Quote of the Day
NEVER EAT MORE THAN YOU CAN LIFT" - MISS PIGGY
Humans are born competitors. If there is a way to make something a competition, we will do it. A recent article in the newspaper tells a tale we should be embarrassed to tell. “Competitive Eating Rising in Popularity in the U.S.” Here I find I can special order a 200 oz steak with all the fixings from The Kestral Inn in England. If I can finish the 2 feet wide, 4 inch thick hunk of meat, it’s free. Competitors say it gives them a high and makes them feel good about themselves. One fellow says he can’t figure skate, but he can eat hot dogs.
An internet search tells me competitive eating has a major following. Even Fox Sports and Spike TV have signed onto to televise these events. Interesting. But nothing new. Competitive eating events have been around forever. We have all heard of the famous pie eating contests.
My ex husband was the type of guy that when we went to an all you can eat buffet, they would have locked the door if they knew he was coming. He could eat. When we were dating, he finished off the Mighty Mountaineer. This ice cream treat was served in a huge carved glass goblet filled and filled with mounds and mounds of all flavors of ice cream, syrups, fruit, nuts and whipped cream and topped, of course, with a cherry. If you finished it, you could keep the dish. We got to keep the dish. Don’t get the idea my ex was big. He was thin as a rail, but he could pack it away.
My opinion is summed up with, uh, well it’s just gross. Miss Piggy says, “Never eat more than you can lift.” That’s good advice.
