Man vs Food and the Habanero pepper

hrd2imgn · November 2009

Saw an episode of Man V Food where he takes this habanero Fritter challenge, he was talking about comparative hotnesses, and how pure chili pepper extract it the hottest shit on earth pretty much

so I went to the local grocery and got some habanero sauce, cooked up some tacos, put about a teaspoon in the mix, maybe a cup and a half of meat, and then sprinkled a few drop on top of each taco.....HOLY CRAP!!!!

I started sweating on my face immediately, then my mouth proceeded to burn for about 10 minutes while I continued to sweat and oh my nose ran..(good if you are stuffy I suppose) glad I took it slow the first time and did not go all out. I cannot imagine how hot those fritter he ate were as they were 100 times worse than what I tried,

I didn't find it really tasty either, more of just hot for hot sake.

so what food or doom incidents have you had?

One time I was making a wrap skillet thing... My mom bought a habanero instead of a jalapeno... Burned my hands, tongue, eyes, and hip (scratched my side after cutting the pepper w/o gloves).

Oh my if that stuff got in your eyes that must have stung like acid! Just taking a whiff of it made my senses go nuts

check out the one where he has to eat the wings with the sauce that has like 4 or 5 habanero peppers in it. he has to eat 12 wings in 10 minutes then lick the sauce off his fingers and once he does that sit there without wiping his hands or face for 5 minutes. he was struggling big time.

i like hot food quite a bit and enjoy a small amount of habanero in a lot of things.

Habaneros can be really good if used right.

Just be very careful in how you cut them up. No amount of soap will get the heat off.
Keep that in mind if you have a girlfriend

or when in the shower

!

I suggest using latex gloves.

IF you get hot stuff on your fingers, dip them in vinegar. It works!

I like the habenero challenges he does. The Ghost Pepper though makes a habenero look like a cute little green pepper.

He has done a couple challenges with ghost pepper's too it is funny to watch them light him up

I love using Habeneros, especially in my hot wing sauce. They give a great subtle heat after you eat the wing, which stays with you.... great stuff.

I have too many spicy stories to tell in a single post! I am an absolute sucker for hot sauce & spicy food.

A word of advice: never eat a raw habanero. The end with the seeds is RIDICULOUSLY HOT! Believe me, you'll feel the heat on both ends.

:thumbup:
absolutely!
we grow our own, and they seem even more potent when fresh from the garden. :shock:

mr. dream makes his own awesome tomato sauce, and one year he added ah habanero to it, was delish. so next time he was making sauce, and for dinner guests no less....he figured, of one was good...two would be better. :wtf: needless to say, it was inedible.

moderation in all things, but most especially habaneros.

love, love, love spicy foods!

we grow just about every variety of spicy pepper out there, and HELL YES...they are WAY hotter fresh from the garden, even the jalapeno, than what you are accustomed to from the store, jarred, or from a restaurant.

habaneros are no playthings....tread lightly my friend. they are awesome in your food, but in the bedroom? errrrr....not so much. :shock:

Growing up my family had a huuuuuuge garden and like you, we'd grow pretty much any pepper we could find seeds for.
Good stuff!!
Oh, and you're right. A fresh pepper off the plant is def. hotter than those you can get at the store. Better flavor too!

Every year around Christmas I make my homemade pickled jalapenos. They are sooooo freakin' good! They'll bite you in the ass, but you can't stop eating them!

Mmmmm!

Speaking of habaneros. Have you guys tried Tabasco's Habanero sauce? Man, that's good stuff. Soooo tasty!

Agreed.

Past experience...

Lots of habanero pepper sauce on pizza. Bedroom stuff later. One "hot" girlfriend.

But not "hot" in a good way...or so I was told!

it is just pure heat if too much is there, makes you sweat instantly, and the after effects last a long long time

I use Habaneros constantly in recipes for grilling and things and love hot food.

Last evening the lady and I were at Whole Foods and decided it would be a good idea to find the two biggest habaneros possible and eat them whole when we got home. My fucking god that was brutal. I ate it in about 3 bites and fuck me it was hot.

Now I just have to find a ghost pepper. I am pretty sure eating one of those will make me hallucinate.

BinFrog · November 2011

I have multiple awesome spicy food stories. If I have time I will type a few of them up.

Ha, thats awesome. I am going to have to get in touch with him. I have been talking about growing peppers for a while now. Next summer for sure.

I don't think my stomach is going to be right for a week though.

Haha, yeah, man. We're idiots. God knows how we found each other.

BinFrog · November 2011

Unfortunately habaneros now wreak havoc on my system so I can only eat them sparingly. The spice is the least of my concerns when I eat them.
