Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you’ll realize they’re everywhere — the crazier, the better.
1. Bibimbap Festival
In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (攪拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
2. Waikiki Spam Jam
Who knew this canned meat had so much love? Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花環(huán)). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.
3. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.
Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) — 15,000 eggs strong — for the townsfolk (市民).
4. Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota, the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five- and six-year-old girls.

【1題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Bibimbap Festival部分中的Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (攪拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.可知，和其他任何節(jié)日一樣，這里也有音樂、娛樂和魔術(shù)，但讓它與眾不同的是由幾十位廚師在一個大碗里攪拌起來的石鍋拌飯，可供400多人享用。由此可知，石鍋拌飯節(jié)的特別之處在于它的拌飯需要幾十個廚師一起在一個大碗里攪拌，這讓Bibimbap Festival變得與眾不同。故D項正確。
【2題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Waikiki Spam Jam部分中
Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花環(huán)).可知，事實證明，在夏威夷，午餐肉罐頭、草裙和花環(huán)是必備品。由此可知，在夏威夷，午餐肉、草裙和花環(huán)是最受歡迎的東西。故A項正確。
【3題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Potato Days Festival部分中的Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five- and six-year-old girls.可知，在八月的最后一個周五和周六，該鎮(zhèn)通過舉辦土豆采摘和削皮比賽來慶祝自己的土豆種植技能，同時還為5歲和6歲的女孩舉辦了一場“土豆小姐”選美比賽。由此可知，如果在八月有時間，你可以去在巴恩斯維爾舉辦的土豆節(jié)。故D項正確。
