22 competitors wrestled in 396 gallons of gravy on Monday to claim a zesty prize.
Stacksteads, Lancashire, a village in North Western England, holds a unique match each year. The town hosts a gravy wrestling competition, which is exactly what it sounds like. Competitors take stock of their opponents and are left to stew in the sludge for two minutes, attempting to get in the best moves. The meaty competitor who gets the loudest beefs from the audience is the winner of the event.
The event doesn’t appear to have any monetary prize, but the title of world gravy wrestling champion probably holds more than enough esteem. Additionally, competitors are encouraged to come up with creative costumes, donning everything from a chicken, to a pregnant nun.
It’s an event spectators can really sink their teeth into:
