Chilifest Finland

[Mikko]

Hey everybody, in Finland we have this thing called Reilu Meininki, that's why we even have a chilli-festival! Held in a place that some people even consider a town - Tampere!

Yesterday there was a chili eating competition, just some mixed chillies. Some guy from the US. finished fift! Wow!

There's also a facebook-page about it; http://fi-fi.facebook.com/pages/Chilifest-Finland/177429998973928

But today there's the Naga Morich eating competition, last year Ari Hirvonen (from Finland of course...) ate 82,02g wich was considered the world record!

Check out the official pages, they are in finnish, but maybe people can use Google translator?
