The whole of food has always been bizarre. This is one thing that has seen the best of innovations and the largest amount of variety. Every locality you visit, or any corner you turn, will present you with a new dish of a new cuisine. However, there are people who can take even food to the next level and challenge you to finish the dish. These food challenges exist around the world and, at times, there is actual prize money involved.
So, if you are sure of your appetite and want to take on the world of food, head to these competitions and show your wild foodie side. Remember, these are not for the faint hearted!
