Some would consider the Hot peppers a psychedelic. Personally I do get quite the buzz when my mouth is on fire. It's said that the burning sensation causes natural endorphins to be released. I recently ordered the Bhut Jolokia pepper powder off eBay (finally got it in the mail today) and this shits intense. Your average hot chili (like Jalapenos) is about 5000 Scoville units (a rating scale for pepper hotness), a store brand Habanero is about 100,000 - 350,000 scoville units, and the Bhut Jolokia is about 1,050,000 Scoville units, lol. Probably had whats equivalent to a few grains of Salt for starters.. and my mouth is going nuts. Feels lovely lol. Anyone else ever experiment with this kinda stuff?
Me. My grampa was a chef and somehow got a small vial of capsicum, 8 000 000 scoville, to put that in perspective pepper spray is 2 000 000 scoville units. I also own a bunch of different hot sauces ranging from 200 000 - 3 000 000
Damn that's nuts. He must be throwin down bills then, (he sounds like quite the enthusiast lol), cause I've seen absolute pure capsicum (16 million scoville units) go for like 500 bucks for a few grams or something around there. But that's awesome. I wanna start gatherin a collection when I'm livin on my own and got a decent job. Hows the 3million stuff feel? Is it concentrated? Does a few drops do the job?
hahahahaa. yes indeed, peppers are intence, its funny to me to hear of other trippers getting off on em. we're a strange bunch, no? how about jumping into real cold water??? anyone??? lol
I recently recieved a pepper sampler pack, it contains 2 different kinds of flakes(habanero, chipotle) and 4 powders(ancho, new mexican, de arbol, cayenne). Upon dumping a couple good pinches of the habanero. I was met with just about the hottest pepper experience I had ever been graced with heh. I notice while eating a good deal of spicy foods I get a buzzy feeling in the face? Has anyone else had this experience?
Yeah i'd say. Usually it goes along with my entire face becoming numb. I think it's because all your taste glands get fired up with more saliva than you can handle, which triggers the endorphins to be released. I'd say it starts off with taking a few scoops of powder, feelin pretty mocho. Mocking the pepper mentally as you assume it's not so bad, then all the sudden moments later you are bombarded with a rush of heat in your mouth. You think over the course of a few minutes you've seen the worst only to notice the heats rising in with intensity. 5-20 minutes later it hits the actual peak, and you think you should be relieved now that burn is going away. Nope. Now it's just going somewhere else, lol, You feel it burnin wherever it hits your insides and then whatevers in your stomach gets churned and starts to burn aswell.. But at least amongst this entire process it's quite the mental buzz lol. I was actually in the bathroom on the floor a few minutes ago thinking I was about to throw up because of how badly it was fucking up my stomach lol. And I guess it ends with the next day when it is time to take a shit, probably hotter coming out then it is coming in.. The one down fall, lmao
it's quite a passion. Glad other people enjoy this shit. I can dig the cold water thing given the right mood haha. It's a fuckin jolt and a half. lmao thanks
I love the heat.I once got a standing ovation in a chinese joint for chomping down a handfull of some kind of red peppers.I told them it didn't bother ME--but it hurt .When I lived in Florida,a bunch of red-neck roofers were always bringing differant kinds of peppers to work to try and burn me out.They did a few times ,but I never let them know it.I like Dave's Insanity on certain foods.Bring it on!
haha that's pretty Bad ass. Was it red and shaped as a habanero? Might of been some savinas. Those are intense. Yeah i always get challenges and they crack up the second it goes in my mouth even though it's hot but not enough to make me react, assholes lol.
hahaha--yeah,it's fun to act like"shit,man--I thought you said this was hot"?All the while trying to keep the face from looking horrified!I like fresh raw jalapenos with tuna andwiches--I mean like 6 or 7 peppers,if they're hot.I bought some a coupla days ago that were like bell peppers.At least to me.Very disappointing.
Oh,the ones I ate in the chinese place were dried and dark red,so I don't know what kind they were,but they weren't shaped like habenero
there's nothin like getting a little drunk and getting HIGH on hot chilies scotch bonnets are the best
Blairs 6 Am = 16000000 scovilles, and at $200 or so a bottle, what a deal! God, youd never use that shit up. Ive had some of the other AM sauces, and that shit is ridiculous
my favorite hot sauce was always liquid stupid [or liquid stoopid, i don't remember how it was spelled]
ive had them by accident because they were in my food and i was hungry so didnt notice it on my fork. it was pretty hot but the taste wasnt a nice taste it was kinda gross to be honest
Ill eat really hot shit for the sake of doing it, but generally I prefer peppers and sauces to actually taste good, aswell as be incredibly hot
