Spicy foods.

So, HK, what is the best hot sauce from Texas? One you can't find too many other places. Just curious. :thinks:

Next summer I might have have more time and money, so maybe I could take a day trip to SA and you could show me around. :D

I usually only like moderate spicyness in my food. For example I'll enjoy the occasional jalopeno with tortillas or the like.

Although as a challenge, a few weeks ago I did try a super hot chili that one of my friends had been growing through the summer, called Trinidad Moruga Scorpion chili. Apparently the hottest chili in the world. The piece I had was only quarter of the size of my pinky nail, but it had me unable to do anything but pant for approximately 15 minutes. Every orifice on my head was leaking, it was hard to breathe and I got a bit dizzy for a few minutes :D. So clearly, they don't call it the hottest pepper for nothing. Although I've seen some people go through it without too much problem. I'm guessing it must be something to do with genes and the receptors in your mouth.

Thanks Revo, now I have a new goal in life, to try that thing at least once in my life :lol:

On another note, I have found that cheese, as a base, is a very good supressor for chili acidness. So when you're all spiced up, have a slice of cheese and chew it :p I don't know if it works with any kind of cheese, but at least Gouda cheese does the job pretty well

Speaking of spicy food, does anyone ever been to Dixie's Barbeque in Washington? Kinda sad that the place is close over death of two founding owners but I really want to taste THE MAN sauce.

Yeah I do love to eat Spicy Foods, especially IF they balance the spices with other ingredient like sour taste soy sauce. And.... If I want to go further just add Sambal Belacan as my sauce.

I don't like spicy food :p Very exciting, I know :lol:

As for foods that will ease the pain, anything fatty or oily should work pretty well, for example whole milk and cheese. The fat molecules dilute the burning capsaicin in the chili, because they are both hydrophobic (which is also why water doesn't help at all). Some proteins in milk called caseins also deter capsaicin, according to Wikipedia.

:p

That's a really cute costume :lol:

I've heard of Dixie's BBQ, I also want to try "the man" :p

Got a bottle of ghost pepper sauce in the mail today along with a few other things. Almost scared to try it. :nalawet:

EDIT: I tried it. It is nice and spicy. It does burn more going down than it burns the mouth though. Had a spoon full.

I love spicy food! :D
I'll always get the spicy variant of whatever I'm eating.
Also, I've got 2 bottles of sriracha in my fridge right now :p
(And a Korean spicy sauce, and some bottles of hot sauce...)

The weirdest spicy thing I've eaten though, is this:

It's pretty spicy, but it tasted so good! :p
I love watermelon and spicy things, so it's the perfect combination!

I've also had these:

They (sometimes) sell them at Walmart.
I picked these up to share with a friend, but oh my god were these spicy!
I like to think I'm pretty resilient to spicy things, but these chips had me crying :haha:
The best part was that my friend was like "Are you okay? What's wrong?" and I just kept hiccuping and crying and making the weirdest, most inhumane, noises :p

They sell those at World Market. My sister keeps wanting to try them but then doesn't because they're kind of pricey for chips.
