A technique used to assist competition speed-eaters to consume large quantities of
food in very a short space of time.
Mostly found where bread products are used eg. Burgers, Hot-Dogs and consists of the competitor dipping the said
food item briefly into a cup of
water (must be present for health and safety reasons) before swallowing either without chewing or very little.
This moistens the bread and avoids "dry-congealing" of the bread in the throat.
