food challenge
Competitive eating event
A food challenge is a test to determine whether someone has a food allergy, typically conducted under medical supervision by introducing small amounts of the suspected allergen.
The term also refers to competitive or novelty eating contests where participants attempt to consume large quantities within time limits: The restaurant offers a free meal if you complete their burger challenge.
Social media has popularized personal food challenges—trying extremely spicy dishes, unfamiliar cuisines, or restricted diets for set periods.
