Ok, so we went out to good friends for a meal and my mate, Andy said if your curry isn't hot enough put only ONE drop if this in. Well I put 3 in and needless to say, my mouth was on fire. BUT...... Unbeknown to me, I had some on my thumb and duly rubbed my eyes! Needless to say I have never felt pain like it and my eye swelled up and was very painful.
.........and also be very careful when you go for a wee. We dont need to see the pic of that one :biggrin:
Indeed. Sorry Viv, my Draw Something crashed so I had to delete it. Re installed it so will start another game with you!
I bought some chill sauce in Chinatown Liverpool in 1987. I still have it (or at least some of it). It used to be so hot, that a knife tip dipped in it was more than sufficient. Now it is almost edible. I figured that bugs were very unlikely to survive for long in there. My favourite trick is to make a curry by cutting up home-grown chillies. Then, no matter how many times I wash my hands, there comes the moment when I need to put my fingers in my eye to take out my contact lenses before I go to bed. Ouch. I know it's going to hurt, and it always does. You have my sympathies, Pete.
I'm a big fan of hot chillis. Experience has taught me to wear my specs rather than contact lenses when I'm enjoying a hot one! Chilli Cookoff Notes from an inexperienced Chili taster named FRANK, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast: "Recently I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. 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: Chilli # 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 shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. Chilli # 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 rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. Chilli # 3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans. JUDGE TWO: A bean less 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, get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced from all the beer. Chilli # 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, is it possible to burn-out taste buds? Sally, the bar maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills, that 300 lb. bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I'm eating. Is chilli an aphrodisiac? Chilli # 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, sweat is pouring off my forehead 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. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks! Chilli # 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. I shit myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally, she must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone! Chilli # 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 chilli 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 grenade in my mouth, pull the 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 mouth. My pants are full of lava-like shit to match my damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4 inch hole in my stomach. Chilli # 8: Mount Saint Helen's 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 over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor Yank, wonder how he would have reacted to a really hot chili? FRANK: -------------- (editor's note: Judge #3 was unable to report)
Top tip! Just wear those gloves that they wear in sandwich shops when chopping those hot puppies. Viola! painless contact removal,eyes, wees etc.
Hi, anyone from the sussex area fancy a ride out to Saltdean to try a sizzler? ChileFoundry News – Thelurch Attempts The Saltdean Sizzler Pizza Challenge
yeah that's the old Chuck Norris eye drops syndrome, i.e. you need to be as hard as fook for that bad boy.
Just been doing some research into the chilis. The Scoville scale measures the 'spicyness' of chilis A standard Jalpeno pepper has a score of 3,500. The sauce I got in my eye had a Scoville rating of 135,600!! No wonder it hurt!!!
Adam Ricmond from Man v Food had a challenge of eating 6 wings cooked in those chillies without being able to have a drink or wipe his face. He was in severe pain! I love that programme
What joy do you get from eating such hot things !! Garlic is my hottest I can't eat hot curries my mouth burns my eyes water and my nose runs. Eating is supposed to be pleasure not pain How's the eye today desmoP
Been ok. A little discomfort and slight swelling but useable!! LOL. If all else fails, I have a spare!!
Naga Viper Chilli sauce is what you want (1.38m Scoville units) It was a tad warm going down, warmer coming out Yes, my pic is on the wall at Red Dog Saloon!
Saw that one on sky the other day, He was trying the challenge for a second time The great steak challenge in Baltimore, 74oz of meat and 1lb of side items, I could feel my chest hurting as he packed it away in an hour. Some of it does look nice though, especially the seafood, mmmmmmmmm.
