Habañero. My aunt grows them in her backyard in DeLand.

Me: "What's a habañero? Is it like a jalapeño? Sure, I'll have one."
Aunt: "Be careful, it's a lot hotter."
Me, after biting it in half: "Wha?"

Yeah, when I had a hab people were warning me how bad it was, and it didn't kick in until a while after I swallowed. Then it floored me, and then bets started for a second victim :P

I don't really know what the hottest I've had is. I don't really eat too many chile peppers straight. When I cook, I either use crushed red pepper or sriracha. CRP is a universal seasoning, since it adds heat, and a slight chile flavor without being an overpowering sauce.

The most powerful sauce I've ever tried was this homemade chile/fig sauce from an Israeli family. Goddamn was that strong.

I am not sure what type of peppers used in Kimchi. I eat a good handful of Kimchi time to time.

I've eaten processed habanero peppers before. I've even had poppers made from habanero shells.

Anybody who claims they can eat one fresh without feeling extremely ill I call bluff on. The acid in the pepper is literally hot enough to burn skin. I can only imagine what it can do to one's insides.

Fresh hab, 2-3 inches long. The burning in my mouth lasted for an hour or so. Don't remember how my stomach felt.

Stomach acid burns skin too.

Anyways it's not acid in the peppers that burns you; it's the capsaicin, which specifically triggers pain receptors, thus causing the sensation of burning.

Felt a bit queasy for a moment, ate another burger (without habanero on it) and felt fine. It was spicy goodness :D

You're right, I misspoke. But regardless, Jalapenos make me have some serious bathroom woes...

Habanero sauce, peppers, and poppers. All very good, all very spicey. Never had a naga, though. Never even knew they existed. I can handle spicey food REALLY well.

Jalapenos don't even phase me anymore, unless I get some EXTREMELY spicy ones. And they don't give me any bathroom woes period :p

Sriracha's more spicy in my opinion.

I think i've had one of those naga ones before, my friend once had a bag of obscenely hot funny shaped chilis that we all bit into once when drinking vast quantities of alcohol.

i cant really remember its heat because being blind drunk tends to dull the senses.
2007-03-24, 7:33 PM #57
I've had jalapeno poppers, one type with cheddar cheese and another with the peppers cut in small "bottle caps." I eat the cheddar cheese poppers alot, as for the bottle caps, I haven't had any since last summer I think. Or last fall. Probably won't have them for a while.

Everyone in his right mind knows that the Surinamese 'Madame Jeanette' are the spiciest peppers in the world. Nothing even comes close.

I got a plate of wings at a local place, they call them 'suicide wings'. I don't know what's on them, but apparently no one can eat them, because they have a little wager that, if you eat the whole plate, you get $100. It's ten wings. I got the people drinking with me to all agree to pay me a dollar for every one I ate, because they were saying I couldn't even eat one. I could have really used that $100, but I only got $35. I could only eat seven of them before I was rubbing paper towels on my tongue and demanding the bar tender bring me a loaf of bread and a gallon of water right ****ing now.

My lips tingled for hours.

16000000 units? Isn't that basically pure capsaicin?

Oh, aye I just have to ask where the hell all you people find these peppers? I've honestly never seen them.
nope.
2007-03-25, 11:21 AM #63
Yeah, 16 million is pure cap. You can't even get up to that with the normal distillation methods (like what I used) because there's some less spicy (though still potent) capsaicinoids that get miked in and lower the Scoville rating down to around 10 million or so at best.

Yeah didn't you get like 60/40 of dihydrocapsaicin/capsaicin in your little mixture. BTW, you still have the page on how to do that? I'm feeling...scientific today.

Yep, right here; it's at the bottom: http://www.chez-williams.com/Hot%20Sauce/chemistry_and_scoville_units.htm

BE WARNED you will probably want some sort of breathing filter and definitely a pair of safety goggles for doing this. Alse make sure you're in a well-ventilated area.

What would happen if you drank a teaspoon of pure cap? Would you survive?

I'm pretty sure if you spilled pure cap on the floor you would have to get some professionals to come in and clean up the place. :P

Apparently, a single crystal will turn an entire pot of soup too hot to bear.. I'm pretty sure a teaspoon would make you very ill if not worse.

But cap doesn't actually burn, it just makes you feel like you're on fire. There must be some upper limit to how much pain signal the nerves can actually deliver.

Yeah, but it's far beyond the point where the pain would literally kill you. Pain can send you into shock, give you a heart attack, and in doing so, literally kill you.

I made the mistake of rubbing my eyes after handling 1.5 million hot sauce once. I don't think I need to further detail the situation to tell you that nerves can deliver a hell of a lot more than you think.

When drunk once I ate a full jalapeno, seeds and all. Never again, and never will I eat anything hotter than a jalapeno.

I puked blood that night. :gonk:
