The Rules

How much raw garlic can you eat in five minutes?

The garlic will be presented in small bowls with 10 peeled cloves in each bowl.
The South West Garlic Farm will supply all the garlic to be eaten; no outside garlic will be permitted.
Contestants must chew and swallow each garlic clove before starting to eat the next one; judges will be on hand to monitor this.
Spitting anything out is an automatic disqualification.
Leaving the table during the contest for any reason is an automatic disqualification.
When five minutes is up an announcement will be made to stop eating.
Any clove of garlic being chewed when time is up will count towards the overall garlic clove total. Contestants will have 30 seconds to finish chewing and swallow the last clove.
The winner will be determined by whoever has finished the most garlic cloves within the allotted time.
The judges will determine the winner of the contest and the judges decision is final.
In the event of a draw there will be a 1 minute garlic "eat off" to determine the final winner. The same rules will apply.
Drinking is allowed during the contest.

The Winner of The World Garlic Eating Competition will receive a Trophy and £100
