Any Dopers in the vicinity should call up and have a Guinness and some seafood in my wee home village.
It is an international event, with representitives from China, Japan, Russia and Argentina (amongst others) taking part last year in the Oyster Eating Championships.
You have to eat three raw oysters and down a pint of Guinness in each round (winner stays in) until the final showdown when a champion emerges.
The winning time is generally around 10-11 seconds for those who fancy entering and feel they could do better. But stamina is the key to success as there are generally 6 rounds between the beginning and the final.
Other than the competition it is a great night out (I’ll be there all week), with lots of live music and singing / dancing.
