There's a nettle eating championship in Dorset England.

There was apparently a new record set this year.

Ms Hodges, who travelled from Wales, said she was surprised and happy to have won again, although her hands were still painful. "My voice is also an octave or two deeper and I'm a bit huskier," she said. "I did really sting the inside of my mouth and your tongue goes a really funny colour but I was concentrating more on the pain in my hands, so I probably forgot about my mouth. "The dryness is the tricky thing, and chewing them. I think it depends what the weather has been doing - this year they have been a bit hard to chew."
