Want!
When I lived in Germany my German freinds did not know spicy.
They took me to a Thai restaurant and told me I will be sorry if I order any of the spicy foods.
I then told the waiter to bring me the spiciest Pud Thai they could make.
It was hot alright, but great. I ate it all up. My German friends told me I must be crazy to like that.
Later I grew some jalapenos in my garden. They told me they wouldn’t grow, but I put them on a southern exposure with an aluminum foil reflecting north wall. I got some good ones.
I was in the kitchen cleaning them, and my friend Olaf came over and asked me what it was. I told him it was a Texas Pickle. He asked if he could try it but I told him what it really was and that he couldn’t handle it. Well, he then went and bit off half of one an started to chew. You could see his whole face go red from the neck up. He ran to the sink, turned on the faucet and started sucking in the water in big gulps.
I said “I told you!” He said, “I thought you ver joking like you alvays do! Ach du lieber mein Got das is feuer!”
What a lightweight.
LOL, see, I was perfectly willing to take that chance, though people were looking at me with concern as my face turned red, I began panting as I ate, and sweat began to visibly bead up on exposed flesh!
But...if someone sees three peppers next to the appetizer (as Thai restaurants are particularly wont to do) and the dish is named “Dragon Balls”, well, I don’t need no stinkin’ sign or release form!
For some reason Thai food doesn’t do that.
Mmmmm! Gave me a lunch idea...Spam sauteed in Thai Sweet Chili sauce...Mmmmm!
Dragon Balls come from short-legged bulls.
Those look good. I’d try one. If they were too hot, I wouldn’t eat another one.
It’s that simple.
But the Selfie Generation takes it personally.
I ordered a spicy dish, and then customized it to make it really extra spicy, and it was, but...completely delicious!
As I ate, I could see the people peering out at me from behind the curtain that hung in the doorway to the kitchen.
Then, the cook came out and said with a big grin "Ah! You eat spicy food!"
I got the distinct impression they made it to cause me discomfort, fully expecting me not to eat it...
I don't eat for pain from the heat. I think people who do that are silly masochists, but I did enjoy this video:
Chili Klaus and Classical Orchestra eat the worlds hottest peppers!
There was one guy obviously throwing up in his hand, and they all made a beeline outta there!
My wife knows how much I enjoy them, and she bought me a big bunch of dried peppers that we hung in the kitchen. These were dried, very mild (almost no heat) and had a wonderful flavor and texture, kind of like dried tomatoes. I would walk by, rip one off the hanging, and munch on it as a snack.
One day, when I was alone in the house (My wife was gone for the day) I ripped a pepper off that hanging bundle, threw it in my mouth and began chewing. It was so damned hot that I began having trouble breathing, and NOTHING brought the heat down...I tried all the usual remedies. I was alone, sweat pouring off my scalp, and when I went into the bathroom, my eyes had begun turning bloodshot!
I have to say-I began to panic a little bit, but I forced myself to stay calm, and that if I could get past 15-30 minutes, it would probably begin to improve.
But it felt to me as if I could have died there, all alone. (this was before the cell phone days)
I have long suspected an unfriendly entity at some point in the supply chain for those peppers deliberately planted a single, really hot one in there.
When she eats a ghost pepper or Carolina reaper get back to me. Why would someone who admits she doesn’t handle spicy food well even go to a restaurant that advertises that they serve spicy food. And from my experience eating spicy food, which I love by the way, is you’ll know after one bite. I grow Ghosts, Reapers and Scorpions so I feel comfortable discussing this topic. This woman is looking for a pay day.
She looks like a young Kamala.
If she had more than one bite and kept eating, bugger her.
Hot crappola hits immediately.
They want to get them while prepubescent, just like the tranny activists.
Oddly, the heat goes down the next day. If something is too hot, I just stick it in the refrigerator and eat it the next day
That wasn’t chicken.
If she is using a lawyer, the lawyer should be disbarred for bring garbage like this to a courtroom.
That's right Dude, the B____ kidnapped herself.
I had Thai food for lunch yesterday with the hottest available, but I like the heat.
