That sobaos pasiegos are addictive is not disputed by anyone. Once you start, it is difficult to eat just one. But how many would you be able to eat in one slice? On July 26 was held the II World Championship of Eaters, organized by the bakery Escojo Artesanos and held in the Cantabrian town of Ambrosero. In this second edition, 30 people from all over the country participated, willing to beat the record of eating sobaos of last year’s winner, who managed to eat 10 sweets.
This year this mark has been surpassed, thanks to the Murcian youtuber Valentín Carrasco Ferrer, known as @valferrer, who shares his extreme food challenges on social networks. On this occasion, Valentín managed to eat 16 sobaos pasiegos in just 8 minutes. In total, more than two and a half kilos of this Cantabrian delicacy, almost nothing! Just after the victory, the champion told EFE that it is a challenge “very ‘jarto’, because it is denser and you have to squeeze more”.
Valentín has already starred in other eye-catching challenges such as eating wafers with horchata, hamburgers and giant sandwiches weighing up to 6 kilos, among other barbarities.
Would you be able to eat more sobaos than Valentin and beat his record?
