    The wifey and I are addicted to the spice. We challenge chefs to make things hot enough they don't think we can eat it. Thai spice is heavenly. Does anyone body else push through the burn until you are almost giddy and hallucinating... almost. We have sat in a restaurant howling with laughter over nothing really while sweat poured from our faces. Too much fun.

    Until the next morning anyway... :oops:

    Been there, yup. The vast majority of people will never "get" it. It's all good. I love a good spice "tunnel vision coma". I bowled the best game of my life while eating wings I had to sign a waiver for. I had such tunnel vision that I blocked out everything else and the pins became a matter of life and death.

    The "next day double burn" has apparently shifter with age and is now the "3am double burn", so I have to be careful when I eat really spicy stuff...habaneros especially.

    Love me some spicy food. I had some Pad Thai at a festival here in SLC over the weekend and it was delicious. Bring on the heat!

    My husband is from Indian subcontinent, I'm from Texas - we like the hot food definitely. A good meal includes a dish of raw serrano chilis to bite while you eat your other food and we throw serranos in just about everything we cook. His opinion though, is that food from his place is just food, not 'spicy food'!

    Does anyone like jalapeno-garlic grits? They are awesome! Just saute a bunch of garlic in oil, throw in a bunch of chopped jalapeno, black pepper, mix in the cooked grits in the saute pan and yum.

    I'm growing scorpion peppers this summer, we'll see how it goes. I'm trying to make a ton of different salsas for my family for the holidays.

    this idiotic woman can eat these ghost chillies and then she even rubs them on her eyes afterwards... she's become immune to them or something.

    still seems a pointless thing to do... that be like me gently stroking broccoli or richard gere sticking a gerbil up his a... ahhh you get the idea.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I love spicy stuff too! Anyone a fan of the Dave's Insanity Sauce line?

    I wanna try some of that. I read an article in a lads mag years ago where the writer attempted to work his way up the chain of ever hotter sauces. It was the first time I'd heard of Dave's Insanity sauce.

    The only ones I've tried are two bottles I bought in Florida a few years ago - 'Elvis' Burnin' Love hot sauce', and 'Elvis's 'Don't Be Cruel Hot Sauce'. They were hot, but not too hot. They both fit into the mild range of sauces on the website - http://www.hotsauceworld.com/hot-sauce---mild--.html

    i like spicy food but not when it's so spicy and hot the burn overtakes the flavors. like some good thai (pad kee mao) with just enough burn to be there but not take away all the actual taste is phenomenal!
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    Yeah. Back in the day (1994-1995ish) the Dave's Insanity Reserve was the hottest sauce you could buy. I believe it was something like 160 million scoville units. Now of course it has been blown out of the water. Still, Dave's Insanity is not a toy by any means.
