When I read this article on The Daily Meal I had to stop and think: had I ever been to a food sporting event? Not really. I have never been to a competitive hot dog eating contest and anything involving pumpkin rolling. The closest I’ve come to a competitive food event is a pie contest or a pie in the face booth at a fair. I got such a laugh out of these interesting events I thought you would like to see them. They are no joke, these are actual events that take place around the world every year. Which event would you like to attend first?
