Dave's Ghost Pepper

[Hookeye]

Tried a cap full at work last night, kicked in at 3 mins, next 7 were wicked.
Too much for a coworker, he tossed his lunch.
Of course a Mexican coworker ate 3 times as much as we did and called it "warm".
FWIW I knew I was screwed when I immediately got the hiccups.
IMHO they ought to call this stuff "sex change"
Wow.

I like it hot, but I think I am too chicken for this one.....

I recently tried the "worlds hottest hot sauce" in Gatlinburg last weekend. I have to say it was one of the more miserable experiences in my life.

His buddy in the video is... weird. He seems to be off in his own little world.

I don't get it. Why would you ever put that on food if it's that excruciating? Crying, sweating, and writhing in pain is not my idea of a good lunch.

 

[Scutter01]

I'll stick with Tabasco, thanks.

Because it releases a massive rush of endorphins. For people who like teh spice-ay, it's like a drug hit.

Frank's RedHot for me...Good flavor and it doesn't overpower the food I put it on.

 

[Hookeye]

Might be OK to use a little in a sauce, but straight up it's too wicked for me.
Was OK to the 3 min mark, then the Gates of Hell opened.
Has a flavor, up to the 3 min mark, then it's just a burn.
Eh, it's just temporary discomfort, knew I'd live when the pain would drop just a super tiny bit at a swallow or drink of water...........just had to wait it out.

I like the Man Vs Food show so figured I'd take a small bit and see what it was like.

 

[Hookeye]

Mmmmm, Franks Redhot, great on Pizza King Pizza!

As for the endorphin rush.............never felt that. Just cleared my sinusitis right up

A freakin' teaspoon of that stuff would put one there!

The dude cracked me up, esp when he said the back of his head started itching

 

[woundedyak]

Those dudes took it like a champ. I've ate a few ghost peppers in my time and it wasn't cool!

 

[Hookeye]

Those guys probably have a bit of tolerance too

 

[mr.steve]

Sounds interesting. I like it HOT. Growing hot peppers is one of my hobbies. This last season of habenaro and jalepeno peppers are the hottest I've grown. Need an NBC suit when I crush the dried peppers!

 

[stephen87]

No thanks, I'll stick with my Tapatio.

 

[perry]

No thanks, I'll stick with my Tapatio.

Yeah, that is the good stuff!

Best to cut it with a piece of bread or some milk if it get's too rough. Water just spreads the fire. It's like gasoline that way.

You really do build up a tolerance for the heat, I am originally from Texas so I grew up on hot, once jalapenos aren't hot enough you move to habanero, well once that isn't hot well gotta go somewhere. I love ghost pepper although I have to stop after a short period of time. It really does feel like you have been shot in the tongue. My favorite sauce for flavor and heat is Yucatan Sun, it is made with habanero. Good flavor and the heat builds instead of just tasting like hot vinegar, which is all I taste in some sauces.

A teaspoon of sugar will help put out the fire. Just chew on it until you coat your mouth then swallow. Don't follow with any liquid, repeat if necessary.

I have some bhut jolokia seeds I want to do evil with. What the ghost pepper is called. Japalenos (this term comes from a grocery cashier) have a taste to me that I don't really like, plus they make me hiccup. I usually use serranos, all hot, no taste, but not nuclear hot.
