Pie eaters

My old radio in my old car burst into life today...and on my way home I listened to Five Live just as they were reporting from Wigan on todays World Pie Eating Championships.
There was an interview with the winner.... it was brilliant.
He was asked what was his winning technique? He answered "I take small bites, chew quickly then swallow"
The pies were of course meat and potato. There was a ban on "outside gravy".
