'Monster-size parfait' serves up challenge to big eaters

Thursday, 24 January 2008

BEPPU, Oita -- Queen Fruits Parfait, a huge, 2-kilogram dessert, has gone on sale at the Kijima Amusement Park here, with gluttons given the chance to eat it at no cost.

Anybody capable of eating their way through the monster-sized parfait alone will get the dish normally costing 3,800 yen a serving for free.

Gal Sone, a well-known competitive eater, is bound for the park next month to try and chomp her way through the dish, designed to serve six.

Since the Queen Fruits Parfait went on sale almost two weeks ago, nobody has yet been able to single-handedly eat their way through it, park officials said.

The Queen Fruits Parfait features three different types of ice cream, pancakes, cream puffs and a healthy serving of seasonal and frozen fruits.
