There was a messy affair in MacGochans
tonight when Ron Cowan organised the annual Tunnock’s Teacake eating competition.
Teams of two have to see how many Teacakes they can eat in 4 minutes.
Think that’s easy-peasy? Well it ain’t. There are two
members in each team, one unwraps and hands the naked teacakes to the eater while
the crowd and ‘friends’ encourages, insults and issues threats from the
sidelines.
The winners this year were Richard Crozier, some-time
co-driver, and first time Tunnock’s Teacake eating contestant with his
Unwrapper, Neil Anderson, representing Scotland. Richard managed to scoff 17 of
the rascals without even the threat of a boak!
Yorkshire’s finest finished second, brothers Tom and Sam
Spence demolishing 16 while another sibling team from Inverness, Rory and Callum
Cruden got to number 12 before proclaiming: “Never before, and never again.”
Sons of sometime rally driver Ian Cruden, one could be
forgiven for thinking that the ol' man put them up to this - as a way of getting out of
buying them their dinner tonight! Old hie’lan’ habits die hard.
