Fiery Foods Festival –
Attempting to break a World Record
Fiery Foods Festival 2012 (FFUK) will be breaking
records and turning heads with a challenge not for the faint hearted. FFUK will
attempt to break the world record for the most jalapeno chilli peppers eaten in
one minute on Friday 14th September.
The Fiery Foods festival returns for its 5th
year from the 14th- 16th September 2012 at Victoria
Gardens, Brighton and is expected to be even bigger and better. Together with
the infamous and obligatory chilli eating contest, the festival will have more
exhibitors, live music, cookery demonstrations and competitions.
Current record holder Alfredo Hernandes from the
USA ate 16 Jalapenos in 1 minute back in 2006 at the La Costeña ‘Feel the Heat
Challenge’ in Chicago. The record has not been beaten since.
After a discussion on the FFUK twitter
(@FieryFoodsUK) about the current world record, Chris ‘The Lurch’ Saunders put
himself forward to attempt the record live on stage with the help of celebrity compare
Matt Whistler.
Chris is quoted in saying: “Having taken part in a couple of extreme chilli eating challenges, I'm
hoping that will leave me in good stead for this attempt”.
“Although I think the heat of the chillies is not
going to be the main problem, it's the speed at which I will have to eat each
jalapeño and swallow before moving on to the next. Only time will tell if I can
do it but I will do my best to bring the record back to the UK”.
Your challenge (if you choose to accept it) will be
to eat as much of these hot treats in 10 minutes. You will be joined by special
guests Ted ‘The fire Breathing Dragon Idiot’ from Washington, USA and Tony
‘Darth Naga’ Ainsworth - reviewer from popular website ‘The Chilli Foundry’.
Come down to the Fiery Foods Festival this year on
Friday 14th September at Victoria Gardens, Brighton to watch history
in the making.
