    Is that a century egg? I’d eat that. Been wanting to try one actually. I hear they’re tasty af.

    I can eat raw onion in salads or sometimes even as side so you know I can probably nibble at a full onion for a couple hours and finish it easily. If it needs to go down in a minute then I can swallow the chillies or the century egg whole.

    A couple of years ago I grew some habanero peppers in my garden. One of the plants had been mislabeled, however, and turned out to be carolina reapers. Eating them didn’t feel like normal hot peppers – it felt like I had been punched hard in the lips.

      We grew some reapers intentionally once and we quickly figured out the best way to use them was to chop them up, scrape them into the compost bin, and then cut other stuff without washing the cutting board.

      If it’s a century egg yeah, except sliced through salad, first time I had one like a boiled egg and it was very overpowering in flavour.

      I liken it to Anchovies

    $1 Million dollars is a lot of money and with these options you’re risks are: overdoing a pleasant snack (onion), discovering a new delicacy (century egg), an unpleasant flavor and texture (grub), or like twenty cumulative minutes of fiery pain (carolina reaper).

    For $100, none of these are worth it unless we’re allowed to prepare them in some sort of dish. For $1000, I’ll eat a raw onion. For $10,000, anything but the grub, even all three.

    For $1 Million? I’ll eat all four of these, raw (possibly wriggling), and ask for seconds, if required. I’d be a fool to do otherwise.

      I paid to eat bugs from a food cart in Thailand, though they were cooked and seasoned.

      When it comes to really hot peppers, its more than the pain going in. They strike again on the other end. I didn’t think about that the first time I ate a ghost pepper and then spent the next day roaming around Washington DC.

        For me it’s the heartburn and the hiccups. My mouth and anus can take the hottest peppers in the world, the rest of me really can’t.

          Oof. I can’t imagine that kind of heartburn. I’ve only had normal hb once from too many chicken wings but I do remember feeling like my stomach was empty all day even after eating food. It made me feel a bit weak for several hours.

      False. Any dollar amount over like $20 and the onion is a good choice unless you must eat the skin. I’m which case IDK a hundo is probably sufficient.

    The onion, obviously. I eat raw onion sometimes just because I want to. Eating a whole one wouln’t be awful.
