it’s true). If they’ve been doing this for almost 15 years, why are the fun-police only getting upset about it now?
