I am talking about the stuff that makes you wanna die after eating it. I have been able to take every hot food I have eaten, and love em to death. I want to try something so hot I won't want to taste it again. Links would be great.

The hottest stuff I've ever tasted was called Dave's Hot Sauce. It was like 10 bucks for a tiny tiny bottle, but one drop of the stuff will drive you insane. The first time I tried it, we had NO milk in the fridge so I was drinking LOTS of water, which didn't help a bit BTW. I was clawing at my eyes for like an hour becuase it burned so much that it made my eyes water and I was stupid enough to rub them when they did and I still had some hot sauce on my hands. Yeah, Dave's Hot sauce is potent stuff. I'm working on shortening my run-on sentances by the way. ;)

Hmmm, Dave's Hot sauce? I wonder if they sell that in CA?
I believe the daves gormet is based in san francisco. Im not sure though. (It was on this show on foodnetwork about spicy stuff, but I wasnt really paying attention)

while driving down to L.A. i passed by a cool place.. Casa de Fruta. they sold a boat load of hot sauces and stuff. i bet they sell it. they have a storefront at Valley Fair in San Jose near the food court. Might want to give them a call and see if they stock it there.

I have a sauce that's called "The Hottest F-ckin' Sauce" I don't have the time to edit out the all the f-cks on the label. if you want to see it, PM me and I'll send you the link, the thought of posting the link and getting banned for a hot sauce label is absurd, but that's the way it is here

the hottest sauce i've ever seen (wouldn't even dare to try it) i just saw in vegas. it's called 100% pure cap, or something like that. the cap stood for capsaicin, which is the "spicy" part of anything hot. this was just capsaicin and vegetable oil. no way on earth am i going anywhere near that.

oh, and for those of you keeping score at home, pure capsaicin has a scoville heat unit score of 16 million.

Apparently it burned away your spelling ability too. How unfortunate. ;) j/k

Yeah, Dave's Insanity is pretty damn hot.. and tasty too.
There are sauces a lot hotter but they generally taste like crap.

7.1 million? Then why is it that according to this site, the highest scoville-rating ever recorded in peppers is 577,000?

Its an interesting thing is society, we're smart enough to use a computer, and yet cant read the simple words that are on a screen.

On the site YOU posted, read the bottom...Below all the pretty bars n graphs...

The hottest pepper recorded was a Habenero.
Pure Capsaicin measures 16,000,000 Scoville units.

But there is no pepper that is pure Capsaicin! Like that website said, hottest pepper in the world measures 577,000 at the Scoville-scale.

I believe the scovilles for the sauces can be much higher since they use extracts which are highly concentrated
portions of the hot peppers.

It's like that tiny bag of Kool-Aid, and water for half a gallon of flavored beverage.
Instead of adding water, esentially, you'd be eating the Kool-Aid out of the bag. Even being a treat, it's pretty
potent, can you imagine how pepper sauce would be at that state?

Good point, I never thought of that....

I love spicy food but I only eat natural chile sauces or chiles. I like the flavor the different chiles have and each chile goes with certain types of food. Poblano is great with eggs or as stuffed chiles, Ancho is great with sauteed shrimp and other seafoods, Pasilla is good with seafood or chicken in a red sauce, Jalapeno is a great everyday chile like some people eat olives or sweet pickles, Chipotle has a smoky bar-b-q flavor good with red meats, Serrano for general salsas, de Arbol for meat sauces, Piquin has a special flavor especially good when combined with garlic, and Habenero is my everyday hot sauce chile.

For me spicy is all about the flavor, not just how hot it can be.

Dave's Insanity is indeed hot enough to peel paint. It is actually pretty flavorful when used in reasonable amounts however. I generally add half a measured teaspoon to a big pot of chili....ends up hot enough to make your nose run a bit, but not so hot that you can't eat it.
