Here are the best connections to competitive eating for the 2010 World Cup finalists I could find: Buñol in the Valencia region of Spain holds a festival called La Tomatina in which 4500 tons of tomatoes are destroyed in a food fight. (This amount is probably an order of magnitude higher than all the food consumed in all IFOCE contests combined.) Lynda Kuerth and Sharon Scholten from Dutch west Michigan are two of the notable female competitive eaters of the 20th century.
