Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

Sriracha sauce is, to me, not very hot anymore.
On my daily lunch noodle bowl, I use about 7 fresh Thai/Cayenne
peppers. When I first started them, 2 peppers was darn near intolerable!

So "hot" tolerance is like exercise or booze... the more you do the
more you can handle, LOL!
 
Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

I put down #4 hot sauces. I don't like it so hot I can't taste the dish. Some of the best stuff I have tried is the fruity hot stuff, like jerk sauce or seasoning. It has the good balance of flavor and taste that makes it great.

I remember making chili for my friends (my first specialty dish) that was completely from scratch and had a great kick to it. We would have drips of sweat coming off our foreheads, but they kept coming back for more. To me that was the perfect balance.
 
Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

I checked the very hot, as I like that as a rule. I'll never turn down the insanely hot stuff, but I enjoy very hot stuff regularly, insane hot is something you try and say whoa ... Harder for me to enjoy it if it's that hot. Insane hot stuff also makes me pay a little more now that I'm older. When I was younger I could eat any of it with no side effects. Not any more. Darnit.
 
Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

I checked "Furnace keeper in hell", and I do regularly go for the insanely hot stuff (I think I'm addicted to the endorphin rush), but I guess I would have to agree with Doc. With each year that passes, the reprecussions get a little harder to take, so maybe I'm somewhere in between very hot and insane.

That first thing in the morning "firehole"....yeooow!!:lol:
 
Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

I like it hot! Very hot in some cases. But not hot for heat's sake....it needs to have flavor as well.

This is unreal. When I got up this morning I was thinking about Polls here. I was thinking a good poll would be "Do you like it hot". And look at this! I'm psychic today.....gotta go pick some lottery numbers now! :yum:

I was trying to think of a poll and looked over at my coffee cup and right behind it was my office bottle of hot sauce. So it was seen, so shall it be done.

BTW Keltin, or anyone else for that matter, if you have an idea for a poll, just send me a pm and I will work it in. I will never turn down any help.
 
Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

I was thinking……heat is also relative. DW can't do spicy, and thinks Frank's Hot Sauce is blazing hot. I consider Frank's to be mild, but very flavorful.

Bam sent me a batch of his hot sauce, and that was very hot.

The hottest thing I ever ate was by accident. I had some Kung Pao shrimp from a local place once. Very good, with a nice kick. I saw this little black thing in the sauce and thought it was a mushroom (about as long as a quarter), so I ate it. Ouch, it was a pepper……hottest little pepper I ever ate. It was actually hard to breathe for a few seconds. Seriously. I found out later you aren't supposed to eat those peppers (went back and asked them); they are there just to flavor the sauce. Now they tell me. :yum:

I'm pretty sure the pepper was a Bird's Eye or a Thai pepper, and definitely on the hot end of the scale. It was worse than an habanero (well…..just as bad). Fiery little beast!
 
Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

I voted "very hot" but compared to other peoples tastes it may be considered "insanely hot". The only reason I didn't vote "insanely hot" was because I have had "insanely hot" before and it's not fun. Most recently was some brownish/purple pepper that was in a bag of mixed peppers from a friends garden. That biatch was HOT! Probobly the hottest thing I ever ate....and not by a little margin either. My throat was actually closing up. Sometimes I want some insane heat so I reach for my bottle of Pain.

Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

I like the Ass kicking Hot Sauce line. The original isn't bad. Just the right amount of heat to flavor. Very tasty. I'm wanting to try their Ass Blaster sauce. All the reviews say it's dangerous! :yum:

One thing I liked about the Ass Kickin Original was the instructions on how to use it for wings. It said to slather it on while cooking and then serve a bowl for dipping at the table.....cause some people just need a little extra Ass Kickin. :lol:

Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

A son of a friend of mine posted some videos on Facebook of his friends eating a
habanero pepper.... just the sort of thing 17 year old boys would do!
Three of the boys had the expected results.. but one young man just got a somewhat blissful look on his face as he chewed... so easy to see the endorphins kick in.
From what he said, just after the video ended, the pain kicked in, LOL!

Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

Cayenne peppers...I'm not a fan. The only heat they give off is on the tip of your tongue and I don't find they have much flavor compared to the burn. Habs have a nice citrusy flavor and a deep, in the back of your throat burn, you can't mistake their flavor for sure.

than you would probably like the Biker Bitch Hot & Wild

I am thinking of ordering some of them.

I picked up a couple bottles of hot sauce from Kings Dominion. one was green and one was red. they were named after 2 of the rides - the dominator and i can't remember the other. they were pretty good but not very hot.
 
Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

"Not spicey at all". Grew up, pretty much, eating mostly bland Eastern European cuisine.

All those hot sauces listed are nothing next to Dave's Insanity sauce. I keep a couple of bottles on hand for smart ass guest who tell me they like hot food. Now my wife actually uses the stuff on her eggs which even I can't handle though most everything else is fine with me. I've had grown pepper eater have tears come to their eyes from this stuff.

That stuff is crazy. Made from capsaicin extract. Hot indeed, but no flavor. That is being hot for hot's sake. :w00t:

The craziest I've ever seen are the ones by Blair. He even has a pure capsaicin extract claiming to be 16 Million scoville units. It's "Blair's 16 Million Reserve" goes for $400 a bottle.

Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

I usually like the hot sauces and peppers, but had to put medium as that is about as far as I can go these days.
The hottest thing I ever tried to eat was green Thai curry, wow!:shock:

Like Keltin, I have had the Kung Pao Shrimp, but knew better than to eat the little black peppers in there!:tongue:
 
Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

Mild.

I like Frank's hot sauce and Tabasco. As much for the vinegar as for the heat, I think.

Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

I love heat...but I like natural heat...and the important part to me is to be able to keep tasting your food.

Heat to me, is scotch bonnets/habaneros. Yet they have to be done tastefully. Caribbean food is one of my loves, especially good...true..authentic Jamaican Jerk seasons...such as Walkers Wood or Graces.

I've entered, and I've won...quite a few hot pepper eating contests. My most recent victory was quite brutal...it came down to a tie between myself and one other guy. The tie breaker was...he and I were each given a plate of scotch bonnet peppers..and whoever could eat the most was the winner. Our mouths and stomachs were already in pain from eating all the peppers of the primary contest (plates of peppers increasing in heat level were brought out 1 by 1) . He stopped at the 3rd scotch bonnet, I was on my 5th when he threw in the towel.

Let me tell you, for serious chile heads...those who enter hot pepper eating contests...people will joke about the "red eye" the next morning (referring to your...butt). It's not that. The real pain is..when you take your first morning pee the next morning. And the next several pees til you flush out your system. It's like someone dragged 25 feet of barbed wire through your urethra..and then poured gasoline down it and lit it on fire.

I have a sick little part of me, when I'm hosting a big cookout..and the subject of hot food comes out..and someone goes out saying "Oh I love hot foods..the hotter...the better..yeah, gimme your hottest sauce!" Knowing what's "hot" to me..and what's "hot to most people"...I'll go retrieve one of my uber hot sauces...and show them was hot is really about. A couple of summers ago I was the cook for a big beach house party over in Rhode Island. There was this "loud" guy that got on my nerves..so loud and obnoxious. I had brought all my supplies for making some of my tropical crab cakes (Lefty knows about these! :mrgreen: ) Anyways, he saw my collection of hot sauces which I was using for the cakes and several of the different dipping sauces I was making...and he started going off bragging about how he loved hot sauces..."Yeah..make mine super hot...lets see what you got" he yelled at me. I had a bottle of my hottest stuff with me...and I put on an evil grin, poured a few drops of it in a spoon..and walked over to him, giving him the spoon. He had to pony up, since he was bragging in front of a crowd, and he downed the contents of the spoon in front of everyone. I counted to 10...and started giggling like Jim Carey in the greasy burger joint scene of Dumb and Dumber....and OMG were we all rewarded with the most comical show. His face went up like crazy, and the screams and moans and groans...he went down on the couch for a while..and then outside for a while..probably puking off of the porch.

Anyways, my love of heat....layered flavors of heat, that takes you right up to your limits and a hair over...but not the kind of 1.9 million scoville units scale heat that coats your tongue with nothing but the pepper oil so that you can't taste anything you're eating. There's just no point to that IMO, unless you're being evil against someone. :mrgreen:
 
Re: Hot (spicey) foods (Poll)

i'm somewhere between hot and very hot. tabasco and franks are mild to me, more vinegary, and sriracha is a nice medium-hot sauce as well.

i like a lot of pickled and fresh hot peppers with my salads, on sandwiches, and in entrees. hot banana peppers, cherry peppers, and pepperoncinos are my faves.

i'm still looking for a good pork chop and vinegar pepper recipe. haven't made a good one at home in a while.

whenever i get thai food, i always ask for both their fresh hot sauce as well as dried thai bird chili flakes. i like the flavour of both on my noodles or in stir frys.

i'd like to try growing some of those tiny indian peppers that'll blow your head off. also, i'm looking for ghost pepper seeds, and red savinas.

hot mustards are another thing i'm into, coleman's english being the best. the chinese have some good ones too. i can't eat that french's yellow crap, it's gotta at least be gulden's spicy brown.

did you know that the pain you feel from hot food is from calcium ions entering trap doors on your mouth's nerve cells?

I grew some Bhut Jolokia chili peppers a couple of years ago but way to hot for even my wife though they tasted great once cooked into foods. Raw impossible for most to eat and twice as hot as scotch bonnet/habanero. Worlds hottest pepper by far.
 
Yeah, there are some YouTube videos of people eating those Bhut Jolokia Ghost Peppers... or tiny pieces of them anyway.

One poor guy looks like he is gonna die, 5 hours later!

Saw those. I just can't fathom a reason to subject myself to that kind of pain. Marriage is bad enough!!!
