I was at a bar with a friend years ago and he kept talking about how much he loves limes. He went on and on about it. Finally, I told him I would bet him $50 if he could eat a whole lime, rind and all. He couldn’t refuse after spending 10 minutes talking about his love for them. The bartender was happy to offer a large one for the challenge.

This kid tried for 45 minutes to consume the lime. The juicy interior was quickly consumed and all that was left was the bitter, leathery peel which had the surface area of a dessert plate. He was chewing on it like he was trying to get someone to guess “chewing” in charades. He, very begrudgingly admitted defeat while me and the bartender were breathlessly laughing.

A steak our vegetarian neighbor fried for us. It was embodiment of “haven’t cooked meat for 30 years”

She makes great non-meat foods though!

I once bought these chocolates that had a outer coating making them look like decorative rocks.

My mum loves to have little rocks as decoration so I bought a pack and decided to surprise her with it. Out of nowhere in front of her I decided to bite through one and she was in shock looking at me as she slowly realised they were edible. They looked extremely convincing.

They were pretty damn hard tho. Nothing too bad however.

I’m a sideshow performer. One of my sillier “tricks” is eating fruit rinds.

Impossible: coconut, mandarins/clementines (you can bite them but it’s like chewing leather)

Tough: Watermelon and pineapple. Bananas are also hard because of how dry they leave the mouth. These are the ones I do most often. I like to bring someone up on stage to join me

Easy: Lemon, lime, most oranges

Better with the rind: kiwi, ripe mango
