I would invite you to go and read the accounts of the F3C participants and the food they were forced to eat. I NEVER said the food in all of Spain was bad. I DID say that the food at the WC's was apparently quite poor.
From the Brits:
>>Around 19:00 we all headed out to the contest site for “an end of preliminaries” barbeque. With no sight or smell of cooking meat, Steve and I broke out the foamies and, with the help of a couple of parachuting action figures strapped to wings via loose elastic bands, we entertained the massing crowd. Soon stunt kites and smaller indoor foamies from other nations joined us, and much fun was had by all. As the sun set, cries of “Foods ready” enthused us to pack up and head for the large tent. Boy are we hungry!
What greeted us was a pathetic arrangement of crisps and the occasional dried slither of sausage on bread. No burgers, no sausages, no cooked meat at all. In fact there was no barbeque. Most teams beat an instant and hasty retreat to find “real” food, leaving a mixture of judges (who had no vehicles of their own) and organizers behind. Pete was heard to say, “This event is turning out to be worse than Turkey” – reference to what was until now the worst catered international F3C event on record. We (the competitors, team managers and supporters) are already dreading the “Banquet” for which we’ve paid 75 euros a head. If that fails to live up to expectation, a number of teams have told me they will be officially requesting their money back.
From New Zealand:
>>The food here in Zamora is absolutely terrible. All the teams have mentioned it, it´s absolute crap no matter where you go. A 5 year old child with a stove can make better food than what you find here!

I'm pretty sure if you eat a lot of sweet things during the day, you'll be going to the toilet frequently.
