Poll: What is your level of tolerance for spicy food?
- Thread starter Chaotic42
- Start date
I enjoy spicy food as well, but only if it has flavor, being hot just for the sake of being hot isn't good to me. Most of those ultrahyperdeathanddestruction hot sauces are just a lot capsaician and not a lot of flavor which is not worthwhile IMO.
"Oh, my. This steamed carrot is a bit too spicy"
heheh, I love that answer
(not what I picked though, tabasco sauce it is!)

I put Tapatio on everything! Not that hot but it has a mild kick and great flavor.
Notes From An Inexperienced Chili Taster Named FRANK, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast: "Recently I was honored to be selected as an outstanding Famous celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a chili cook-off, because no one else wanted to do it.
Also the original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted. Here are the scorecards from the event:
Chili # 1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
FRANK: Holy sh!t, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it. Took me two beers to put the flames out. Hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
Chili # 2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili
JUDGE ONE: Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken, seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to walkie-talkie in 3 extra beers when they saw the look on my face.
Chili # 3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.
FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting sh!t-Faced.
Chili # 4: Bubba's Black Magic
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Sally, the bar maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300lb. b!tch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I'm eating.
Chili # 5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
FRANK: My ears are ringing, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. F*ck those rednecks!
Chili # 6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. I need to wipe my arse with a snow cone!
Chili # 7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge Number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
FRANK: You could put a f*cking grenade in my mouth, pull the f*cking pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili which slid unnoticed out of my f*cking mouth. My pants are full of lava-like sh!t to match my goddamn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. F*ck it, I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, i'll just suck it in through the f*cking 4inch Hole in my stomach.
Chili # 8: Helen's Mount Saint Chili
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili, neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed
out, fell and pulled the chili pot on top of himself. Not sure if he's going
to make it. Poor Yank.

I once ate a tablespoon of Megadeath, a 600,000 (IIRC) Scoville Unit sauce. A jalapeno is ~4,500.
I shouldn't have done it.

I use habanero and scotch bonnet pepper sauces like ketchup.
I haven't had a hot sauce I couldn't handle. I will say though, that I prefer "real" heat from a pepper over fake heat from vinegar. Gah. Vinegar hot is icky. It's that stuff that makes your cornhole burn in the morning. A good hot habenero doesn't bring the pain like that vinegar based crap does the next day.

If you're ever in Phoenix, AZ you absolutely have to try this Mexican restaurant called Los Dos Molinos. The signature dishes they have are kicked up about 100 notches and are quite an experience if you enjoy hot food. My tongue is still burning from the enchilada I had last week when I was there on business.
An excellent point. I always say that as well. If it's too hot to be enjoyable then what's the use? To say wow, I ate something so hot I had flames shooting out of my mouth?? That's dumb. I want it to accentuate my food.
I am a spice nut. I use hot sauce, crushed red pepper and whatever else is around on all kinds of things. I hate bland food. I remember when one drop of Tobasco used to burn my tongue and have me grasping for water. Now I can drink it from the bottle.
Aves2k: Funny comment about the Taco Bell "Fire sauce" as I had some last night and was thinking about how some people actually think that's too spicy.
