NEW ORLEANS - A Virginia man wolfed down 40 dozen oysters in eight minutes Sunday to win the World Oyster Eating Championship at the New Orleans Oyster Festival, the Times-Picayune reported.

Darron Breeden of Orange, Virginia, topped a field of seven contestants who participated in the annual contest, which is held in a park between the French Quarter and the Mississippi River.

I think I will take this opportunity to post some pictures of competitive eater Nela Zisser .

She ain't no vegetarian either.

Re Post 10:

I was a contestant in a Guiness World record boiled shrimp eating contest in Houston in the 1970’s. The Guiness record then was 5 pounds, but I don’t remember the time limit. I ate 4 pounds and 15 ounces, but I unknowingly slowed myself down while doing it because I was drinking beer and eating hush puppies at the same time.

Wow! You were a contender! Did you ever decide to train up for a second attempt?

There’s that Japanese woman, Kinoshita, too.

You know Boudreaux tole Thibideaux that he thought he got some bad oysters last night.

Yeah, he hears oysters were an aphrodesiac, so he ordered 2 dozen and only half of them worked.

She’s petite.

Quit abusing the news forum.

She's not a cheap date I imagine.

She can eat six burritos in 12 minutes, 22 Big Macs in less than an hour and a fried breakfast including 20 large eggs, a kilogram of bacon, six sausages, four muffins, mushrooms and tomato chutney, in 42 minutes.

Totally worth it for one date.

I thought one was never to eat oysters unless the month had an R in it?

Honey, lets go Dutch tonight.

LOL, I seriously don’t understand where it all goes.

I love it!

I find these eating contests gross.

I really like oysters. Raw, on the half-shell.

The only reason I don't eat more is because they are so expensive. Also, I would never eat 40 dozen in one sitting. Two dozen are about enough for me. But I savor them. Might take me a full hour to eat two dozen oysters. Washed down with a nice Belgium ale.
