The first ever World Blaa Eating Champion was crowned in Waterford today
LAST WEEK WE told you that the Waterford Harvest Festival would be hosting the world’s inaugural Blaa Eating Championships.
Because hey, why not?
Yesterday the festival hosted the first heats of the competition.
Would-be blaa-eating champions were instructed to eat five buttered blaas as quickly as possible with the three fastest blaa eaters progressing through to the final this afternoon.
Several people participated in the heats yesterday.
And it got fierce competitive.
The three winners of yesterday’s heats were Mariusz Zdrojowy, Martin Godfrey and Amelia Scannell.
And the trio took to the stage this afternoon to eat more blaas in a bid to be crowned World Blaa Eating Champion.
Look at the concentration in their eyes!
But in the end there could only be one winner…
Behold your new World Blaa Eating Champion, Amelia Scannell!
Amelia received €150 and this crystal blaa engraved with the words “World Blaa Eating Champion”.
Only in Waterford.
