\"The primary capsaicinoid, capsaicin, is so hot that a single drop diluted in 100,000 drops of water will produce a blistering of the tongue\"

Why? For the sake of everything living, why?!?

It reminds me of a bloke who had some long nights of study and work ahead of him, and slipped a milligram (I think) of pure caffeine into his drink. One week later he was still on a buzz.

I don\'t like the idea that it could kill you, but i do like the fact its the hottset thing (ever????) i\'d probable try like a 10th of a drop just to see what it was like, and to be able to say i\'ve tried it, but hey it would probably be the last thing i\'d taste anyway so i would have to enjoy it.

I have a story about hot stuff

It happened just this month actually.

i love spicy things, the hotter the better. I love sandwiches with Jalapenos and peperochinas on everything.

well, i thought i could handle a habeneuro. we got some at the store, and the yellow/orange one looked much more tastyer than the green ones did. so i got those

come home and leave them in the refrigerator for a couple days

they are now bright orange.

My favorite part of all pepers are the seeds so i figure id try out one of those.

i put the seed under my thumbnail, and then put it in my mouth. At first it dosent hurt at all...the BAM!!!!!! its like fire and acid searing your mouth! I was laughing cause i made a fool of myself, but crying cause it hurt! mom was laughing at me and went online to start looking up how to help me stop hurting. milk didnt help. ice didnt help, other food didnt help. nothing worked.

i was burning for hours. i burnt the skin under my thumbnail because of the juice from the seed

and the next day, i was buring but the other end :eek:

not a pleasent experiance, funny, but not fun. :p

Habeneuros are great! But definately DO NOT do the seeds. Used to use them to make salsa when I was still down in Tejas. They add a really nice flavor as well as heat, but you DO have to be careful handling them. Made a mistake once while cutting one up and, without thinking, used the back of my hand to wipe sweat off my forehead. Next thing I know, my forehead is on fire :flame: and the sweat washes it down into my eyes!!!:eek: Only took ten minutes or so of continual eye-flushing under the kitchen spigot to clear it up though ;) My forehead ended up looking like I had a severe sunburn. Was worth it though - GOOD salsa lol

I used to be a chef in a Mexican restaurant. My mate and I decided we were goning to create the hottest sauce we possibly could, but still give it a bit of taste. It was a meandering concoction, but the main ingredients were habaneros and smoked chipottles. Hot.

We used to watch the new guys suffer after handling jalapenos all day, then getting it on their tadger when they went for a leak! I saw more than one guy with their nob in the sink!!!

Then there was the guy who reprimanded us for not making his food hot enough. I taught him a lesson restaurant ettiquette:D

And finally the guy who asked for cheese on something that was already smothered in cheese and sour cream. He ended up making my friend (a waitress at the time) cry, he was so horrible.
I filled a 5 litre tub with cheese and nuked it. It melted down to about 1.5 litres of melted cheese. I poured the whole lot over his meal and sent it out. The party he was with howled. The waitress received a large tip.....

Oh, there was the time I gave Donga some of my ultra-hot sauce. Despite warnings he just had to prove how much of a man he was! Very funny watching him chugging milk to try to sort himself out!

A thai chilli is not much hotter than a serrano chilli. Yeah, right! I love to cook Thai food, you see, and pickled ginger and chilli are never spared. Unfortunately for her, one girl I fed had just had a new piercing done - through her lip. I was not popular. :innocent:

Been there, done that with the chilli on the nob thing. :eek: Never, never will serrano juice find its way near my pants again. I fell asleep wondering what damage I\'d done to myself.

spacemunkie- funny story, wish i was there at the time i love ironic punishment.

It all reminds of my ex girlfriend who once (for a laugh) drank half a bottle of tabasco sauce because we had friends round, really stupid idea, her eyes were bloodshot for about 3 days and she got through three, 2 litre bottles of milk within half an hour, then we ran out of milk lol.

@Becca - You could have spared us that last detail... kthx

@Spacemunkie & dauber - I never got hot pepper on my willie but I did accidentally get it in my eyes once... boy that was fun. I mistook a hot pepper for a sweet cubanelle and put it in salad... and didn\'t wash my hands after. I ran around the apt. screaming while my roomie laughed at me.

Incidentally, regarding Moderrhu\'s story, pure caffeine is quite toxic, that guy is lucky he looked up the MSDS before he did his little \"experiment\"! (lowest documented human lethal dose ~= 190 mg/kg). I think much, much lower doses will make you quite sick.

I used to run an endurance comp at a goff club down south, one of the final tasks that we devised was whole Habeneuros injected with the nastiest chilli oil that we could find mixed with Tuna brine to fill up the internal cavity.

A bloke called Mike won that night, I will never for get him. or the state he was in after doing three of them :D

thank god for disclaimer forms lol

@supervike: fantastic lol

Closest I ever came to the \"Chilis on the Willy\" experience was back many moons ago
:moon::moon::moon::moon::moon::moon::moon::moon::moon::moon:
when I was working in a fiberglass plant. While working on a piece I sloshed some resin on the old crotchoidal area. Soon as that stuff began to set... whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
Believe I started a new dance craze though.:D

Ya know...in a glance I misread the topic title as \"Japanese\" instead of \"Jalapenos\". Maybe I need more sleep.

There\'s a restaurant over here in the greater Seattle area that has one of those crazy hot sauces. You have to sign a waiver form and they put the tip of a toothpick of it on your tongue. My opinion is that if you can\'t taste because of it, it\'s too hot. ^_^

...and slightly off topic, a friend of mine gave me a really easy and tasty chili cheese dip recipe, if anyone\'s interested.

You guys are masochists....slow double burns?...whew, that stuff can kill you!lol

My mom is Indonesian, her family comes from the island Madura, east of Java. The local cuisine there is rather spicy. Not a good idea to eat food served by her aunts and uncles without asking about the degree of hotness first -- been there, done that...then done it again!:flame::flame::flame::duh:

I grew a bumper crop of hot peppers and tomatoes in my garden. Picked and chopped the peppers for salsa without gloves, Spent the next few weeks with sausage fingers and sleeping (hanging off the bed) with my hands in bowls of ice water. After all the swelling. the blistering and the peeling went away, I still can\'t get my wedding ring back on. That was over 20 years ago. Still can\'t wear metal on my fingers.:|~

@Finn: Just got a job doing art workshops with primary kiddies. Adolescence is a horrible thing. Glad to see the back of it:flip::bouncy:
