Scrambled eggs (with garlic and onion soup powder mixed in) and chicken nuggets. The chicken and eggs always give me gas (within a couple of hours) and the onions and garlic give the product required stench. ---

I’ll second (third) the pickled eggs. Pickled quail eggs work best. Match 'em up with raw apples and beer, and you’ll give people nosebleeds. I’ve also had good results with crabcakes. ---
