(where ‘brain’ is ‘oyster’ I think)

The unrelenting alkali got a bit much halfway through the egg.

Harold McGee says that the pH of a century egg goes up to 12! Maybe that’s what happened poor Pete’s mouth.

you can’t have pWHOAR w/p pH!

peppery needles is what i largely recall of the century egg, actually — and “metallic” is a word i would use of the blueness of strong blues, tho poss.not routine stiltons

Somewhere on the internet is an FDA-originating list of everything you can put in your mouth, and its pH.

The blue cheese burn is more like eating peppery needles than eating acid, I think.

I might have to, now that you’ve compared it to cheese. BUT WHAT IF I DIE?
