Strange News from the Food Front (11/26/07)
A weekly round-up of food and drink oddities:
- Eating For The Hungry A competitive eater tucked away a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 to highlight the plight of the hungry. No wonder they were hungry - he didn't leave anything. (AP)
- Organized Professional Eating In the last story, the human vacuum was mentioned as a Major League Eater. Turns out there is an International Federation of Competitive Eating. I'd hate to take a turn buying refreshments for a gathering there. (ifoce.com)
- Doughnut Vows A Massachusetts couple tied the knot at a doughnut shop where they originally met. Thankfully, their rings appear to be made of something inedible. (AP)
- Sibling Roastery A brother and sister apparently try to outdo each other every year in the size of turkey they roast on Thanksgiving. The man won this year with a 72-pound bird. (AP)
