Would you eat it?

Ohio, the shittier more polluted part you go through after leaving the coast but before you get to the Midwest. Has a nice ring to it.

Once you hit Western PA you hit peak shit and it gradually improves once you cross into Ohio.

Well,after you cross through the Ohio/PA border towns that is.

Coal, steel, and fracking industries really beautify a landscape.

How Minnesota and Wisconsin are in different regions is baffling.

This is how certain types of threads get started.

That’s a no for me, just cause I think the orange is gross.

My guess is that they are safe, but the flavor will be off

[Brownski]

You’re joking right? Of course you can eat it. It’s at least 90% as good as it was the day it shipped from the factory.

How do you know when you get to the Midwest?

Ffs, what was so wrong with the chocolate ones?

Hey, sometimes you just need to have that fake citrus tang as you clog your arteries with cheap carbs.

Hostess is just responding to the markets!

Dip it in some ketchup for a well rounded meal

You all know that of course I ate it. I hate myself for doing it. There's no way it posed a pathogen danger. Biting into it, I could tell it was stale, but the crunch of the frosting added a new dimension to it. The cake portion definitely had more of an old sponge than fluffy cake thing going on. That artificial orange was something else that I don't really need to repeat. And the sugar and grease were what one would expect from a Hostess anything. it was like that mouthful of frosting that you should scrape off the supermarket birthday cake. My stomach definitely felt off for a short while.

How I ended up with that on my counter is a different matter. I certainly didn't purchase it. It is proof that the Salvation Army is truly evil. Thing#2 volunteers there every Monday to serve soup. That's a whole other issue and a sign that I failed as a parent. Someone handed him a "gift" bag of expired food. The cupcake was the last thing in it. I double dog dared myself to eat, partially because my kid didn't think anyone should due to its dubious claim to be a food product.

I roasted up some peppers. My boy prides himself on eating hot food. So kiddo. How hot is too hot?
First, a bite of jalapeño. Tasty, spicy.
Next, a bite of Serrano. This is actually fairly hot!
Last up. And the sister egging us on...
She says, whoever eats the whole habanero is the true slice monkey. Alright. We both ate entire roasted habaneros. Hoy shit! They are fuckin HOT!

We both proceeded to suffer for the next 20 minutes, and will likely have a gnarly case of ring sting in the morning.

Nevermind the overcooked meat. That's what I get for weeding the garden at the same time.

So. Question for you all is, roasted Habanero, would you eat it? We did. Oof.

[MakersTeleMark]

I would not overcook my meat, I can say that. As for torturing children, I would totally do that.

Yeah, i was disappointed in the overcooked meat. Got distracted pulling weeds. -1 point for basinbeater. I'll do better next time.

You need to bring your boy to Portland and eat the Great Balls of Fire at Salvador Molly’s. Each fritter has 3-4 habaneros. Eat five fritters, with all the sauce (Sunshine &Pain) and be immortalized with your photo on the wall and on Facebook

Or come for the King and Queen of Heat contest in Feb or March.

Each year hundreds of brave, if somewhat foolhardy, souls eat Great Balls of Fire to help Oregon Energy Fund pay winter heating bills for families in need across the state. The Toughest Tongue, King/Queen of Heat and other contests induce crazies and competitive types to eat more than anyone ever should. But it’s for a good cause and lots of fun to watch. Local TV, radio and social media often give the events colorful coverage.

But don’t be fooled. Read the warning sign. Think it over. This is seriously hot stuff. Gastrointestinal distress is pretty much guaranteed. We’ll make you sign a release because no one walks away unscathed.

Not sure what the record is, but there was a lady about 8 years ago that ate 37.




I’ve eaten one. Then I farted and my pants caught fire.

Fire on the Mountain also has a spicy wing challenge so you could double up while you’re here.

I think you are even actually. Not bad.

I used to be on the wall of flame at the place at the base of targhee.

Any time a kid's palate gets roasted deserves points. I remember as a kid if I got one red pepper flake I would be running around the kitchen. I kinda wish I got hit harder so I could hit up India and Thailand with abandon. I'm still such a sucker for heat. But the upside is that my sense of taste is way more advanced than my IQ.

The only competition I ever won was a hot dog eating contest in a hole in the wall in western mass. I ate 8 dirty dogs. Get your mind out of that gutter. I won, guess it, a free punch card and a fake tux t-shirt. But I did adopt that store's name as my trail name on the AT because I couldn't come up with anything else. Fact.

I did win a standing long jump competition in middle school for some presidential honor or some BS. I had a violent Irish father, so it came with the territory.

Don't make me find and post the Texas Chili contest substitute judge but.
