THE United States' top speed-eater has wolfed down 38 lobsters in 12 minutes to win the World Lobster Eating Contest.
Sonya Thomas, of Alexandria, Virginia, won $US500 ($690) and a trophy belt for her efforts, consuming 4.39 kg of lobster meat.
Each contestant had a partner cracking the shells and pulling out the meat.
Eleven competitors ate as many lobsters as they could in a 12-minute period, devouring a total of 135 kg.
"I have a natural ability because of my stomach capacity," said Thomas, who weighs a mere 47.25 kg.
"I could eat more, but something else - not a lobster."
Thomas was coming off a baked bean victory days before in Indiana. She also holds records for hard-boiled eggs.
