Title: How well are you with spicy foods? Do you like them?
Post by: marvelvscapcom2 on April 06, 2017, 02:08:22 pm
I just ate a raw ghost pepper whole and it truly messed my day up.  I eat the habenero ones for snacks when i want a kick and i consider myself to be pretty strong with spicy stuff.   But that ghost pepper whole and raw is my limit.  That beat me up something bad.  sent me to the sink. lol    :D

What is your spicy tollerance.  Do you like spicy or hate it.   

The spicy scale

level 1- A apple
level 2- A Bell Pepper
level 3- Taco Sauce
level 4- Siracha
level 5- Hot Salsa
level 6- jalepeno
level 7- habenero
level 8- ghost pepper
level 9- carolina reaper
level 10 -  Satan's soul

I'm a level 7 on the scale :)

:D

You ever eat at a Thai restaurant, their scale is significantly different than yours.  10 here is probably a 5 or a 6 to them. Realistically, 7 is like a 3 or a 4.

im a really spicy person, so probably a 10. I actually grow all the peppers I consume, some of which are Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Bhut Jolokia (ghost pepper), and Fatal Gourmet Jigsaw. I grow allot more varieties than these 4 but they are my spiciest peppers. im currently trying for a Spanish Naga Plant but its rather difficult to locate one.

For clarification I only grow Bhut Jolokia peppers to sell as I find them to be rather tasteless while the other peppers listed are full of flavor. Most people eat Ghost peppers only because they believe it to be the hottest pepper and to show off to others. I will highly recommend Trinidad Scorpions over them as they are much more flavorful with the same relative spiciness (depending on how you grow them, as they can be much hotter if grown in ideal conditions)

level 8- ghost pepper        ~855000-1000000 SHU

Nope. Never have like spicy food.

I will make an exception for chicken wings though, because chicken wings are awesome. But you do have to have some good ranch to dip it in.

I'm a level 7-8, but I have tried some of the hottest peppers on my foods before.

My family used to prank each other with this stuff; Dave's Insanity Sauce, it's so hot it makes you want to die.

6 is about where me comfort zone goes too, but depending on what it is I can handle 7. Fuck anything beyond that. However I must say, anything 5 and below has a very real change of making me regret eating what I did the next day, if you catch my drift.

I would be a 6. I'd venture beyond that if I was feeling daring.

I am probably at a 6 or 7.. anything hotter almost ruins the enjoyment of the food for me.

As well my stomach doesn't always agree with spices.

I like spicy-ish stuff.  I order the "hot" at a wing place.  I'm just not going to eat stuff that hurts to eat. 

I'm about a 6-7 on what I enjoy.  I

I'd be 6-7, I've never eaten a jalapeno or a habanero so I don't know how hot they are. I can handle a good vindaloo though.

I have eaten a dried carolina reaper before... it was not fun. To the people who haven't tried one who watch youtube videos of people eating them and think "Yep, I can probably imagine what that's like."
YOU CAN NOT. HOLY FUCK. I was hunched over a sink for half an hour drinking cold water and it did nothing. Oh god.

Jalapeno is good enough for me.

lol it always makes me laugh people trying things like this. I grow the things for my chili, tacos, burritos, burgers, etc, and even im not going to eat a whole one plain, let alone a dried one. I have eaten the seeds before (seeds are where most of the heat is in a pepper) and I would definitely not recommend that.

Also water does next to nothing to curb the receptors in your tongue from feeling the burn. whenever I try a batch of my peppers I always keep a gallon of milk by me to swish in my mouth if they end up being on the hotter end. I forget what it is but something in milk products blocks the receptors that pick up the spiciness on your tongue. I wouldn't recommend actually drinking the milk as it can make you puke (if you drink to much of it) and will cause any back end problems to be worse as more of the capsaicin will go to your digestive track.

White bread (why it gotta be white?!) also helps with that.

Spicy food is gorgeous. Sichuan food, especially, also Indian food - YUM.
But my current favorite is  Shin Ramyun noodle soup. When I bought it the first time, the shop owner tried to talk me out of it. Now I often cook it and it for lunch. I even ordered a special containers for soup on https://allinpackaging.co.uk/food-packaging/catering-containers/ . The taste is so good but many ppl don't understand it.

I get absolutely destroyed by any spicy food. I can't even handle low wend stuff like spicy doritos or cheetos.
