Speed-eater bags lobster record

A Japanese man has smashed the world record for eating a massive 41 lobster rolls in the fastest time ever.

Takeru Kobayashi scoffed the fishy snacks in 10 minutes, beating the old record of 22 rolls in that time.

The 28-year-old is famous for holding the world record for gobbling 53 hotdogs in 12 minutes - and for winning the competition five years in a row.

After the lobster contest Mr Kobayashi said: "The lobster meat falls apart so it's much more difficult to eat."
