My grandmother used to make a wonderful angel food cake. From what I’ve heard, they’re not easy to make, but she sure could

They need stricter Lamington Control.

Put an end to Lamington shows.

Consider doing a government Lamington buy back campaign.

My first thought too. In an epileptic seizure though they can swallow their tongue which completely blocks the airway. That has to be fished out pronto or else an emergency tracheotomy with some kind of blade. I don’t know whether a massive bear hug/Heimlich squeeze would blow the tongue back out. You’ve only got a couple of minutes.

I’m getting the impression she didn’t win the contest...”

Article 4 - Subsection 3.5 - Paragraph 22 of the guidebook for the International Association of Eating Contests clearly indicates that if you die or become incapacitated during the contest, you are credited with how much Lamington cake you did consume before expiring or involuntarily dropping out of the competition.

Article 4 - Subsection 3.5 - Paragraphs 23-27 explain the judges guidelines for stopping a competition in the event of contestant death or incapacitation.

Article 4 - Subsection 3.5 - Paragraph 27(b) indicates if the competition is not halted, the deceased or incapacitated contestant would be the winner only if their total food consumption is greater than that of any living or non-incapacitated contestant.

So in short, it’s possible she did win.

So yeah, there’s always a chance she did win.

What is the purpose of an eating competition? Seems stupid.

“It would be interesting to see her collect the prize if she won...”

Article 5 - Subsection 11.2 - Paragraphs 18-21 deal with prize distribution.

Article 5 - Subsection 27 - Paragraphs 3-9 deal with mediation of disputes over prize distribution.
