Hos can you eat habaneros plain? When its slow at work, we see who can handle them the best. Our new second in command of the store boss (Mark A.) ate one and it was like he chewed a cookie while the rest of us twenty year olds are tearing up running to dairy to get milk

When I was going to school in Tucson, there was a joint named DJ's. they had great wings and pizza and beer. I can handle some seriously hot food, but the best I was ever able to do at DJ's was finish 1 single suicide wing. I tried two different times and both times I was left licking the bowl of ranch dry, drinking any and all beers in site and sweating like a stuck pig. Too bad they got shut down, I miss that place.

I was working in Memphis one time and after work I stopped by this little joint to pick up some food and have a beer or two (maybe three...who knows)...anyway, before I left I ordered 1 doz wings. The girl asked did I want mild, medium, hot, or extra-hot?

Because I can eat hot most anything...I like it so hot that I have to pee in the river so I don't set the forest on fire!

I ordered the extra-hot! One wing, the part of another...and I was done! On freaking fire! What a waste of about 12 dollars! Damn tongue burned for a good 45 minutes!

I was inspired to start this thread by some current thread in the Political Zone.
It's about hot sauce encounters/mistakes we have made.
I'll share mine.
Back in 1998,I moved to Grand Rapids,MI.
I worked close to a place called "Dallas Texas BBQ" on Byron Center St.
They sold good stuff there,it was a hole in the wall kinda place,really small,but the pulled pork sandwich and their chili were really good.
One day,I stopped by get some chili during my lunch hour.
It was really cold so I figured out some hot chili would warm me up good.
I bought the chili and decided to up the ante by putting some Dave's Insanity Gourmet sauce in it.
As I was applying the sauce to my chili,the lady at the check out told me,"I hope you know what you are doing"...as I looked at the posters for said sauce claiming that their product could strip waxed floors and degrease your driveway.
That lady was right.I did not know what I was in for.
I swear it felt like a grenade went off in my mouth.
That first bite of magma set my internal fire alarm off made the water cooler 3 feet away seem like a marathon.
This stuff is not for human consumption,this was a weapon of revenge.
I tried everything at my avail,ice cubes,milk....no dice.
This was a judgement on bad judgement.
After a couple of hours my taste buds recovered from that nuclear blast I have laid upon them as if they were my worst enemy.
It was painful.
Later on I studied hot sauces and discovered my experience was a mere encounter with a light weight.
Not tabasco,but Tabasco on steroids.
Look up the strongest sauces out there,Learn about the 3am,5am,The Source...serious stuff.

I used to love Dave's Insanity when I was in college. I'd put two or three drops in a bowl of just about anything. Spaghettios, wing sauce, soups, chilis, etc.

I've had run-ins with far worse stuff....some black widow stuff, IIRC. Two of my rugby buddies and one of my old punk rock buddies decided to have a "man-off" to see who could endure the pain of a cap full of this stuff...without anything to dilute it, of course. I watched these maroons for 20 minutes as they each tried in vain to ease the pain or take their mind off of the current cluster**** they had gotten themselves into.

I've never seen human torsos expand and contract like that in my life. I swore they were going to break every rib in their bodies, and tear their diaphragms from their linings. It was awful. Human dry-heaves X 1000.

Yes, but I like their flavor better cooked.

I know you didn't address the question to me but i had told this story in another thread and it seems appropriate here. I'm piecing together a couple of separate posts, stay with me.

About ten years ago a friend of mine had bought lots of habaneros from a farmers market. We got this bright idea for a competition between us to see who would eat the most habaneros. We both ate about three each before he started to throw up. I didn't throw up, although i wish i had, but i had the worst pain in my stomach for a few days and i could barely eat anything else for a day and a half. The stupid things you do when you're young......... Good times........................... I don't recommend it to anyone.

Someone asked me the following question, which i forgot to address..

"doesn't that make your *** burn when you poo?"

To which I replied...

You better believe it. Like someone had taken a torch to your behind. I can't believe i left that out from the story. I had to wet my toilet paper with cold water just to get some relief and not to further aggravate a very irritated area every time i had to go. :

I did that once when I was like 8. It wasn't THAT bad. I have a high tolerance for spicy food though. I think most Mexican people do, lol.

Frank's is my favorite Hot Sauce. It's not really hot or anything, but I just love the taste.

theres a brilliant store in fredericksburg just down from the christmas store that sells a variety of rubs and spices. up the back they have a room of hot sauces. all their produce have bowls in front of them with samples of the sauces and some chips to dip in them. me and the girlfriend were trying a few of the hot sauces when we found a table that had the hottest ones which came with warnings about if you have a heart condition. we had worked our way up to one called 80% pain when my girlfriend decided she had had enough but i tried another few and then tasted one which was called blowtorch or rectal rocket fuel or something like that. was the hottest thing i've ever had in my life, and wasn't helped by the fact that i was then dragged round the christmas store (bear in mind this was in september)
