Beschrijving
Eating/Drinking Contest. (Including the previous Type 1088*.) This tale exists chiefly in two different forms:
(1) An ogre (giant) and a man (boy) have an eating contest. The man slips his food (drink) into a concealed bag (behind his shirt) and makes the ogre believe he is the bigger eater.
In many versions the hero cuts open the bag to eat even more; the ogre imitates and kills himself [K81.1].
(2) The devil (giant) and a man have a drinking contest. The man drinks water, the devil is given alcohol (vinegar, vitriol). The devil feels sick and acknowledges the man as the better drinker [K82.3]. (Previously Type 1088*).
