I entered a pie eating contest, and I don't know what to do! This is my first contest ever and I like to savor my food. Do you have ANY tips about helping me win???
Take your time, remember, "Slow and steady wins the race". I suggest bringing a napkin to tuck into your shirt as well as a fork and knife to eat it with properly.
Well if there are no rules around using your hands, I'd totally ditch the fork and knife and grab it with your hands! Save savoring for another day and just eat without enjoying (unless of course you have no intention to try and win...then just do whatever you want)! If it is just one small pie or one piece I'd just stuff it as fast as possible. If it is monstrous, start to pace yourself. Your brain begins to realize your body is full about 20 minutes after you truly are full, but hopefully you will be done before that!
