    Yeah a buddy grows them over here in Aus . Bloody possums eat the fresh shoots for some reason
    and kills the plant . Another buddy grows Carolina reapers , holy crap that’s the hottest one I’ve
    ever had ! The possums won’t touch the reapers though , they are deadly hot .
     
    I bitch out when it comes to that crazy shit . My brother loved that shit . He would search hi and low for the latest and greatest hot sauce too . There's a little shop in Peddler's Village in Bucks County Pa. that seems to specialize in hot sauce . I was in there one time and asked for their latest and greatest for my brother . Some Bozo overhears and starts braggin how he can handle anything . They offered him a sample but insisted he sign a waiver . They put that shit on a toothpick and gave it to him . Welp douche nozzle gets it in his ballwasher and is still talkin shit when all of a sudden the tears start . They were followed by snot and Mr. Hardass losing the ability to talk . Effin priceless .

    Sounds like somebody I worked with about 20 years ago. He claimed there was no hot sauce too hot for him to eat. Well, someone brought in a sauce made from capsicum extract. Not only was it too hot for him to eat, but he didn't wash his hands, got some in an eye and in another "sensitive" body part. He was in such misery that he left work early.

    That happened to me the first time I got Habaneros. Didnt wash hands and took a piss...BIG mistake.

    A store near me sells Blazers Habenaro/Ghost pepper Jack Cheese. Man is that target! A five pound block lasts the wife and I two to three weeks.

    Previous post should say tasty rather than target, and I can't find edit option on my phone.

    Guy I know hybridized those suckers with scorpions and some other crap. I got suckered into trying one. (Was told it was a “candy pepper”: about 2” long and BRIGHT red. Shoulda known better).

    Never. Again.
     
    ive tried Carolina reaper hot sauce once...once.

    was called "ultimate death"....so naturally my dumb ass was like "yo you should try that" ......i put one drop on a chip.......fucking floored me.......felt worse than being pepper sprayed.

    i dont know who would want to do that for enjoyment.

    The Amish store here has cheeses with ghosts, scorpions and reapers.
    Super hot but still has a great flavor.
    Gave me the walking farts for two days.

    Enjoy those farts , who doesn’t enjoy a satisfying fart ? Same here , I’m addicted to using olive oil
    infused with a little Carolina reaper . Secret is to use a TINY amount of it , it has great flavour if used
    in moderation .

    One night, years ago, while still married to Wife #1, I made dinner for the two of us. One of the ingredients was grated jalapeño, which I grated with a cheese grater by hand.
    After dinner we climbed into bed for the evening’s festivities. I slipped a couple of fingers into her and saw her eyes get really wide.
    She then jumped up out of bed, cursing, and ran into the bathroom. I heard water running and she didn’t come out for about 20 minutes.
    That kind of ruined the mood.

    My wife grew some of those at her work a few years back. I used to take jalapenos and habaneros and slice up one for a pot of spaghetti. The idea being the pepper flavor comes out yet it's not so hot as a challenge to eat the spaghetti.

    Anyhow, I chopped a third of one into the pot to test it. It was damn near too hot! But, wow! was the flavor ever good!

    I prefer the extracts more. Nothing beats their heat if pure heat is your thing. The ones I usually get are in the 5,000,000-8,000,000 SU range. Perfect for late night ramen noodles!
     
    On another note, you guys are absolute sick fucking maniacs eating these evil painful things from Satan. I can tolerate franks red hot and Tabasco. Anything hotter than that and I am in a literal world of hurt

    I can't take very hot at all...thus the third of a pepper in a pot of spaghetti.:oops:
     
    When I was in Trinidad I tried the local brand of hot sauce made from the scorpion pepper, pretty much the same as a reaper.
    It's made by Berties and called chilli pimento, if you like spicy but not over the top it has great flavor and won't leave you wishing you had gotten your ass kicked instead of eating it.

    The chili patty in Singlewhore is pretty good to but not over the top.

    Another great sauce is 'Melinda's Red Savina' with Habanero peppers. Hot but a great flavor.

    I've been making my own hotsauce for years now. I've taken to growing my own peppers, and perfecting the recipe as well as the process. The last batch I made, I fermented the peppers for a year.

    That being said, I've grown some reapers, jholakia's, and some ghosts, but haven't 'taken the bite' yet. It'll happen, but things gotta settle down here, some.

    Reaper can be very good in moderation. Some of the concentrates are brutal. PureCap - try that. You have to sign a waiver to buy it... Or maybe Grinder's Death Nectar. << The bottle art alone makes it worth having, but I can do without the flavor. Fresh ghost peppers are excellent, again in moderation.
     
    I ate a bit too much yesterday and dealt with that this am. SURPRISE!
    All that shit goes thru virtually zero metabolism and feels exactly the same in the poop chute. It’s like eating plastic
     
    I can't believe you guys haven't learned the secret to eating hot foods.

    It's ice cream. After you eat...

    Then while you're taking a shit and get done, you just say "come on ice cream".
    The ice cream cools everything down.

    For sure I know the prevention & recovery tricks. If you don't have ice cream, you can put a little milk on a piece on bread then let it sit against the burning tissue. The milk fat is the key - it's good at drawing Capsaicin out of skin. Or you can just overdo it a few hundred times and cauterize the whole path. Problem solved!

    Yep, milk, youghurt, ice cream all help.

    I cant imagine that too much of that amt of heat wouldnt damage the linings of your stomach.
     
    I really have no interest in overloading my taste receptors and triggering overall system stress. To me, it all just looks like a gustatory approach to abject masochistic self abuse. I consider masochists to be individuals who deliberately choose to inflict pain on themselves. The ingestion of insanely hot, painfully spicy food fits closely with such a view.

    It's no coincidence that the active ingredient is the key component of a deterrent device intended to induce unbearable pain.

    You have the right, there are folks making a healthy sized income facilitating the process, and all this reminds me that just because a thing is possible, that doesn't make it even close to being a good idea.

    I just have to shake my head and in some small way, pity the willing participants.

    What I do not like is how the mainstream fast food merchants have populated their menus with foods I simply must conclude are inedible, for me. Couple this with packs of babbling air headed ditsy teenagers behind the counter completely screwing up even emphatically specific orders, and I'm ready to start boycotting fast food generically.

    For the record, the spice trade treated pepper as a means to mask the unpalatability of spoiling meat. I think that these days, it plays a similar role in popular cuisine, masking the inadequacies of otherwise mediocre foodstuffs. It's getting so that there's really not a lot else left on the menu for folks like me in popular cuisine. It's a fad and it's a pain in the butt; especially, literally, for many of its practitioners.

    I am in a special category. My Agent Orange induced Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma was treated with radiation, which wasn't supposed to, but still did, heavily irradiate my upper digestive tract. I can just about handle Wendy's Chili, unaugmented with their customary packet of hot sauce. Friends keep urging me to try their 'very mild' homemade chili, which is everywhere here in the Southwest. I am at the point where I am no longer willing to 'be polite' and give it a tiny taste. It usually results in about a half hour of unnecessary pain and discomfort for me, and basically destroys my appetite for that meal period.

    One hopes this self tormenting fad will pass soon. There's just too much overflow involving uninterested, unsuspecting, unwilling nonparticipants.

    Rant over...

    I got to where I could eat the Habeneros. Those were hot enough, any hotter and you really don't get any flavor from the pepper. Even with Habs, you gotta go easy, mix it well. Make sure to remove all the seeds!

    If you get into hot foods, and eat 'em regularly like when I was cooking from this Mexican cookbook all the time, you build a tolerance and a desire for more heat. I like DRY Chipotles myself, but I use 'em different, I slow cook 'em in beans then throw the pepper out after squeezing the black juice out. They are "hot enough" if you use several and they retain that rustic, hot smoky pepper taste too. Just awesome. I also put 'em in a coffee grinder and make crushed chipotle pepper.

    I could never wash it all off. I was always getting that shit in my eyes, nose, etc. Always. Got it on a certain part and figured out a fix but the ex had already eaten enough peppers that night and didn't want anymore.

    It does. Couple years in Singapore eating nothing but Thai, Indian ana Szechuan has left my stomach unable to take any chilis....even when it doesn’t taste spicy. Hope it grows back soon!

    I dont know if its the same problem but I burned a holle in my stomach with Aleeve. Went on some stuff that stops manufacture of digestive juices to let it heal, that stuff plugs you up bad and I had to quit it. Finally a buddy turned me onto keifer. Being a milk culture it soothes your stomach and its full or probiotics which make good gut bacteria. It tastes kind of like buttermilk, a bit sharper, but not as thick and mixes well with fruit juice, or you can get it already flavored.I prefer to mix my own and use maple syrup or a little honey with the juice...the flavored is full of white sugar which is poison. Wal Mart has the best prices. YOu might want to try a cup or so twice a day for a month and see if it lets the stomach heal.

    Thanks Maggot. I’ve found cottage cheese and konbucha for breakfast have helped me in a big way. Too many years of ibuprofen for knees and a shoulder that are beyond useful life I think we’re the initial culprit so I can relate to your aleeve issues

    Believe it or not, no matter how hot peppers are, they DO NOT cause heartburn or stomach problems such as ulcers. They can however worsen them if you already had them to begin with. So while you mouth and stomach may feel like they're on fire and being damaged, it's just your taste buds that are crying for it to stop. :D As far as quick fixes goes for putting out the fire, just remember not to eat or drink anything containing sugar because that will make it worse because the sugar opens up the taste receptors on the tongue like a flower and allows the pepper oil to seep in more. And I think it goes without saying since water and oil don't mix, water aint gonna do shit to help you. Personally, I just wait it out. My body has been conditioned all through my life to handle spice. I've eaten peppers as weak as jalapenos all the way up to rather potent extracts and while some of the more hotter shit has been rather unpleasant, I never once experienced spice that was totally unbearable.
