For each country a different food culture! In Scotland the culinary competition is about porridge (oatmeal soup in substance). So, every year there is a championship where chefs from around the world take port in a very pretty setting that only Scotland can offer.
But what intrigued me is that in 2012 one of the members of the jury was only 16 years old. Then I tried to understand more.
Bronwyn Taylor is British Powerlifting Champion, a kind of weight lifting (but experts will explain the sport better than me, here’s a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerlifting) she has broken 3 British records, in the his category of “under 18” , when se was not even 16 years old.

Her diet is absolutely based on Porridge and it is for this reason that, in the guise of sport champion, was invited as a perfect judge at this important competition where she joined two internationally renowned chefs.
Porridge is usually her breakfast, she says, but also an evening snack. A perfect member of the jury being an athlete who makes his diet a point of leverage to achieve her goals objectives.

We look forward to finding out what other goals to reach Bronwyn.
