Anyone else tried this? Thought I'd be cute about it and drank 1/4 of the bottle, sufficient to say bad idea...

Any other hotsauce fanatics?

I love Dave's, but you have to respect it. One drop does a number on relatively large quantities of foods.

My dad made horse radish, stuff was so strong it stopped your breathing for a good 60 seconds, well my brother and I dared ourselves to each eat a spoon full all at once.

I love hotwings. I got some sauce in Georgia once called Pappies wild ride.



The logo was different, but same concept. A skeleton, kicking ass, on a hog.

Stupidest thing I've done is to take 1/2 a bottle of this down:

I've got a small bottle of... I think the brand is 'da bomb'. over five million scoville units, iirc. one or two drops (small drops) is enough to season a meal for 3-4 people. Half a bottle and you would lose consciousness.

I eat thai chili peppers with salt as a snack, I regularly have spicy food here that is spiced beyond what the locals eat sober (and usually far beyond what they eat drunk), but this kind of sauce is not to be messed with.

DaBomb was in the 1-2mil range. Blair's AM series tend to go higher than that, the source is a 7.1m.

Then we have this beast, 1 drop will kill you if consumed raw:



Blair's 16 million special reserve, ie pure Capsicum

I cannot eat anything spicy. Hell, even mild curry makes me cry I was ruined though. When I worked at Bob Evans, a co-worker thought it would be funny to pour a whole bottle of tobasco in my little koolaid cup, and I was so hot I just downed it, and didn't realize til after the fact that it was full of tobasco. Needless to say, I threw up majorly. Now I can't even smell spicy food without wanting to throw up, but I still eat mild coconut (Massaman) curry.

[Choscura]

coconut... masaman... curry? what? doesn't sound familiar. and you might be able to try the 'spicy green curry' (another thai dish). it's not actually 'spicy green curry', it's 'sweet green curry', . should have enough bite to warm your tongue up, not any more (not really even noticeable compared to most food here, thus, 'sweet green curry').

Also, confirmed: da bomb, final answer- 1.5 million scoville units. You can't really see this in the product photos of any of these, but theres a clear plastic rod attached to the cap that goes down to the bottom of the bottle that is used to get small drops into whatever you want it in. you don't pour it in anything, because if the stuff gets on the outside of the bottles it will burn your hands when you touch the bottle (speaking from experience).

I took 3 bites of green curry, and had to throw it away. I downed a whole bottle of Pepto.

[bflosabre91]

i cant really do real hot stuff either. i tend to get really warm and my face turns red and i sweat like crazy from just a little bit of heat. it kinda sucks cause it wasn't always the case, but i live with it.

[NeoTifa]

Same, I used to eat like 3 fire packets to a taco

Franks ( pic already posted above ) is the only one I keep in the house. Add butter to taste and it's the classic Buffalo wing sauce.

I don't mind hot food; you get a taste for it sometimes. I'm not a big fan of "how much pain can you take." Some Thai is damn hot. Pakistani too. Indian and Mexican are usually a good heat, spice used for flavor rather than an endorphin rush.

I did find this once in a Honduran place:


The standard hot sauce behind it was apparently meant to cool your mouth off. Happily, the rice was excellent. Some South American countries like milk in their rice; helps to cut the heat even better.

Actually, I was planning on some wings tomorrow...
