A Raclette is both a type of cheese and a fondue-like dish featuring the cheese. And in the Méribel-Mottaret region of France, one of the ski resorts has a cheese eating challenge like no other. The Challenge: eat half a round of cheese between four people. The cheese is usually fashioned into a round of about 6 kg (13 lb), so that's still a lot of cheese... Details are sketchy, and I've only found 1 photo of the actual cheese, but regardless, that's a lotta cheese you'd have to eat!
