What would you eat for $50k?

[Arex]

Right now, I'm perusing yellowworld while watching Fear Factor in the background. They're at the eating phase of the competition. Thus far, people've had to eat madagascar cockroaches, beetles, nightcrawlers, fermented squid pieces, testicles, pig brains, pig uterus, and habaneros. Oddly, I haven't eaten dinner so it's all kind of making me hungry. So what would you eat for $50k?

I ate squid testicles and cicada larvae and that was just for my wedding banguet. I'll do it again for $50 friggin k.

I don't think I've ever seen squid testicles. Ate a live cicada pupae/larvae (which is the one that's like the fully developed insect without wings?) back in the seventh grade. I even let it slowly crawl around on my tongue before I bit down on it. It tasted like avocado. Yummy.

How about a live mouse? Who here would eat a live mouse?=P I think I draw the line at fur...

tell me about it. I thought I was scooping tofu into my plate.

No mice for me. Although I've heard of a dish called Three Squeak Mice. One squeak when they're picked up. Second squeak as they're dipped into the sauce. Third squeak when you pop them in your mouth. No fur since they're supposed to be baby mice.

Yeah, I heard about people doing stupid shit like that on MTV. The price has most definitely got to be right. I don't think I'd even eat one roach for $75, much less six.=P

What's your minimum price to eat a single cockroach? And don't say you wouldn't ever eat one--almost anything can be had for the right price... $1,000? $10,000? $.25?

i ate a cockroach as a baby once.


for 50 k, i wonder. I guess it would have to be NOT poisonous and fairly sanitary if it's raw (like at least what you'd expect fr sushi or medium rare steak). The taste wouldn't matter so much if i can swallow it, although i MAY not be able to take down something really spicy or sour.

As for not being paid money, then I would eat anything's that's well-cooked and not hazardous to my health. That would include mice, roaches, maybe worms, and HELL YES CATS AND DOGS! I mean i REGULARLY eat the heads of whatever animal in a dish (this would usually mean fish, sometimes some sort of fowl), and I used to mix up my drinks a lot, so I should be fairly insensitive to things being "gross," although i'm getting more sensitive nowadays, which isn't good because i see being grossed out at an edible item as a sign of uptightness., and I don't want to be uptight.

[deez nuts]

Anything that won't get me sick or kill me.

I can so do fear factor! Sign me up!

dude, that's not a hardship - that's hoarding THE BEST PART!

Roasted crickets. Drowned in tabasco sauce please.

[amietron]

you know what'd be kinda cool? the whole lot of us (if we ever really DID get together) throw in undisclosed amount over $10 each into a hat, either make a whole bunch of gross/weird stuff to watch eachother eat, or find stuff. then, whoever lasts the longest or can eat the most icky stuff wins the money.

if it were a weekend affair, this could be the ice breaker. ;)

[Arex]

That's a damn good idea! YW Fear Factor! I've always wanted to eat nasty shit for money!=)
