Bhut Jolokia

Can't sleep tonight because of the heartburn. Billed as the hottest peppers on Earth. Had two.

I'm a serious chili-head.  Love my chilis, love the heat.  Chilis find their way into at least 1 meal a day.  Hot sauce is right next to the salt and pepper.  Habaneros are my go-to pepper. (In moderation.)

At some point though, more is not better, it's just more.  A little heat adds a fun punch.  Too much through is not fun, it's distracting, it's now taking away from the dish rather than adding to it.

As a chili-head heat junkie....  Bhut Jolokia are too much.  The heat in those bad boys is military grade.  You can literally add 1/2 of one of those to a full cup of salsa and still have a scorching salsa.  The heat in them overpowers what flavor there may be.  Your taste buds are so overwhelmed flavor is forgotten.

Bhut Jolokia....   pass.

Wow, no wonder you have heart burn! I've yet to try the infamous Ghost Pepper, I'm curious, does it have flavor? Or is it too hot to notice... LOL?! My lifesaver is Prevacid!

My Habanero Chipotle sauce, with smoked carrots, garlic, and onions; very hot after about 3 seconds, unreal flavor!

I downed the last one today, the big one. Finished off the pack in two, three days, two peppers a day.


Well, I was doing fine, until that last one. You know, that one pepper in a hundred that's ten times hotter than any of the others? I have come across them numerous times, with jalapenos and habaneros. First time with the ghost pepper.


Didn't think I was going to make it. That really tired me out. Here's my secret:

If you don't have a banana, knock on someone's door and get one. One look at you and they will comprehend. Then if you can't walk, lie down. You'll feel the burn go away, and as it returns, sit up. The burn will go away again, then return. I keep repeating the ritual until the digestion process is finished.


And yes, they have great flavor. The burn doesn't really set in until they are in your tummy.

To add, it must have been really hot. Even 2 million is waay hot. That's the scorpion pepper.

Glutton for punishment, but I understand, I love the rush of the heat! Peppers are high in vitamin C too. I used to cut up a Habanero or Serrano pepper at work around 2pm instead of coffee, and it worked well, it forces you to drink more water which is good and fights fatigue.

I like to slice the peppers and have them with cheese. Sontova is a great hot sauce, it comes in XX and XXX:

booda badda whatever those suckers are deadly!LOL! Janitor you must have had an NDE with them!

A non-digestion-experience!

Cholula's my favorite and a bit of indian green chilis goes in everything I make...thats hot enough for me!

Heres the Janitor on the scene!

Cheers!

Oh, I got booster power, but its not from hot peppers...phytoplanktons. I get full digestion, at least 10% more than anyone else on this forum, if no one else does phytoplanktons. Started them to correct DNA errors, now I am a walking colony.


The incentive to correct DNA errors was born out of a need to radiation harden my body from the friginshima plume of death. That and manganese, which fortifies my cell walls against radiation bombardment. Also the building materials for cell walls is helped with soy lecithin and orange flavored emulsified cod liver oil from Twin Labs.

It is very important in the course of radiation hardening to avoid any foods with hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils, including and not limited to cottonseed, canola, safflower, soy...

Also expect to take a long time doing it. Because it takes time to shed cells and replace them. However it will be worth your time to bless my name whilst people be dropping from thyroid cancers.

I put Cholula's on everything.....And I like Sirachai sauce on my breakfast eggs.....Two drops of Dave's Insanity goes into my Wing Sauce....

I eat Thai food as hot as They will make it...

For heartburn:  2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (Braggs or other non-pasteurized, organic is best) in 8 oz water.  Drink it down and heartburn is gone.

Exactly, Amy, funny how acid can counteract heartburn, eh..but yes it does work!

I find it quite amusing that an acid is alkalinizing in the body.  But ACV is one of the best alkalinizing food-stuff available.  Along with avocado.
