KentVillan Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Wanted to find out a bit more about this Carolina Reaper malarkey. Firstly, I found it interesting that these super hot chilis are used for purposes like scaring away elephants and preventing sea creatures from growing on boats. I think that gives a clue as to what they might be capable of doing to your gut. I was nearly crying along with these two guys. Incredible telly, but not sure what pleasure they're getting from pepper spraying their insides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then I have made sure that I've got some in the cupboard, just about to sit down and have a bowl right now in fact, got me a nice big glass of milk to go with them. Korea’s finest. I eat the black ones which are one down from these pretty regularly. The 2x spicy are good too though. I don’t think there’s that much difference between them tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Call me a culinary snob but I don't really want to eat something that guarantees ring sting the day after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I tried eating an Aussie fur burger in Bali about 4 years ago. She was hot as f*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I like spice, probably about the same threshold as you @Davkaus with Habanero/Scotch Bonnet. However, whenever I buy raw jalapeno they seem hotter than the sun, despite absolutely not being that hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But usually raita sauce (NO CUCUMBER) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2022 My wife's a big fan of the Encona sauce. I feel a bit guilty, because she'd go out for curries a lot more often if it wasn't for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted August 31, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2022 Encona sauce is superb. First had it on holiday in Barbados where they put it with pumpkin soup and stuff like that. I get through loads of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Encona is my go to hot sauce. I prefer the one with Papaya in it to the original but they don't stock it in the supermarkets near me, so only get it when I end up in one further afield and remember to look. In terms of hot food, I've always had a high tolerance to it and love hot Curries. I can still handle the heat but it does have more of an impact next day than it used to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 id say i lean more towards flying goose sriracha over encona but i eat wraps with chicken nuggets and salad smothered in that once a week but thats not crazy hot thats just a nice little kick balanced with avocado or mozzarella, again worked my way through the range curries i cant get past CTM, i like it too much to ever want to try something different at an indian restaurant, its top tier food, i could happily eat that once a week too flying goose has a new tikka flavour but i cant find it anywhere, i'll have a look for the papaya encona that sounds up my street (KW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only can I not handle hot (as in spicy) food, but the same goes for hot (as in temperature). I never got burned by pop tarts, etc., as I'd always leave them to cool on a plate for a good while before eating them. And I find ice cream unbearably cold, it makes my throat physically hurt, unless it's pretty much melted. My wife finishes her cup of tea and tells me mine's gone cold - but it's still too hot for me. And I don't have a big appetite at the best of times - I can easily skip meals and not care. If I'm honest, I don't much care about eating at all - it's just a chore I have to do to stay alive. If I could live on a magic nutrition pill a day, like in science fiction stories, I probably would. I’m kind of with you on eating. I really enjoy a very good meal (rare beef filet, smoked pork ribs, etc). However, if there was a pill I could swallow instead of having to eat a “regular” meal, I’d take it.
