Oyster Eating Contest

[SkinsFanLarry]

Knightdale Seafood and BBQ Resturant here where I live was having an "All-You-Can-Eat Raw Oyster Contest" tonight....what the heck I entered.

You had ten (10) minutes to eat as many raw oysters as you could....

1st Prize - Trophy, Plaque w/picture on the wall, $100.00 gift certificate and two tickets to see Toby Keith and Trace Adkins

2nd Prize - Trophy, Miller Light hat and t-shirt

3rd Prize - Trophy, Miller Lite hat and t-shirt

The 1st prize winner ate 219 raw oysters in 10 minutes, 2nd prize winner ate 168 raw oysters in 10 minutes and 3rd prize winner (Me) ate 161 raw oysters in ten minutes.

I thought I could average 20 a minute but was only able to pull off 16.1 a minute.

3rd prize was a damn nice feeling....don't think I'll ever do it again though!

Very nice!!! I hate raw oysters and would have thrown up after eating 5 so good job on your part

Love raw oysters but I'd rather take my time & slam some brews with it.

Man as much as I'd love to go see Trace I couldn't get a single one past my lips. Now clams on the halfshell, that's a whole different game.

I ate alot of oysters in Cuba but they do it slightly different. They pre-shell them and bring the to you in a jar or shot glass. A little tomato juice and tobascco and down they go. A normal sitting will be 20 to 30 per person

Not sure if that still holds true or not?

I'm use to eating silver dollar size oysters from Cheasapeake Bay, I asked the owner where these came from last night and he said they had them flown in from Texas....that explains why must of them were the size of "chicken breasts!"

 

[jmatkins]

Glad you at least got 3rd, I just don't think I could have put that many down.

Damn I love oysters! I like to slurp them or up on a saltine with a little coctail sauce! I wish they had that where I live...I would be all over that! :grin:

 

[hdroadglide]

That was one of the rules, no slurping off the shells....we had to use a fork or fingers....I was shoveling them in with both hands, the fork was way to slow!
