anyone used food for self defence

I've heard tell about a certain elderly lady who tried to feed her husband lots of ice cream, hoping he'd die of a heart attack or something.

Throwing cayenne powder at your crazed knife wielding assailant's eyes when you don't have pepper spray etc might be a really good idea.
Note: Wind direction must be kept at mind.

Would you try that?

Using food for self defense... well. You'd need excellent foodwork.

I think forks and chopsticks - and knives for that matter - are clearly outside this discussion, being utensils not food. Although Jackie Chan has killed many gangsters with chopsticks.

Of course when a lot of people try to use chopsticks 90% of the food ends up on the ground, so Gracie Zhu Zhitsu is the most effective system

There are some epic hot sauces and "food additives," out there. I personally have two that fit the bill. One is a commercial product, "Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce." The other is a local concoction that I had to sign a waiver to try and buy.

I always have a bottle of Dave's in the fridge. It's super-economical to heat up a recipe with it, obviously. By which I mean, a drop the size of a map pin makes virgin chili rather spicey, a quarter teaspoon makes it similar to a very hot salsa.

I used to be able to eat little dabs of it off a spoon to lure in the unwary, buy I haven't tried in years, so I've probably lost that skill.

I have a funny anecdote about my Mother-in-law's Revenge that I may be coaxed into sharing. One can tell by the amount left in those small bottles (the one on the left is 5 oz.) that these are obviously lifetime supplies.
