The Friday Challenge

STEED · 10-05-07, 04:12 AM

You need one watch or stopwatch and six dry crackers and now the challenge.

Can you eat all six dry crackers under one minute?

Skybird · 10-05-07, 05:01 AM

Done. What's next?

VipertheSniper · 10-05-07, 05:13 AM

Try that with one pack "Manner (Neapolitaner) Schnitten"

HunterICX · 10-05-07, 05:25 AM

Put WASABI on the crackers

then you have a real challenge.

Up in Northumberland I was in a pub and watched a cream cracker and raw black pudding eating contest, each cracker with a slice of pudding about 1/2" thick on it. An old lady of about 80 won!

You want a challenge with crackers? Try eating four crackers and dip them into this tasty sweet little sauce named "Vicious Vampire". I'll even give you not just a minute, but a complete hour.

I tasted it once. Not funny.

I tried a salsa made out of Red Savina habanero peppers (the hottest peppers known to man) once. Stupid mistake.

That was quite literally the most painful gastronomic experience of my life. It burned like hell going in, and didn't feel that much better going out.

I melted a toothbrush in attempting to cool down my palette.

translated from a German sales site for Vicious Vampire:

What to use it for?

- for "nuclear wings" (best served in a Castor dry cask storage container)

- one drop into the soup, and it never becomes cold again

- "five were invited, ten have come, season dinner with Vampire, give all a Welcome."

From the warning printed on the bottle:

In case of breaking the bottle, use rubber gloves and eye protection glasses, ventilate carefully for several hours. Never use undiluted. Avoid contact with naked skin.

they also say that the socalled Red Pepper Sauce from Lousianna has a Scoville-value of 2.500-5.000 SHU. Vicious Vampire scores a terrible 100.000 - 120.000. It also is at least 40-50x as hot as ordinary Tabasco sauce. The Scoville value rates the '"sharpeness" of the sauce's biting, examining the saturation with Capsaicin, which is responsible for the hot, biting sharpness that our tongue tastes when having found the enemy.

The Vicious vampire is said to be the hottest chilli sauce you can buy on this planet. Not by Scovilles units, but by subjective taste. So, the number alone is not all.

Until 2005 it was produced in the USA (no wonder people don't like them

), now it is brewed in Italy. European birth rates are declining. Freaky militaries are testing it for use in aerosol-bombs.

BAH

No one can do it, as they dry your mouth out and then your jaw goes stiff. I bet you lot were drinking.

I love Wasabi!!! I sometimes cake a good clump of it on my Sushi, and I'll sometimes do it to my Sashimi!

Now, make it more interesting. Take those crackers and spread peanut butter on them. Now eat them in under a minute.

Skybird · 10-05-07, 12:33 PM

I start to wonder. In Germany, a cracker ( we use the same name) means a small, often round piece of salty biscuit/cookie, 2-5 cm in diameter. You could eat four of them with just one bite.

I start to imagine that cracker in the US mean something different?! Salty cookies of Pizza-size, or what?

I think that for most Americans what comes to mind is a saltine.
