Terrible food
Back when I was a student, we had a "clear out the fridge" party. Everyone brought what they had left and the idea was to make a big meal out of it.
The stew/casserole/whatever was going surprisingly well until someone added the tin of mackerel in tomato sauce they'd been hoarding all year.
What's the worst thing you've ever cooked or eaten? Who's the worst cook you've encountered?
[and yes, we've asked this before, but way, way back before we had the fancy QOTW pages]

Food weapons
To use food as a weapon, you either need to create a reaction to liberate energy, or for the simple hit, just bash someone over the head with a large marrow. But as example of the former, mix some vinegar or other acid with bicarbonate of soda in a sealed bottle. Generates lots of carbon dioxide, but unfortunately it would not build up enough pressure to rupture the bottle.
Unlike my liquid nitrogen bomb, but that's WAY off topic.
Or you could try the Mythbusters trick of Coke and Mentos. That looks like fun. Or try these little round pellets of coarse salt. Put them on an electric cooker ring and they explode nicely (discovered by me, aged ca 11 years).
