I guess I'll have to join the club...

And Moni, I was just about to mention Habaneros and then saw your reply... I used to make a homemade hotsauce for chicken wings with them at the rest I used to work in and one day I was stuck bartending and working as the cook... Was chopping one up and went out, poured a couple drinks and then rubbed my eyes to get something out of them... YEEEEEOOOOOWWWWTCHHHH! I was blind for about ten minutes, even after running water over my eyes. They're actually rated 1000 times higher than jabaneros on the spice rating charts...

OUCH!
The day I took the seeds from the one I dried out I touched the filter of a cigarette and burned my tongue when I licked my lips after lighting it. I felt the heat on my lips too. HOT STUFF! :D

I'm gonna have to try those now. They sound so.... GOOD :D

I love hot foods but wont eat a habanero unless maybe its diced into a large pot of chili lol. I ate one a last month. I thought it was something else since it was orange yet. Big mistake! I played a prank on my best buddy a few years ago. He was extremely errr intoxocated and I asked him if he wanted a cherry tomato. It was actually a habanero [img]tongue.gif[/img] He spent the next 15 minutes with hid mouth under the faucet letting it run through his mouth. I cant remember how he got even but he did of course! Always a battle of pranks amongst my buddies :D

LoA,
That was downright cruel!!! Esp letting him run water through his mouth! Water does NADA for the heat...you need to cool your mouth down, use dairy products...milk or cheese...if you want to test it, you don't have to burn your mouth first, just melt some cheese onto half a flour tortilla and put hot sauce over the whole thing...a bite of the melted cheese side=tolerably and tastefully spicy, a bite of the cheese-free side=HOT! Now take another bite ofthe cheese side to cool your mouth back down. ;)

Take notes because there is a test on Friday. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And don't ever do that again! esp to a drunk!

EDIT:Oh yeah, for you hot sauce lovers...I get to bring home some tiny (pea-size) hotter than habenero pepper plants tomorrow [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I forget what they are called though and don't know WHAT I'll do with them, other than admire the pretty white blossoms maybe LOL.

Por little Moni you should stop that smoking then lol because it can be really hot sometimes if you do that every time lol [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LMAO Megabot! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'll stop smoking if you do! ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Actually, running water doesn't do nada... It actually intensifies the burn...

Although actually I love habaneros... There are two places here that serve really good wings and they both use habanero sauces as their hottest... I devour them, but the first time I got them they were still in the plastic bag, tied all tight, and my mother was about 15 feet away and her eyes were watering...

Erp, yeah! Correct wording should have been water does NADA for killing the heat. Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Your poor mom LOL!
