Chocolate-coated marzipan bars with mayonnaise, cat food washed down with buttermilk and blended take away. Just some of items that could be on the menu at the TÅGEKAMMERET bodycrashing competition. Brave volunteers wearing protective coveralls double as bucket holders when (rather than if) the strange menu items come up again. Not for the faint-hearted.
