normiss 898 #26 August 16, 2007 I was thinking the same thing...Funny how some of us have a tolerance for the smokin hot stuff ... sometimes barely spicy to me brings others to tears and pain. just axe skymama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick 67 #28 August 16, 2007 So one night my friend Jose was teaching me how to can hot peppers later that night after going to bed I start getting a little action going with my wifey her-"I'm on fire down there" me-"that's right I'm the man" her-"no dumb ass what do you have on your hands" as she runs to the bathroom to rinse offand we even wore rubber gloves while canning the peppers You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

ChrisL 2 #29 August 16, 2007 Quote Accentuate, not dominate. I want the main focus to be the taste of the food, not the spicing. Absolutely. However, the amount of capsaicin that will dominate is different from person to person. I make my own Habanero sauce that some folks think is extremely hot. I consider it to be nicely hot and a nice accent to many dishes. Habanero chiles actually have a wonderful, unique flavor and aroma but folks that cant take too much capsaicin cant actually taste it because the flavor is overpowered by the heat. Extreme chile heads (which I do not call myself) would find my sauce the be mild compared to some. I'm in the middle.__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely - I knew a guy back home that made his own salsa from habanero, scotch bonnet and some other pepper - would make my eyes water across the room when he'd open the jar and he ate it like candy.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

warpedskydiver 0 #32 August 16, 2007 Quote I cut a habanero once. I was on fire for several days. I wouldn't even suggest breathing in a room with a jolokia nearby. BTW do not cut habaneros and handle them with your bare hands, then use the restroom. You might get a bit tingly.A girl I know did that, then accidentally touched the promised land, which then became more like a burning hell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
