Horrid food - more!

Eating chilli. A horrible experience.

It all started in Fiji when we were in the dining room and Alex dared Bella, Soph, Johnny and I to eat chilli seeds ( the hottest part of a chilli ) . For Bella and Sophie it was easy they had done it before but Johnny and I had NEVER eaten a chilli before.

Johnny quickly popped it in his mouth, chewed quickly, swallowed and gulped  two glasses of water. It was over for him!  I chickened out. The following morning Alex offered me $100, if I ate a whole chilly and swallowed it.  

I said……. I WOULD DO IT . This could be the worst mistake of my life! The next day the time came that I will always remember. Just before lunch Alex said it was my last chance I eat it now or never. Alex took a orange chilly out of the fridge while I got a big glass of milk ( big mistake, )  Alex chopped off the top of the chilli, the green part. He handed me the chilli with everyone watching. I was nervous. Everyone counted down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and it was in my mouth. At first I couldn't taste a thing but after that my mouth felt like there was a fire going on inside my mouth, quick someone call the fire brigade ! I kept chewing while everyone watched. It was so hot I started to cry. After a minute it was over but my mouth was on fire. As quickly as I could I drank all the milk. After the milk my mouth tasted really bad. Mum cut me a piece of bread which I ate, that made it WORSE . After 10 minutes the taste was less but my mouth was still on fire.

After another ten minutes we went to the shops. My mouth was still on fire! I looked for a T-shirt for dad. I looked and looked until I found the perfect one for dad. It cost $100 dollars, all the money gone. Oh well at least dad has a new t-shirt and I learnt a valuable lesson that day NEVER EVER EAT CHILLI AGAIN!
