Aparently my favorite, Tabasco, is a little weakling when it comes to hot...



Tabasco hasn't done much to me hot-wise for ages. Heck, I'll pour it on saltine crackers just to jazz 'em up a bit. ;)

Freebird's has a pretty good habanero sauce you can have them put on your burritos.

I'm still looking for a Thai place here in town that can kick my butt. Found one in Indianapolis, but not here. I walked in and they have the usual Mild, Regular, Hot, Very Hot, Thai Hot. So I ask for the Thai hot, as I usually do. The lady goes "Are you sure? It's really hot." I'm like, "Yeah. Yeah. I'm used to it." She's like, "No. I'm serious. This stuff is really hot. Only the Thai cooks eat it." I'm still going "Seriously, it's OK. I can handle it." So she sort of shrugs and walks off.

I get my food a little later. Take a couple bites and think "Nice! This has a little zip. At least they actually made it hot for a change."

About five bites into it I'm gulping down water by the gallon and eating all the crackers in sight. I fought it valiantly, but only managed to finish about half. :o

It's those slow burns that are the most deadly. They sneak up behind you and hit you across the back of the head with a shovel when you aren't looking. :S

You should have said something while you were in town, there's a very very good one here that can make stuff hot enough to melt your fork. We also have a place that makes wings so hot that you have to sign a waiver!

I keep Dav'es insanity sauce around when I want to add heat to somehting.

You can dip a toothpick in it then touch your tongue and it will burn.

the other sauces that are hotter are pretty silly as they are variations of pure capsaicin that is chemically extracted from peppers. Calling them a "sauce" is ridiculous. They are more like a "raw ingredient" for a sauce..:D:D

i.e they are hotter than pure habanero and really just a novelty or for adding tiny bits to a huge pot of chili for heat.

...MY bottle of Dave's Ultimate Insanity only goes back 3 years. Agreed, I'll likely lose it before I use it all up...

***

We get Scotch Bonnet (aka Habanero, look like tiny pumpkin shaped peppers) peppers in town on occasion. Carefully I gut them of their seeds and white membrane (the really hot bits) and use the flesh to flavor chili and other 'hot' dishes like a thai style roasted chicken I do. All the FLAVOUR without the tongue-numbing heat (after all, what's heat without flave?)

That sounds like CLUCK-U CHICKEN!!!

They have one of those here in Santa Clara. I love that place!! I have never even attempted their "911 Challenge" yet. That is where they serve you 12 of their hottest wings and you have to eat them all in 10-15 minutes with no napkins and no water. Then after eating them, you have to sit there for 5 minutes without wiping your mouth or drinking any water.

There's a hot sauce called Melinda's XXX which is really good!! Not just because of the quantity of heat, but also because of the quality of the flavor. Just because a hot sauce is really really hot does not make it good all by itself. Melinda's uses habanero peppers and also has a wonderful slightly smoky flavor without any vinegary flavors in it.

Problem is, I can't find it in any stores I've tried since I moved away from Bethesda, MD.:(

Last time I was in China, I was talking to the guys from Primax who were hosting us. We finally convinced them to take us to a restaraunt _they_ liked. They asked me if I liked spicy food.

"Oh yeah," I said. "It's hard to get really spicy food in the US." They muttered amongst themselves and sent someone off to talk to the cook. Uh oh, I thought. What have I done?

The food we got that night was the hottest stuff I've ever eaten. I had to drink a lot of expensive bottled water, but I did manage to eat it. The look on their faces was worth the pain.

The Thai food place is appropiately called "Thai Taste" its a little family run hole in the wall, actually strike that, they just moved and expanded to a larger location, so it looks more acceptable to "normal" people.


The wings place is NOT that cluck'n chicken place. Its actually a laundry mat, its that bar&grill/laundry place I was talking about in a different post. If you eat all the wings you get a t-shirt and your name on the wall. Not too shabby. I tried a toothpick dipped in the sauce, well I didn't get to "try" it since when I brought it up to my mouth my nose started running and my eyes teared up...B|

Zennie, when you can make it, we'll go to Thai Taste, best of all its BYOB.:)
