Wow! I thought my Devil Tongues were bad. That's just ridiculous. I wonder if this is the pepper from the Simpson's chili episode, the ones grown by mental patients?

I don't know.


Would you try it if someone gave you 1000 ?

I don't know, I might have to. I'd have someone close by the phone just in case

My peppers are only rated at 200k units and the hottest sauce I've tried was a 750k unit sauce. And that was almost too much. I cut a sub in half and put about 5 drops on it. It was hot, almost too hot but it was good. The second half I doubled up...big mistake. I must of got a bit straight on my tongue because all of a sudden. And just so you know, the sugar trick does not work in this case.

How about eating some bread or drinking milk ? Does that work ?

Don't know that anything will work with something that hot.

Bread works with hot wings to a point. Milk before and while eating something hot works. Believe it or not bar nuts are pretty good, eat a handful before starting, then sneak a handful in every now and then. The oil in the nuts helps keep the oil in the peppers out. I've heard butterscotch candy works, but haven't tried it. Sugar works to help draw out the oils to a point.

I've gotten a free t-shirts or two for eating a plate of hot wings.

vodka, try it the next time, really works,

but I prefer to just let the peppers burn, gives me a rush like nothing else

I'll eat some spicy food but nothing that is crazy hot. Remember, it has to come out sometime.

in my pantry I try to keep about 8 or so different sauces at a time. some red chili based, some green habanero based, some vinegar based chili pastes, canned chillies as well. I go through them pretty often so I'm always on the lookout for something new to try and keep rotating the stash. I like to keep a variety because what might be good on some hummus won't go with a chicken burrito.

Sriracha is a constant because I use it while cooking to add another level of flavor. when I cook I like to use different forms of chillies(fresh, dried, ground) for layered flavor and heat.

coconut milk is great for cooking with lots of chillis because it is naturally cooling so it can take a lot of heat and still be tolerable. I made a nice coconut snapper and shrimp curry for my wife's aunt a few weeks ago served with some cilantro basmati rice. once the curry was almost done I gently poached the fresh seafood in the curry. served with a crisp italian pilsner

Teabaggins, Are you a chef? Sounds like it

[Teabaggins]

no, but in my own mind I am sometimes. I just really enjoy it I guess.

I even enjoy making the trip to the fish market and checking out the fresh offerings. I was always involved in the kitchen a lot as a kid because my mom was constantly cooking something or the other.

my mother in law even got me a pseudo gag gift for christmas: a black apron for with my name on it and it says "executive chef" under that.

Someone gave me 1000$ i still wouldnt eat it.

That is one of the greatest inventions ever to come out of Asia. I use waaaay too much when I eat Pho. Also sometimes for fried rice.
