So, I am designing a story that is set in the ~15th century with creatures that can create fire at will ([Role of anthropomorphic foxes in a medieval army](http://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/68131/the-role-of-anthropomorphic-foxes-in-a-medieval-army)). Now one of these creatures is having a problem with the local authorities and it basically escalades into a food fight, where it’s possible to use magic to set the food on fire, but not to use the magic directly against the enemies. „Why?“ you ask? Anti-magic-armour!

**What would be the most effective „weapon“ against medieval guards, if „weapon“ is defined as „food available at a ~15th century banquet in the castle of a rich king“, when considering the ability to set the food on fire at will?**

I was inspired by other questions asking about [creative weapons](http://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/18402/lets-weaponize-jellyfish) and [RWBY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6nL6i5jOaY). 

Here are the rules:

-	The character can set any food on fire whenever he wants to
-	The magic-fueled fire burns with ~1.500°C (can be adjusted if needed; basically it's like holding a big [bunsen burner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunsen_burner) under the food whose flame covers the whole food)
-	Up to three magic-fueled flames at a time
-	There is no time-limit on how long a single magic-fueled flame can exist, meaning that the character will not run out of energy
-	The character is in a big castle with [plenty of space](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladislav_Hall) but the only exit is blocked by a total of 3 [guards](http://pre11.deviantart.net/0fd6/th/pre/i/2014/125/0/8/medieval_soldier_presentation_shot_by_sumutf-d7hatqh.jpg)
-	The owner of the castle is rich and wanted to impress a lot of women with the banquet, which means any „weapon“ you need is available
-	The character is (similar to) an athletic human with heightened senses (hearing, seeing, …)
-	**The goal is to cripple or kill the 3 guards as fast as possible, so that the character can run away**


I was thinking about something along the lines of throwing big chunks of meat around and melting them mid-air to let hot fat rain down on the soldiers and into their eyes, but I have no idea if this is feasible, how much damage this could do and what other "weapons" I could use.

**And remember kids: Don’t try this at home!**
