You've got that right.
Over the years I have intentionally planted some sweets in with the hots just for friends that only like a little heat.
I can see this thread devolving into the merits of various kinds of chile peppers..........LOL!!!
I try to experiment with at least 4 or 5 new types each year..........but the one I will not grow is tabasco, just can't for some reason abide the taste of those peppers.
You've got that right. I learned that years back while working part-time in a Thai restaurant. Within about 3 weeks after I stopped working there I could no longer handle the heat that I had been able to while eating there nearly daily.
LOL!!!
Fancy finding you on a spicy food thread. Particular one that is often paired with cilantro!!! LOL!!!
I enjoy Thai, but still have to be careful with some of theirs. It's different, somehow. The usual bread and butter antidote doesn't kill an "overdose" as well as it does with the peppers I'm more accustomed to eating.
The Thai have a different remedy. Put about a teaspoon of salt in your mouth and just hold it there for as long as you can, then spit it out and rinse (repeat if necessary). The salt pulls the saliva, which pulls the burn out. Whatever you do, don't swallow.......
It does work, believe me - I've used it on more than one occassion.
my niece is diabetic and i know HD is interested in diabetes too. not focused on the peppers but i like spicy food, just not cilantro.
I'll have to remember that. I'm having lunch at Rearn Thai tomorrow. Nice to have an "out" if I overdo it, but that's sure to get a few strange looks, lol.
LOL!! Was just funnin' with ya, that's all.
While eating out, I suggest doing it in the restroom :)
It tastes like soap.
I believe the medical name for BBS is Jaloproctosis.
That's pretty much true for any hot peppers. I've had to go around openning doors and windows in the dead of winter on more than one occassion because the oil was too hot when I put the peppers in, and filled the house with that kind of smoke.
Same thing happens when you little purebred toy poodle gets loose and encounters the neighborhood scruffy male dog!
IIRC, diabetes in Hispanics is pretty conmon
Sugar-free ice cream.
LOL. I have personal experience with that.
OMG.............LOL!!!!!!!
"You die coughing, unable to take another breath!"
That happened to me once when I was living in Thailand. My cook threw in the peppers and I started coughing with each breath. I was in the middle of a Thai language lesson, and the teacher and I were both coughing and laughing at the same time. It was a weird experience.
I've grown my own prik kee nuu peppers for some time, but I've recently tried to grow a "wild" birdseye pepper. Out of 15 seeds only one germinated, and the plant is just now beginning to set fruit. I can't wait to try them when they are fully ripe. I understand them to be even hotter than the Thai peppers.
