In a discussion by some of the local Euless Polynesian community, most said they wanted to see what happens when teams of hungry Samoans and Tongans get their hands in an eating competition.
First questions were "Where are they, how do we create an eating competition"? Another was, "Where would a good place be to hold an eating competition"? All agreed in discussion that it needs to happen sooner or later. It would be possibly an event for mature viewers only, considering what happens when a Samoan gets down to hungry moments!!
Holding an event like this seems best at a Local Fair or community gathering so that consumers and businesses can take a look see. One thing to do would be to get funding support for the event by allowing businesses to put they're names on a large sign, usually posted right above and around the contest.
If someone in the community is to host an eating competition like the one discussed, they'll need a panel of judges, and a prize, [doesn't have to be a great prize if the event is really fun, usually eating great food is considered in part a reward] and there can be a small charge but fair entry fee for food costs. Something fair cost like Hot Dogs, Chicken wings, or Pies, maybe best for the food competition. Rules would have to be setup, including rules involving small things like disqualification if you can not hold the food down. Making sure a contestant signs that he or she takes responsibility for their health might have to be looked into. A good idea would be to get all food ready the day before so to be fresh fresh fresh........and then they could host away!
The following year or event people can try new ideas, new foods, new prizes, more room for contestants, and maybe have some other forms of entertainment to make a longer event. One thing is for sure, if there is an event like it soon, it will surely be posted in The Manaia Blog-writer event section.
