That One Chip Challenge wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It got really hot around the 1-2 minute mark, then EXTREMELY hot around the 5 minute mark.  Once it started to die down (about 10-15 minutes in), it died pretty rapidly.  I farted like an old grandpa all evening long, and woke at 5am to the first call to the porcelain throne.  The exit wasn't any worse than a normal night of hot wings or spicy mexican food, so I got lucky there, but... OH. MY. GOD.  The cramps!!!!!  All day Sunday I was just miserable. Started to feel better later afternoon/early evening, but as soon as I attempted to eat dinner, cramp aftershock!!!  I've only ever had cramps that bad 2 other times in my life.  One was from eating wings made with pepper spray, the other was food poisoning.  All of that from one friggin dorito.

Wow.  I likely would have chomped that shit down prior to reading this.  I know you have an iron stomach for hot sauce. 

Hell, I would still eat one.

Holy shit. I’m scared. This may be a bad idea!

I did the first One Chip Challenge when it came out 2 years ago.  It wasn't too bad.  After the 5 minutes, I took a shot of whiskey...like a fn boss!  Haha!  It would come back in waves after that.  Just as I thought it was over...another wave.
No cramps, but stomach was a little gurgley.  The "exit" wasn't bad either.
I ordered this year's version.  Haven't done it yet.  My heat tolerance has gone way down of late, so I think this year's will be tougher.

Also, I ordered 10 of these chips, like last time.  I ended up giving a couple to some friends and sold the rest.  Sold the rest for about $30/chip.
I'll give one to anyone on here for free.  Only thing you have to do is post a video of the challenge.

Where can I do said "one chip challenge"?

The key to this is to have something in your stomach if you're eating stupid hot.  If you don't you will be percolating for a while down there.

I missed the first round, but I believe the consensus is this one is hotter. It does take a couple minutes to get to its peak, and then it kinda just stays there for a bit. Once it starts to subside it goes quickly. My lips burned longer than anything.  It's an extremely dry chip. Takes a minute to chew & get it all down.
My buddy that did the challenge with me said he didn't really get any cramps, but on the flip side he said he shit molten lava. So you know results may vary, lol.

I was never in any panic nor at any time did I feel like it was going to get out of hand.  That said, always proceed with caution. I only know my tolerance level and we all react to different peppers in different ways.  I recommend a glove on at least one hand to hold the chip. Watch dropping crumbs around pets or kids.  I'd give it a 6.5/7 out of 10.  Don't go down on your girl that night.

Sage advice!

If she went down on you would she get a taste of it, I wonder?

If it was the only thing you ate, it might be potent enough.

Made a chicken korma for the first time tonight. It was okay, it didn't suck and it didn't blow me away. I was kind of disappointed as I thought it would be like the one I ate from a restaurant earlier this week. I hope it will taste better tomorrow. I had a smell of the leftovers for the next two nights once it was sitting in the saucepan for a while after I ate it and it smelt more intense. The recipe says 6 cloves, I found that too strong and accidentally ate one which was yuck.

F Me In The Brain

It looks good.
First try I usually don't expect things (at least anything complex) to taste restaurant quality.  Nice when it works out but of course there is always next time.
I usually put 50% more garlic than suggested.  I love it!

Thoughts_Arrive

Thank you.
I am pretty sure I tasted more cumin in my restaurant korma.
Might add more garam masala spice mix next time if tomorrow's left overs do not taste better.

How can Greek Yoghurt with a 42% saturated fat content be labelled with a 3/5 star health rating? 
Tastes so good but.

Sometimes straining a light or non-fat Greek works in place of the kind higher in fat.

I try to have it every day with fresh fruit.  It doesn't taste or feel like 2% fat at all.

yeah there's a low fat version.
I usually eat no fat but have a tub of Greek leftover which I used for my chicken korma. Need to eat it within 3 days or it goes off.
