I'm coming around to the view that it's expensive = high, even though it is absolutely dead ass incorrect.

You at least know what caviar looks like, right? You think that **** could possibly be pleasant texturally?

So if it looks like **** and tastes like **** and feels like ****, what exactly is the appeal?

It's like cluing Trump for 1 on "dumbest animal smartest animal"

Hes not a 1 but we know what we are supposed to say.

Yep, that's sorta how I'm interpreting it. If this isn't a 21, what exactly are we supposed to guess?

Do you like Vegemite? I've never tried it, but it has a horrible reputation.

I do! But it's not something you can just eat out of the jar like peanut butter, which is why everyone you see in those vids hates it so much. It would be like eating butter straight out of the tub, or drinking mustard straight or something. That's why all those vegemite challenges are so stupid.

You get something like 100+ servings from a single jar...that's how little of it you're supposed to use at a time.

Let's wait for input, but I'm thinking we just bold 21. He picked more or less the most expensive possible ingredients.

100% onboard with d1iab. I quite like sushi with roe which is the closest I’ve come so think the texture is conceivably high even without them being super fancy.

20 seems best to me

I actually think if we're gonna go that high, we should just do 21. I know it makes it easy for the other team if wrong, but this just feels like a clue that's either 21 or something random to me.

"Mouthfeel" is weird. There are a few things I don't like the texture of, but then everything else is just pretty much on the same tier.

I think you can like the taste of something but still find it's mouthfeel at least somewhat unappealing.

I think he's expecting us to say 21. Maybe its 20 and he's locking up a 3, but 21 feels most likely.

Down with 20 or 21. I prefer 20 but don't feel strongly

What if it's 21 but it turns out that truffles and caviar have objectively mediocre mouthfeels?

so spurs and I prefer 20, d1iab and carl prefer 21

derwi with the deciding vote and can bold whichever he prefers

i'll make a last minute pitch that i think there are other things that could be used to be more extreme 21, from sexual/relationship things to hygienic things, or even just 'your favourite food' or 'a perfectly cooked steak/insert almost any foodstuff'. sure that last one could be angly depending on what exactly was said, so not suggesting house would definitely use it, but just pointing out there could be ways to point more to 21

In many spectrums I'd clue the same for 20 an 21. This is one of them. 20 is better to guess for multiple reasons when it's not a slam dunk, which this obviously isn't.

I think I prefer 20, it could be 21 but 21 could also just be something that seems more exaggerated or more of a meme answer like Pizza.

The year was 2020. The apocalypse was upon us. People dying left and right. Protests all over the world. A military regime had been installed. Truffle pigs were flying and the world was crashing. But I only remember one thing. HH went 20 for the most famous/expensive caviar and not just truffles but white truffles, the far rarer and more expensive form of truffles.

Not caviar and truffles, BELUGA caviar, the most famous caviar that you cant even get because its banned and not just truffles but WHITE truffles, which at least in USA are seen 20x less than black truffles (dunno if its a seasonal or regional thing or what).
