OK, so they're consumed directly, not ground up or smashed into paste or something?

I'm not sure that's a very good measure of fear, though.

If you showed me an average jump-scare-infused "horror" flick of the variety that gets tossed out by the film-making industry every five minutes or so, you'd see my blood pressure and heart rate spike each time, but five minutes after the end I'd likely not even be able to identify that film it was I'd watched.

On the other hand, The Thing (the John Carpenter version) keeps me feeling unsettled each time I think of it (and has the occasional starring role in my rare nightmares). During the movie, though? Maybe a blood pressure increase, and a slight increase in heart rate. But nothing compared to the jump-scare fodder.

Yeah, the day there's an airliner that has a single pilot is the day I stop flying ever again.

The USA doesn't have an administration any longer.

It has a regime.

Boiled peanuts are the second best way to make peanuts! (The best way is roasted in red clay.)

Buy a jar and go to town. (Equivalently, though I've just made every Brit and Aussie wish my death, go with Marmite.)

You don't have to worry about wasting it. If you don't like it, it's very good wood filler as well. (Indeed for my purposes that's its prime usage.)

Blood products (including blood sausage/black pudding, duck blood "tofu", etc.) react very badly with my stomach. I like the taste fine, but I really hate tasting it, along with any other food I'm eating with it, twice (if you get my drift).

If you're not eating black licorice (made from actual licorice root!) with double-"salt" (it's not really salt...) are you really living!? Salmiakki forever!

I still have no idea what capers are used for. I see them in delicatessens all the time, but I don't buy them because I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with them.

I was with you on the chocolate until the pop rocks. Wut.

Yeah, coriander is great if you're not stuck with those genes.

I'm the polar opposite. Steak tartar makes me gag and the highest quality sushi I ever ate barely reached "meh". (Normal sushi falls into the "let's just slide this in the garbage bin when nobody is looking" camp.)
