Thai food with the highest spice level they sell at this one restaurant, reccomended for masochists and natives.

Does anyone else like to go for stupidly hot foods?

I didn't know there was such a thing.


Once I got into some trouble with my love of spice and my stupid need to show people up... my bf got this tiny little chili pepper with some soup and he was saying that it would be too hot for me to handle. So I ate it.

It hurt a little.

Chili that only two people that I know of will even come near. I also cook various oriental dishes, and have a recipe for a pepper sauce that'll melt through styrofoam. Nah, I don't like hot food.

It's probably very stupid of me, but I would really like to try that styrofoam melting sauce... just to try it.

Your thread just reminded me of an hilarious Texas joke....it is long but well worth the read:

Chili taster (R-rated)

The notes are from an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast:

Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off.

The Judge #3 called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Budweiser truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted".

Here are the scorecards from the event:

Chili # 1 Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili

Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.

Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.

Judge # 3 -- (Frank) Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.

Chili # 2 Arthur's Afterburner Chili

Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.

Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.

Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.

Chili # 3 Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili

Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Needs more beans.

Judge # 2 -- A bean less chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.

Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced from all of the beer.

Chili # 4 Bubba's Black Magic

Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.

Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.

Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-LB. bitch is starting to look HOT . . . just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?

Chili # 5 Linda's Legal Lip Remover

Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.

Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.

Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks!

Chili # 6 Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety

Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.

Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.

Judge #3-- I shit myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone.

Chili # 7 Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili

Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.

Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.

Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava like poop to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.

Chili # 8 Tommy's Toe-Nail Curling Chili

Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.

Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor dude, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili?

I laughed till I cried Canuck. Yeah, the hot chili would've killed the taster. Being married into a Yankee family gives me a great insight into how people react to "hot" foods.

Take Thai hot chilis (You can use any hot chili I think, I never have gotten around to using habeneros yet, Alittle black bean paste, and crushed garlic. heat slowly in oil (don;t fry it, just heat the oil and pepers slowly). Store it (in glass) for about three weeks. The consistancy should be that of a good Italian pesto, and the colour should be red.

Sorry for not listing amounts. I tend to cook more by instinct than recipe.

I love it...been eating it for years. However, I prefer stuff that is naturally spicy like various peppers or spices and not sauces or foods artificially spiced with capsaicin added to it to make it hotter.

My Spice of Choice is Blair's 16million Reserve (http://www.sweatnspice.com/429-13.htm)

For those of you who don't know, the Scoville scale measure how many parts of sugar water you have to dilute hot sauces in before the spice is no longer detectable to a panel of five judges. Blair's 16million reserve scored a 16 million (hence the name) ont his scale. Meaning it must be diluted in 16million parts of sugar water per every one part of sauce before the spice is undetectable.

Something I think that everyone should do once in their life: eat a whole fresh habanero.
Why? Simply to realize that the human body is only capable of experiencing so much. Not that I would know for sure, but I think the burn of a habanero is only limited by one's capacity to experience it rather than any lack of heat in the pepper itself.

I had a habanero once. My stomach seemed to have exploded. To try and cool down I had the steak that it came from but unfortunately it was covered in habaneros and habanero sauce. The next day I kinda couldn't move. *true story*:)

I have eaten Habs in quite a few different dishes. I have never tried one just by itself (I will at my earliest convenience), but I have bitten into large chunks of them. It was hot, but not eath-shaking. I have also had several different "Uber-hot" suaces (Pure-c, Rectal Rocket Fuel, Daves Insanity, others). Although Hot, none has ever really been uncomfortable.

Meh. It's only pain anyway.

You haven't tried spicy til you've had sichuan hotpot.
last year I was in Shenzhen, China and went to a Sichuan hotpot restaurant. Being forewarned as to how spicy it can be (and believe me, I like spicy) I ordered the mild hopot.
It came out with a 1/2" thick layer of chilli oil floating on top. All I could see was a deep red colour with dozens of chillis bobbing about. Little ones they were, too. They also brought out a selection of chilli pastes and oils, presumably in case it wasn't spicy enough.
I started pulling said chillis out before they flavoured the chicken too much. Out of interest I counted them.
I got to 80 something, and they wasn't all of them either.
This was in a meal meant for two.
We complained that we had ordered the mild and were told that was the mild! God knows what the hot would be like.

The locals in the place were wolfing their hotpot down like it was piss-weak water (and sniggering at us pulling all the chillis out when they thought we weren't looking). Cast-iron stomachs don't come close to describing their constitutions.

I'd eat Thai food for every meal of the day if it didn't cost me so much. I just love it so much.... sometimes I bring my own chilis and spices to put on the food if what I order doesn't have enough.
