Ethnic slur?

Wut? Is it still even really an ethnic slur joke if I have to explain it?

you can buy it online...

I do, and it's expensive. Though, this thread reminded me that I needed more and then I found a place to order from that's way cheaper than where I used to order from.

ten bucks a bottle shipped isn't that expensive... that's what my deal is w/ fuego box. $30 for 3 bottles every 3 months. totally worth it.

I grew Fatalii peppers a couple of years ago and I loved them. The first time, I didn't know what I was doing so I cut one into quarters and just stuck a piece in my mouth. I immediately knew it was a bad idea. You know how sometimes something bad happens and you start sweating? Hairs on your neck and all that? I was pacing all around the house with tunnel vision. Near psychedelic. Good stuff.
I grew bhut jolokia in a subsequent year and the flavor wasn't nearly as good.
We have a local chilifest where I tried a bunch of different varieties and fatalii still wins for me.

i feel deja-vu like i've shared this on here before, but i keep plastic gloves in my kitchen because of the time i was slicing home grown habaneros and made the mistake of rubbing my eye... burned like hell for about 45 min...

Consider yourself lucky... I've done that and touched worse parts.

yep!
we are talking about those parts where touching is usually quite beautiful, only after hot peppers it's rather , right?


Also Carolina Reaper is the bomb!
So unbelievably hot!

Taste-test of strong habanero sauce before CR: god that's hot! HOT!!
Taste-test of same strong habanero sauce after CR: mmmmh! there's cumin in there. hm.. and some garlic. nice!

I have a bottle of Painmaker, I think it's got pure capsicum in there, it's ridiculous.
Funny Germans who make that shit.

I touched my dick and balls once after slicing a Habanero chili:
So I go to the bathroom to do my thing.
Get back and sit on the couch waiting for my pot of chili to get done.
Suddenly I feel this sting and burn building up down below and I'm thinking to myself "What is that?"
Until the better part of me realized it was because of the chili.

Dang son, that burn, that sting, no more, no more.

But yeah, I LOVE spicy food!

In my previous job there was this guy from Surinam who would get food from his grandma or something.
One time he put too much Madame Jeanette in his food and he wasn't able to eat it.
I took his plate, emptied the whole sacket of Madame Jeanette on it and munched away.
I was sweating like a pig but you should have seen the eyes of everyone at the table, it was hilarious.

Madame Jeanette pepper is awesome, it's got such a fruity exotic taste to it like nothing else.
Same with Habanero and Jalapeno, they have quite unique flavours.
I think those are my favourites so far.

Oh yeah, and Birambi chutney for yet another special exotic flavour, plus Sambal Peteh to go with the Bami (noodles).

Spicy food, oh yeah.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Love spicy food! Not exactly the hardest person for it but I like experimenting and pushing my limits a bit.

Also Carolina Reaper is the bomb!

you've actually had one? just seems to me like it would be SO UNBELIEVINGLY painful...

interesting read once you get to the part about a ghost pepper sending a journalist to the hospital:

Another habanero fan and self-inflicted genital burn victim here. I cook with either them or scotch bonnet peppers each week. Fresh peppers are preferred, but I also use dried ones at times. The local Stop & Shop had ghost chilies for the first time in a long while, but they all looked rotten. At least there were still a few decent chocolate habaneros in the mixed hot pepper bin. Carolina Reapers frighten me, though anything spicy is worth trying at least once IMO.
