When you think you’ve heard it all, someone steps in and tells you, “here’s more”. This Chinese man named Li Yongzhi has been nicknamed “Chilli King” for eating 2.5kilos of chilli peppers everyday.
He formed this strange habit as a youngster when he says he could go without meat or eggs but could not do without eating something spicy. According to him, “In the morning, other people always brush their teeth, but the first thing I do is eat chili and rinse my mouth with that. If the food has no spiciness then it has no taste.”
The Chilli King, who has somehow become a local hero, says he loves them so much he grows eight different varieties in his own back yard in Zhengzhou, China.
Recalling the time his son was struck by a truck 10 years ago he said: “At that time, I would eat two bowls of chili peppers, drink some water, and then go right back to the hospital.”
With his strange love for pepper, he eats his daily quota like snacks throughout the day. At one point, all he ate was pepper!
“I just like to eat them, so I eat them. The hospital checked and they said that I am no different from anyone else.”
