I don't know about you guys, but I used to be afraid to suck on a peppermint because it was to hot.

and now...I'm dumping jalopenos on allmost everything I eat, people eat something spicy with me and start crying, I notice a dull throb on my toung and not much else.

Anyone else LOVEING spicy food? I had to make myself cut back so I wouldn't damage my throat!

I'm not sure there is anyone on this forum that can top me when it comes to the realm of spicy heat. I eat scotch bonnets, habaneros, and sichuan peppercorns on a regular basis. These peppers are the hottest on the scoville units (heat index). :)

When i was in the airforce(way back when i was 18:rolleyes:) we use to drink something called a prairie fire. It was a shot of tequella and a shot of tabasco sauce. yes a whole shot. then the person drinking it would have to sit and not drink or eat anything else for three minutes. now that really burned going down.
