Event Two-Nettle Eating

June 20th, 2008

How do you eat a stinging nettle? Very carefully.

Our Olympians will be throwing caution to the wind this weekend as we head to the pastoral acclimes of Dorset for their annual Nettle Eating Competition. The history of Nettle Eating goes back to poor people who had nothing to eat so that ate this horrendous plant. Not sure if this is true actually but it would make sense to me. This event will prove to be one of tenacity. Our athletes will really have to numb their tongues and buckle in for what could prove to be one of the more dangerous events in the competition.

Who will win? The person who can eat the most nettles. Plan & simple
