Food Challenges

Recommended Posts

Well, me and a few rugby mates are looking to sink food challenges for the UK boys instead of all of this man vs food rubbish so if you know some recent and still valid challenges we will be up for them definately :)

 

Next Thursday is our first 42 oz Rump steak challenge and we will post pictures of before and after also :)

It's been going for years though, I'm sure the percentage of winners is tiny. Still, I'm not mental enough to try it :laugh:

 

Aye. I was going to try it when I was there for a night out a few years ago but pussied out when we got to the restaurant. There was a guy eating it while I was there though, and he looked like he was in agony. Poor bastard was on his stag night as well.

Ribshakk in Leeds has the Wall of Flames challenge:

A rack of baby back ribs slathered with an absurdly hot chilli coating that tastes of salt and pain. Somewhere around the 800,000 to 1,000,000 scoville range. There are hotter challenges, but what compounds this one is the amount of it you have to eat and the fact that it's so messy and you have to eat it with your hands so it gets everywhere and burns everywhere.

 

Quite a few people have done it now (including my friend Sally who is on the wall there) but it's pretty nasty. We were supposed to be going out for drinks afterwards but she had to be taken home because she turned an unsettling shade of pink and could not stop the involuntary shaking. Wolfing it down in five minutes and then dealing with the sweats/shakes and trying to keep it down afterwards seems like the best strategy. I don't know how people did it over the course of 20 minutes; I'd have thought trying to pace yourself with a spice challenge would make it much worse. The invigilator for the challenge stands next to you with a big glass of milk the whole time, but you're not allowed to drink it until five minutes after you've finished, which is nice and sadistic of them.

 

Carpe Diem also does these: http://www.carpediemleeds.co.uk/food-challenges/

 

With those ones it's mostly the time limits. They're achievable amounts, but it's getting the pacing wrong that tends to defeat people.

Did they just find James Wood sat in the door way in the early hours and just felt sorry for him?

 

He's got that bemused and slightly feral look you get on mental's shuffling around the town centre talking about aliens or Jesus.
