Street performers the world over huff dangerous fumes in order to bring you blasts of fire. Petroleum distillates and strong alcohols have been the only option, but now, through the same technology that brings you grain elevator explosions comes Edible Fire breath, wheat flour with just a hint of chocolate. Directions: Fill mouth, press lips together firmly, blow (towards open flame) as though sounding a brass instrument, watch out for your eyebrows! It really works, really watch out for your eyebrows!

Do people really want fire that can be fitted nasaly?

Strangely enough I was talking to a fire breather a few days ago and asked him if the fluid they spit tasted ick. He said it used to but nowadays it's all super-refined lamp oil flavoured with peppermint and tastes like mouthwash. He didn't recommend swallowing too much though, or you get a runny bottom.

Have you tried this with flour? Somehow, I just don't see it working as well as liquid alternatives. A shot of 151 always does the trick for me.
