Food consumption competitions are one of the most fun sporting events in the countryside. And although nutritionists are strongly opposed to such dangerous experiments with the human body, the number of people involved in them is increasing every year.

There are many more types of hope competitions than you think. And the food that is consumed in some of them is more than strange. Here are the strangest disciplines:

World Championship in eating hot jalapeno peppers

The most popular jalapeno hot pepper competition is held in Texas. The record was set in 2006, when a former accountant managed to swallow as many as 247 peppers in just 8 minutes.

Hope with curry

An Indian food competition is held annually in Edinburgh, Scotland. Each of the participants is examined before the start of the competition and signs a declaration that the organizers are not responsible, because in the end most of the participants need medical help. Opposite is always the British Red Cross.

World Oyster Eating Championship

Every year in June in New Orleans, Louisiana, there is an oyster meal with a prize fund. The winner wins $ 1,000. The record is held by Pat Bertoletti, who in 2011 managed to swallow 468 oysters in 8 minutes.

Competition for eating testicles of animals

The competition is popular in US states such as Michigan, Montana and Illinois. Participants have 10 minutes to eat as many fried bull testicles as possible.

World Garlic Eating Championship

In the village of Chidok, Dorset, South West England, a competition is held every year to eat hot vegetables. 33 cloves in 60 seconds is the record set by David Greenman in 2014.

Hoping with duck embryos

The competition is held in New York. Participants should swallow as many fertilized eggs as possible in 5 minutes.

Donkey penis eating competition

This is probably the craziest race in the world. Held in Beijing, China. Each participant is given three buckets. The first is full of freshly fried donkey penises, the second - with sauce, and the third is empty.

Hoping with nettles

The interesting thing about this competition is that the participants eat raw nettles, which they plucked themselves. The competition is held in Dorset, England. The winner is the one who ate the most leaves with 155 cm twigs.

Hope with live cockroaches

The competition is held in many US states and even outside the United States. The record was set in 2001 when Ken Edwards swallowed 36 Malagasy cockroaches in 60 seconds. This is the only competition in which a participant has died after swallowing a dozen cockroaches - in 2012 in Florida.

Other bizarre hopefuls include crocodile eggs, fried mushrooms, banana and peanut butter sandwiches, sushi, mayonnaise, ice cream, crabs, pickles, plum dumplings, raw onions, fried asparagus and butter.
