Uses ClF3 to combust varous salad vegetables as a stupendously dangerous way of having a novelty lighter.
Small pressurised tank of ClF3, and a tube and indexing wheel for advancing a rod of carrot or cucumber or whatever into the combustion area.
Caution - creates horribly noxious fumes, may blow
up for no reason.
N-Stoff, or Chlorine TriFluoride

Part of any supervillian's chemistry set. Make sure to read the John Drury Clark quote under the heading Rocket Propellant. Then go out and find a copy of his excellent book "Ignition: An informal history of liquid rocket propellants" [Custardguts, Sep 28 2015]
Prior art? Skip to 0:53 if you like.

Incredibly foolish and ill-advised use of a dangerously reactive oxidising agent. |

Egregiously volatile [+]. |

I first read the description errantly as "This is research". |
|
| |
Where does one buy this stuff... I have a couple of
unshiftable stains that might benefit from being ignited. |

That depends ... will Sir be paying cash ? Used notes, non-sequential numbers, nothing bigger than a $50 ... |
|
| |
They make notes of less than $50?? |
|
| |
Don't forget to eat your vegetables, [absterge]. But I gotta
warn you, they carry a powerful punch. |
|
| |
They make notes bigger than a $50? |
|

Pre- or post- ignition? Either way, that would be "research" of the most frightening kind, [bliss], the kind best left to "volunteers". |
