Cayman Island conch fritter results
CaymanNetNews.com reports on a conch fritter eating contest held during “Conchquest 07”, a celebration of conch in the Cayman Islands:
The first-ever Cayman Islands conch fritter eating contest was held on Saturday 3, November.
Deal Ebanks, 48, from West Bay chewed up seven other strong competitors by devouring 43 conch fritters in six minutes, clearly threatening the world record of 45 held by Joe Menchetti.
The contest, sponsored by Cayman’s favourite rock station 96.5 CayRock and Lipton PureLeaf Tea, was held at Macabuca at the Cracked Conch before over 200 spectators with eight entrants competing for a CI$1,000 cash prize.

Joe, I think you need to get over there next year and raise the record to an even 100.

I emailed the guy, he didn’t get back to me.
If i’m viewing the picture correctly, the size of the ones they ate in Grand Cayman were between a marble & a golf ball. The ones Ed Krachie, Joe LaRue & I ate were between golfballs & baseballs.
How much is CI$1,000.?
