I went for a few drinks yesterday and managed to commit myself to a spaghetti eating contest in a couple of weeks' time. Me against another bloke, the winner is the guy who can eat the most spaghetti in an hour. It will be served with a simple tomato and basil sauce, to be cooked by a third party who will also be the judge. The loser has to buy the winner a bottle of whisky: 18-year-old single malt at a minimum.

1. Does anyone have any tips?
2. How much spaghetti do you think an extremely hungry person could eat in 60 minutes? I guess it's somewhere between 500g and a kilo.

Well, you may not be cut out for a spaghetti eating contest, Facts! I'm sure I can put away at least 500g if it's an actual competition.

What can you use to eat it with?? Knife, fork, spoon?? Use a K and F to cut it up quickly and a spoon to get it down.. eat til you fell sick and then have some more. Tactical chunder in the toilet and then keep going.. GL

No chundering allowed.

I don't think that speed will be a huge factor as an hour is a pretty long time. Was going to use fork and spoon.

I think I'll speed eat 125g of spaghetti at some point over the next few days, just to get an idea of how much I can put away per minute. I'd have thought that five minutes is the longest 125g could take, which would mean 1.5kg over the full hour.

Don't think I can eat 1.5kg of spaghetti, tbh.
