A Frenchman won an international fast food competition for duck lovers on Tuesday, devouring 930 grams of meat in just 5 minutes.
"There is no preparation at home! It's perfectly normal, I come as a tourist and participate in the competition," says 60-year-old Bernard Lasba, after winning his 11th title in this competition.
This unusual "world championship", organised for the first time in 1982 and currently involving 13 competitors, is held every year in the commune of Saramont in south-western France, with the exception of the last two years when it was not held due to restrictions against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Contestants are offered a kilo of grilled duck breast, which they must eat within five minutes - with plastic cutlery, for a greater degree of difficulty. However, the degree of difficulty today was greater due to the heat, as the mercury exceeded 30 degrees Celsius.
Bernard Lasba shared the trophy with the oldest contestant, a 97-year-old who managed to eat 350 grams in five minutes.
