Again, English people have a thing for random food festivals. This time, however, they aren’t chasing food but, instead, throwing it. At the Egg Throwing World Championships, people remember the fact that, in the 1300s, a flood kept parishioners from coming to the town church. Since the monks were in the custom of giving out eggs to church goers, they threw the eggs at them over the flooded river. (We’re telling you, English people will grab onto anything to throw a party.)
The championships consist of different egg-related events, including egg throwing at long distances, an egg relay and a Russian egg roulette. For the latter, contestants choose eggs and crack them over their head, hoping they are hard boiled rather than raw.
