Chili's Heat Kills Prostate Cancer Cells

I love hot peppers! Once in a while, when you get a dose of the really hot stuff, you almost get a euphoric feeling while your eating 'em.

Never seem to get anything remotely resembling a euphoric feeling the next morning however. More like "WOWWWWW-OW! gotta stay seated...gotta stay seated...gotta stay seated..."

Just take some shaved ice with you to the restroom. Also, applying some topical numbing product, like those meant for teeth, will get you though those first uncomfortable seconds.

Hmmm ... creates a gentle warming sensation ... where have I heard that before?

[Sax]

"Hey Dad, where ya going with that sno-cone?"

[Billthedrill]

BtD: "Mornin', Doc!"

Dr: "Morning, Mr. Drill. Now, drop 'em and bend over." (Snaps on the gloves and holds up an object resembling a translucent nightstick)

BtD: "Whatinellizzat?"

Dr: "Habanero suppository. It's for your prostate. Enjoy! Oh - here's some tortilla chips..."

ROFL!

I had the unfortunate experience of eating a pepper in an oriental dish that actually burned the skin on my tongue. That's no fun.

Euphoria? I think think of other ways...death by chocolate maybe.

I know the ones - about an inch to an inch and a half long, and thin papery red skin.

When I was 20, I once chopped habaneros and then answered nature's call. About :30 seconds later I was a half a block away, because I had a tremendous urge to try to outrun the pain.

Anyone got a good Chili Recipe for me?

Habanero suppository

Wow. Just saying that out loud made me pucker. And I'm eating stuffed jalapenos right now.

Anyone got a good Chili Recipe for me?

2 Cans Wolf Brand Chili
1 Can Ranch Style Beans
6 pack of beer

Open first beer, begin consuming. Open cans of Chili and beans, pour into pot.
Open and begin consuming second beer. Turn heat on low under pot, stirring contents together. Cover, leave heat on low.
Open and begin consuming third beer. Take remaining beer with you to couch or reclining chair. Turn on TV.
Open and begin consuming fourth beer. Turn the game on. You'll probably need to visit the restroom about now. Be sure to wash hands.
On the way back from restroom stir chili. Open and begin consuming 5th and 6th beers. Watch game.
Chili should be done now.

I have an entire chili cookbook somewhere.

[confederacy of dunces]

Wow, I saw this and just went "ouch!". And I'm not a guy.

Here's my chili sauce recipe:

Sorta Hot Salsa


10 whole Habaneros
12 whole Tomatillos, husked and rinsed
8 whole Jalapeños
6 whole Serranos
2 whole Anaheims
1 whole Vidalia onions, skinned
1 whole sweet red peppers, seeded
1 whole Lime
2 ounces Balsamic vinegar

Dice ingredients put in a blender (I use a food processor) individually and process. Put the mixture in the bowl. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top. Let marinate overnight.

Don't be in too much of a hurry. These chaps sound like amateurs, no matter what degrees they may hold.

"I am not recommending that people increase their consumption of peppers," he said. "Our calculation is that you would have to eat 10 habanera peppers three times a week, which would be equivalent to the amount of capsaicin we gave to the mice."

Sorry, fella, the active ''heat'' principle in habanero peppers is not capsaicin, it's oleoresin capsicum, a related but more complex molecule.

[peacebaby]

thanks for telling me...hubby enjoys growing these habaneros and using them when he can.

[SAJ]

BTW, if you or hubby ever bite into a pepper that's just too hot, the best remedy in the world is neither water nor beer, but buttermilk. Or just a pat of butter right on the tongue.

Capsaicin and its chemical cousins are not soluble in water and only slightly soluble in ethyl alcohol -- but readily dissolve in fat. They're related to the B vitamins, which if you've ever wondered are classed together because they are fat-soluble.

(entry #9064 in the book of ''More Than You Wanted To Know About ...'').

I was wondering how you knew this information, trader. And thanks for the info on the pat of butter, I needed it when I bit down on an asian pepper once.

[SAJ]

Long time ago, Chem 26b, Chemistry of Food. The only chem class I **really** enjoyed.

[peacebaby]

hmmm, a trader and a genius.
