The world has a new hottest chili peppe (the 'Ghost Chili')r, it's about twice as hot as a habanero: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20058096/If you think you’ve had a hotter chili pepper, you’re wrong.  The smallest morsels can flavor a sauce so intensely it’s barely edible. Eating a raw sliver causes watering eyes and a runny nose. An entire chili is an all-out assault on the senses, akin to swigging a cocktail of battery acid and glass shards. But I'm sure you've had hotter. |

My band used to play that 'I can eat a hotter pepper' game. Fuck that shit. I built up a great tolerance for heat, but really, I prefer flavor. Franks Red Hot > Tabasco's almost flavorless heat.
I think the people who bred this pepper are terrorists!

Of course, I guess I could just use twice the habaneros.

I've never understood the fascination with hot food. To me it's some kind of chest beating bullshit to prove manliness or some shit. With this new one, you might as well just literally light your mouth on fire. It'll "taste" just as good.

The interesting thing is that when you eat something so hot that you cannot see straight, it's like looking into the eyesockets of God as your head floats free of your shoulders. Even better, half an hour later and you're unharmed. For me it's not at all about proving anything, since I am already totally awesome, but about the simple experience of the pain. It also makes your mouth totally sensitive and everything has a stronger taste.

Sort of, but it's more curiosity for me than anything. I mean, anyone could tell you the stove was hot when you were a kid, but some of us just had to touch it. |

For anyone who didn't read the article: The farmer, a quiet man with an easy smile, has spent a lifetime eating a chili pepper with a strange name and a vicious bite. His mother stirred them into sauces. His wife puts them out for dinner raw, blood-red morsels of pain to be nibbled — carefully, very carefully — with whatever she’s serving. And even better: “It is so hot you can’t even imagine,” said the farmer, Digonta Saikia, working in his fields in the midday sun, his face nearly invisible behind an enormous straw hat. “When you eat it, it’s like dying.”
Outsiders, he insisted, shouldn’t even try it. “If you eat one,” he told a visitor, “you will not be able to leave this place.” And this is coming from the guy who's been eating them his whole life. |

Do want.
I've never considered spicy food something bragable. It's just something I like. Too much is pointless, though - I ate a fresh, raw habenero once. I thought it tasted like a bar of soap. Since then I've only bothered with nose-running-but-flavorful West Indian sauces. And Chipotle. I've always loved smoked food.

It causes an endorphin release because your brain interprets the sensation as pain. I get a bit buzzed from spicy food. Yucateca Habanero Sauce is napalm hot but also has amazing flavor that burns its way down your esophagus.  Since peppers are fruits, they do have unique flavor all their own, you just have to smell them before you pop them in your mouth. |

I've had hot enough. My mom grows Thai chili peppers.. Everything except the hottest of the hottest peppers beats them. I can eat just about anything most people whine about.
I even used to get tortured with that stuff. My mom used to dry them out, and sometimes.... When I'd be chilling, watching TV, or even sleeping, my brother would just break and rub one of those dried peppers all over my face. I've pretty much disowned that guy for that kind of shit.

Why can't you leave? Because you don't want to because the peppers are so awesome? Because you die? Does some evil force prevent you from leaving?
Is this in any way related to Persephone eating the half pomegranite and having to live in Hades half the year?

I find that it can burn out my palate and mask the flavors of foods, unlike MSG which scrapes the taste buds nicely, opening them up for taste sensations!

Spicy foods tend to clear my nose and cleanse my palate and invite the awesome. I fucking love spicy foods. I need to find a Burmese joint in Phoenix.

And then a few hours later, the pain begins anew, yet on the opposite side of the body. That said, spicy food is teh roxxor. |

Burmese? Good luck! As far as Mexican food goes though, a lot of Arizona stuff is great methinks. That's probably blasphemy coming from a Texan, but what the hell. I'd rank it NM/AZ >Tex-Mex > Cali. Recipe and spiciness wise. |

I work with a Burmese couple. They make sushi where I work and when they feed me, I fix their computers for free. I'd be happy to get some recipes for you, if you like.

Yup, it's the preferred hot sauce for making spicy tuna rolls, at least around here.

Same. They also have a sweet chili sauce too which is excellent on salads. It retails for about $4.50 USD at my local Asian market. I also think they have one with garlic in it too. |
