Upcoming Spain eating contests
Spain eating challenges
The Blues Kitchen in London England will hold a hot dog eating contest tomorrow and Gastrodyne reports that a hot dog eating contest will be held in Erandio, Spain on August 5 (a video of the 2010 contest).
Gastroboy has emailed a link to a video of a hot dog eating contest on the Spanish television program Sé lo que hicisteis. The contest was inspired by Joey Chestnut's appearance on Are you smarter than a fifth grader?, which appears at the start of the clip.
Spanish food fight to waste 165 tons of tomatoes
The German magazine Der Spiegel has an English article and gallery about La Tomatina, a annual tomato fight that will be held in Buñol, Spain tomorrow. During the event, 150,000 kg (330,000 lb.) of tomatoes are ruined. Despite wasting orders of magnitude more food than any American eating contest, the event does not seem to have drawn the same amount of criticism that competitive eating does.
