Blimey! I have just about got used to a Tikka Masala - how on earth can people eat that stuff?
But one chilli head who obtained an early sample dropped a single grain into a pan of tomato soup. After persuading his wife to try a spoonful, he reported that: "She threatened divorce once she could speak again.'' :nono: :D
Rammy will have that... He's a connoisseur in all things hot.

Currently I'm cultivating my own habanero plant which I hope to be able to make some chilli sauce from.

Rammy will have that... He's a connoisseur in all things hot.I'm not bluddy trying that......I'll stick with the 'Who dares burns-second assault' hot sauce, thank you very much!
Blaire is a complete nutcase.............but his 'Death Rain' crisps are fantastic :drool:
Have a nose around Chilefarm.co.uk (http://chilefarm.co.uk/) I get my hot sauces from there :tu:
I recommend Cholula (http://www.chilefarm.co.uk/cholula_hot_sauce.html)--very mild and tasty
Habanero Heaven (http://www.chilefarm.co.uk/habanero_heaven_hot_sauce.html)--quite hot but still very tasty
Who dares burns-second assault (http://www.chilefarm.co.uk/who_dares_burns_2nd_assault.html)--insanely hot.....burns your lips--and thats with just half a teaspoon mixed in well :disturbd: :D

has nobody stopped to ask... why? :shrug:I used to hate hot spicey food till I went to a dinner party in December and tried 'Who dares burns (original recipe)............I was hooked.........my mouth is watering atm, just thinking about the sauces.....I think it's addictive :shrug: :)

What a b**tard :D That only makes things worse.
By far the best chili experience I have seen is when my mother mistook my scoth bonnets for baby bell peppers and used 6 of them.
I know a member that would try that sort of thing
I shouldn't think you'd want it anywhere near your member. Talk about eye-watering.
I had tabasco on my pasta earlier - nicely warming, I can still taste it. Looking on that scale, I appear to be as a Reliant Robin to a Saturn Five rocket. Need to get some practice in.

A mate of mine got residue from Daves Insanity Sauce in his eye, he thought he was blinded for over an hour. That particular one is supposed to be 80,000 on that scale.. those other ones must be classified as weapons grade chemicals!!

Will have to check as it was a gift. I know that you need to look after them in a certain way to increase the heat.

Ouch, I once tried to put my contact lenses in after handling some chillis and that hurt a lot.
Can I ask why it is necessary to eat something that is so hot.I eat food for nutrition,to satisfy hunger and for enjoyment which would include a pleasant flavour.How can burning out your taste buds so you cannot taste anything be a pleasure.
I make a lot of curries and I like to mix and use different spices when making these curries.If I add too much chillies then it becomes inedible...What's the point? :shrug:

Answer A: It's just a p***ing contest :)
Answer B: After a while you become used to the heat and you start to notice the subtle flavours of the foods you are eating so you actually get to enjoy a much wider range of dishes. Also, I think hot foods are supposed to be quite healthy and they cool you down and keep the mosquitos off :D

I agree with you coggy, I mean fancy wanting to eat something that could kill you. Or is it a masculine thing:dozey:
Can I ask why it is necessary to eat something that is so hot.
I live with a woman who can't eat anything with even black pepper on it without going bright red and coughing, plus a baby for whom it would be a bit cruel to start him on vindaloo (besides...I do the nappies... :shocked: ).
I eat bland food 95% of the time. When I get the chance to grab something with a bit of bite to it, I take all I can get (hence putting tabasco on my boring pasta with tomato sauce). It's kebab night tonight, and I'll have a double helping of chilli sauce, please!
I like my food spicy(my heartburn hates it) but still can't see the need to burn out the pain receptors in my tongue though. :erm: As for getting used to it I've been eating curry all my life and never found it possible to get used to it being too hot. :)
I think it is a machismo thing myself. :p:

I unfortunatly come from the same camp as you..
I do beleive it is addictive though, I have actually been known to drink a bottle of tobasco sauce for a dare, i dont advise anyoine tries this as it really doesnt sit well in your stomach.
The hottest I will go is 'daves insanity sauce' I first found this down at the chill festival we have down here every year...

How long do they usually take to deliver? I order last thursday evening (so technically the order went through on friday), nearly a week ago now and I've not recieved anything. Should I be hassling them or is this normal?

I once threw up 10 minutes after eating three spoons of Tom Yam Gung in a Bangkok restaurant. Nothing to do with it being off, I just couldn't keep it in my stomach as it was so spicy. :disturbd:
(I like spicy food though, in moderation)
I have trouble with Kromas so I think I will give this a miss
Yesterday I bought a jar of hot chillies, blended them up with a tube of tomato purÃÃâ€*’©e, added balsamic vinegar, salt and sugar...........instant chilli sauce........yum! :)

I'm not sure whether I'm going to use it yet or just have it as a collectors item. I do have a good recipe in mind for some Flaming Zombie Fajitas, will have to get a pipette to use the stuff though :)

Sorry, but for a minute I thought you said Kronas. I was going to say "what trouble are you having with him?" :D
Do you mean "Kormas" (as Chicken Korma)?
I grow my own Habaneros and Tepin (flea) chillis in a custom made chilli house that gives a dry heat that the plants require to produce the capsaicin properly.
I love all things hot and am trying to get hold of mature Naga (cobra) eeds as they are supposed to be THE HOTTEST these days....
And they're not all heat either... remove the seeds and the ribs inside and you lose most of the heat and can really taste the fruitiness in Habaneros. I use these removed parts to make my own chilli sauces (together with spirit vinegar, salt, garlic) which I age for a couple of years before tasting......
I've never had heartburn... or "afterburn" from chillis... I must have a cast iron gut I suppose.....and didn't even cope with pepper until I was 21.....

Pollen is produced on the stamens, and usually ripens between noon and 3 PM every day. Take a moistened water-color paint brush, and pick up some pollen on your brush and transfer it to the other flower centers.
