When does something count as being eaten - once you swallow it? I don’t think you’d succeed at that with lava.

You’d be able to taste it which I think would fulfill the requirements of knowing its texture.

People who eat the Carolina reaper prove that this is both not a deterrent, and may in fact be the point. On the other hand I’ve never heard any of them talk about the texture afterward. So maybe the burning is too distracting.
