My personal prices for each:
Live grub: $50
Large raw onion: $25
Carolina Reaper: $100
Century egg: $10
None of these are even $1000 foods, much less $1,000,000 foods.
If you offered me $1 million to eat all four, I’d do it without thinking twice about it.
Son of a bitch has a dedicated menu for eating crap!
Though I’d pay 50 bucks to watch you eat a grub.
What is the thing on the bottom right?
But as someone who likes onions, this is a no-brainer. I’ll eat a dozen onions like they were apples for that much money!
Century Eggs are raw eggs kinda cured with lye I think. I’ve eaten one just because I was in China. They’re fine, probably better than a raw brown onion.
I will take your word for it. But I will still go with onions all the same, because I never had a century egg, but like I said, I am super familiar with all sorts of onions. Better the devil you know and all that.
Century eggs
I think I heard of them. I do not know anything about them. So I will be eating onions. carolina reapers are simply too hot. Onions? Spicy, but very manageable. Also onions are good for you. They’re the most popular vegetable in the world!
I’d eat the onion for free tbh, I love those fuckers.
Bugs one bite would be no issue for 1 million. Maybe even 100 dollars to be honest depends if I had a few beers in me and was at some kind of social event.
Onion would be fine, no qualms there. I would do it for 20.
Would prefer not to do the pepper but again I would do the pepper for 100 bucks in the right setting. I’ve had this exact scenario at a restaurant before when we had some drinks in us.
Wouldn’t do the egg. Would do it for a million but it would be the only one that would feel like a actual challenge.
Don’t eat raw bugs!

No bug can stop me
Oh is that the extremly old egg? One of my mates ate it one day. It’s wasn’t good but definitely not puke-worthy. I’d eat that without a payment.
I’ve never had one so in fighting my first impressions. I’m sure you could talk me down to 100 dollars again.
But I don’t wanna sell myself too short if I keep telling people my bottom price when I could be getting a million.
I was born in New Mexico; under the land of the green and red chilies. Give me that fucking reaper and my easy money.
OP really underestimates what I would eat for one million dollars. Shit I’ll eat a dismembered human thumb
>powered milk
Milk so high in test that it cums from a bull
Can we cook them?
Right, can I add some rice? Stir fry them? Since I ate All of them do I get 4 million?
Put the onion in some nice pasta sauce
Eat some pasta

Tax free! I’m no billionaire! I’ll pay my fair share thank you!
Onions taste like somebody already ate them, enormous no thank you 🤮
What an interesting perspective… Thanks for sharing.
Ah, they never said whether we can cook them or not. So I’m taking some sautéed onions on a bbq
Combine all 4 and you have a nice spicy dish.
I was going to ask "if we eat all 4 can we get $4 million?
Same. Hell, I wouldn’t mind eating it raw; I like onion, but a whole one at once might be a bit much, so if I can spread it over a couple of hours then it’s easy enough. Although, for 1mill USD I can manage in about 5 minutes, but I could do it for A LOT less. 100$, maybe?
If I get to roast it, I don’t need to be paid. It’s free food.
i can do the entire onion pretty easy if i mix it with a bunch of tomato, cilantro, tomatillo, assorted peppers, lime, salt, and some tortilla chips
Even raw, anyone should be able to choke down one onion
We already cook tomato hornworms here in the South. 🤷🏼♂️ (That dude probably doesn’t taste like a fried tomato though.)
Thanks for the cool $4 milion. Easiest money ever made.
Four onions and I’m full.
I hope you don’t share a bed with anyone that night.
Do people really dislike onions that much? Like, I throw diced onions on a ton of different things and usually have to pay for it. I feel like eating a whole onion would just be something I’d do if I was drunk enough and didn’t have anything else in the house.
Protein tip, diced/sliced onion with a little sugar diluted in vinegar is a great refreshing side dish.
I think onions are disgusting, but I’m a Supertaster (it sounds better than it is) so my taste buds are weird. But yes, to me they’re enormously disgusting.
Thankfully leeks and shallots are both delicious, so when I cook I just replace any onion in a recipe with either leek or shallot.
Red or white, I love raw onion. The looks of revulsion I get make it that much better, but I do really enjoy them. They were my #1 grazing food, next to cheese when I worked at a pizza shop long long ago.
There was a kid that used to show up at our bus stop every morning eating a massive onion like an apple.
As an adult, he drove his car off a cliff and killed himself, on purpose.
Coincidence? I think not.
Onion and cheese together though? Brother.
I hope no prejudice, I haven’t eaten an onion that I didn’t like.
Also … it doesn’t say anything about how you eat those. No prohibition against cooking it or adding additional ingredients. No time limit.
Chop that onion up, cook it, and use it in a meal or two, and it’ll be totally fine – delicious even. And I don’t even really like onions.
Shockingly just putting a whole onion in the oven and baking it with no prep, spices or anything is delicious too. It starts to caramelize and it becomes a sweet treat.
If we’re going on technicalities then you might need to eat the skin too
Eh, not that bad if I grind it up into a powder first.
Just don’t chew, nibble on it and it’s no issue. Don’t ask me how I know
They make my tummy hurt :(
That sucks… COVID made onions and garlic taste funny for like 3 weeks and that almost ended me.
i’ve managed to avoid that symptom. it legitimately terrifies me. when i was at my lowest, flavor (not food. sometimes just aroma) was all i had left to enjoy.
I’m not an onion lover, but I’ve somehow recently realized that maybe its because yellow onion sucks? White onion (in chili, salsa, etc) I don’t mind, and might even miss if it were left out. Red onion, it kinda depends, I often don’t want as much as they put on a burger, but I’ll leave some small amount on.
But, all the recipes that call for yellow onion seem to be things I don’t like. I haven’t just tried one alone, to test, but can onion lovers chime in on whether yellow onion is distinctly different enough to be the kind I’ve hated much of my life?
The three main onion colors have different strengths.
Red - best raw. Great diced or sliced as a topping for salad for example, pizza, or maybe chili.
White - holds texture very well. “Clean” taste, not overpowering. Great mixed into pico, salsa, etc. Can also be a good topping for chili.
Yellow - best cooked into food. Has highest sugar content, so amazing for low and slow cooking when you want a sweet (carmelized) taste, or just a nice mellow taste in a stew. Not great to eat raw compared to the others.
You say you don’t like recipes that call for yellow onions… What do you mean?? You don’t like cooked food? Almost every recipe that calls for cooking an onion will call out yellow onions.
Please give examples of recipes that you don’t like that call for yellow onions, I will try to work with you. You seem like you are open to new things.
At the end of the day you might just not like yellow onions. But it might be a texture thing (they can get mushy) or you’re accidentally putting them on stuff raw when a red/white is more appropriate.
I hated onions as a kid but enjoy them as an adult.
Yellow onions are kind of the “default” onion in my mind. Basically anything cooked in a skillet can start with some onions in butter or oil. Or as part of the base to start a soup. Most of the time, the onion itself kind of fades into the background, adding some sweet notes to a dish.
Red and white onions are more likely to be used raw (chili topping, pico, added to some salads…). But if I’m cooking, it’s usually a yellow onion.
I eat the kind pictured in the OP image almost exclusively, because they’re the cheapest where I live. They aren’t that different from red onions to warrant the hate. Idk about white ones, they aren’t popular here at all.
Put yellow onions on sandwiches, it’ll be fine. Great for frying too. I personally don’t like boiled onions, but it’s used in soups around here quite a bit.
Yellow onions aren’t usually better for cooking, especially for caramelizing. White and red tend to be better used fresh or pickled.
Yellow onions are great though.
i start almost every meal sauteeing a couple onions and a garlic
The egg is better than it looks
I was trying to figure out why an avocado would look like that so thanks for clearing it up.
Aren’t we all
I’d eat it for free with soy sauce lol
For those curious, they’re preserved eggs, often sold at Asian groceries. You might also find them in the form of an appetizer at an authentic Chinese restaurant
From the wiki description it has ammonia in it though??
So do you.
Are you delicious, Meatwagon?
Depends on how you cook…
I love ammonia, so maybe it wasn’t an impartial opinion
I couldn’t stomach a few bites of it. I don’t even consider myself particularly picky
Can I eat all 4 for $4 million?
Asking the right questions.
I would eat a century egg over a whole raw onion any day.
Oh is that what it was? Yeah a century egg for sure
You’re out of your fucking mind.
Are you saying that because you don’t like century eggs or are you just judging by looking?
I know Iike onions. Reapers would hurt. Century eggs might taste great, but even I ain’t trying that and I’ll try damned near anything. I’d try the caterpillar before one of those.
How white are you?
Justplaindave:
Incredibly. I’m made up of pretty much all of Western Europe.
Century egg is just egg that’s a different colour. It reaches that colour because it’s been simmered in some tea/soup for a long time (hours to a few days) at low heat.
That sounds like a tea egg. Century eggs are cured in an alkaline solution for weeks to months. Both taste fine.
I’ll try damned near anything
Doubt.
I guarantee I eat things you’d never touch. I just ain’t eating any eggs that spoiled during the Harding administration.
It’s not spoiled, it’s preserved
Sure.
But an onion is fresh and just an onion.
they’re only preserved for a few weeks
Then they should change the name to month egg.
And those things are nearly black. That’s not preserved. That’s rotten.
I love onions.
That’s a century egg? I thought it was an eyeball from a cow or a squid or something.
But how will you learn his cool fucking backstory?
