'Black Widow' sets world record by gobbling down 5lb turkey in 10mins

She is known as the 'Black Widow' after her ability to regularly defeat men who are four to five times her size.

And now Korean-born Sonya Thomas broke another record by gobbling down 5-pound turkey in just 10 minutes to become world's finest turkey-eating champion.

The 44-year-old woman, who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 105 pounds, claimed the record as part of the Wild Turkey 81 Eating World Championship, held in Times Square, New York on Nov 22.

Thomas's victory was made more remarkable as she crushed her nearest rivals, who were all men by more than a pound of meat.

Her feat saw her collect a cash prize of 1,581 dollars and adding another title to her collection of world records.

"I left only bone. I'm so happy," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling the New York Daily News.I'm not normally a fan of turkey... but their turkey today was very tasty, moist and warm. That's why I ate most of the meat," she added.

Thomas, who works as a restaurant manager, used a less frenzied technique to eat the bird during the contest.

As no cutlery were used by the competitors, Thomas stripped handfuls of meat from the bird and placed the pieces in her mouth while drinking water in between.
