Spiciest Thing You've Ever Had.

[Nut-Roaster the 2nd]

One of the first foods my SO and I made was a dish lovingly referred to as Tsar Bomba Chicken. It was our first attempt at making General Tso's, but instead of the bird's eye chilies, we used 5 dried ghost peppers. The taste of it was like the aftermath of a nuke and a volcano going off at once. The pain of it was otherworldly... I could barely stomach more than two bites of it before succumbing to the agony. My SO, however, loved it.
Needless to say, I've yet to have something nearly that insane since.

I was in Ethiopia doing...stuff

Our Terp treated us to lunch, it was called Doro and it was literally like eating liquid fire, he laughed as we sputtered and tried to choke it down. Imagine pouring gasoline into your mouth then lighting it on fire. Thats Doro.

I shit blood for like 3 days no joke.

20 years later and I still remember it...I eventually learned to cook it, chicken works best, and if you don't go all macho-man Randy Savage on the spice mix its actually damn fine eats. But dont ever sit down with a Ethiopian and let him "show you the good stuff" or you'll regret it big time.

Also...just never let your Terp buy you food in general...it never ends well.

From his description it might be Szechuan -- the peppers they use have a numbing-hot effect in many dishes.

It sounds kinda like liang ban ji

It's served cold in a ridiculously spicy chili oil with tons of Sichuan peppercorn in it. The extremely spicy numbing sensation combined with the cold temperature is pretty good.

I can't think of another chicken dish I've had in Chengdu that was swimming in so much chili oil, although there are some other non-chicken dishes that are.

If you look around your grocery store, you might find 'bhuja' (or bhujah, I've seen both spellings). Joys of a global marketplace.

It's a snack mix originating in India, and while the composition isn't bad -- crackers, dried nuts, peas, noodles, etc -- it will sneak up on you. I had picked some up as it looked interesting. So one day I'm at the comp, I pour some into a small bowl, and munch as I'm farting around online.

After 3-4 handfuls I suddenly realize, 'Fuck, my mouth is burning.'

So yeah. Bhuja is good stuff but it does have a kick.

Time to make friends with an Ethiopian.

Not the spiciest, but if you like pickles and spicy, these are the bomb.

Great hangover snack

They're not gonna impress any of the chili-heads, but those Paqui ghost-pepper chips are the hottest things I've ever eaten for a reason other than morbid curiosity and/or masochism.

Made the genius decision to sample some capsaicin extract called Flashbang. Off a toothpick. First second and a half: tastes like nothing. 1.6 seconds to about a half hour later: tears, pain, regret. Didn't find out until later that the extract was rated in the millions on the Scoville scale.

The spiciest thing I actually sat down and ate was when my sister, for my dad's birthday, made some extra-spicy chili. I (as well as my dad, rest his soul) live by the motto of "if your food isn't making you sweat, you're not living" and after two spoons of it, I was drenched. Hell of it was, it was delicious on top of being ridiculously spicy. I'm not a huge fan of heat for the sake of heat, but if it blends well with something, give me the hottest you got.

I think Markiplier sampled that shit along with some friends (including Cyndago, God rest his soul). They were ALL groaning.

Was watching the new Hot Ones last night. Newest victim: Matt Damon. I looked up the data for the show's hottest sauce (The Last Dab: Apollo).

The Last Dab: Apollo joins the Hot Ones lineup as the new king of Mt. Scoville, hero of hot sauces, and crusher of celebrities and chiliheads alike. The Apollo Pepper has been carefully bred and nurtured by Guinness World Record holding chili breeder Smokin’ Ed Currie of Puckerbutt Pepper Co from prized strains of his famed Carolina Reaper and Pepper X. The Apollo brings this heritage to new heights of capsaicin, packing a more concentrated punch than any of its forebears. The flavor of The Apollo comes from the sweetness of Carolina Reaper, tinged with the earthiness of Pepper X - it’s a culinary powerhouse. The heat profile of The Apollo Pepper is akin to having your head slowly lit aflame. You feel the fire consume your entire skull, your tongue smolders, burning tears pour from your eyes. And then, five minutes later, the ride is over, your heart rate returns to normal, the panic subsides. This pepper is like no other.

The Last Dab: Apollo is the only sauce in the world made with the Apollo Pepper. This sauce is made from only The Apollo Pepper and very little vinegar. The pepper takes three forms in this sauce: fresh peppers, dried peppers, and distilled pepper oil (made using CO2 extraction, similar to how the highest quality essential oils are made).

What the fuck. A crossbreed of Carolina Reaper and Pepper X? Jesus Fucking Christ.

Tldr it's hot

Took this to work before we were all work from home to share with my fellow pepperheads. They gave out free deli style sandwiches at lunch one day and I put this stuff all over it. I felt it move through my guts for the rest of the day. I love spicy food and put hot sauce on just about everything but this shit destroyed me. 6 million scovilles is nothing to scoff at oy vey

Once, when I was younger and dumber and trying to be a real man, I went to an Indian joint with my friends and when they asked me how spicy I wanted my vindaloo from a scale of 1-5, I asked for a 6. They gave me a 6, alright. And here I am, in obvious pain, trying to gulp it all down while maintaining a calm surface, and my friends are rightfully laughing their asses off at me.

 

[Drkinferno72]

Forget the name, but there's this Jamaican ghost pepper hot sauce

Just a drop is all you need. And you'll still be hot and sweaty from the heat

Homemade Korean rice cakes except I replaced the chili paste in the recipe with this fucking abomination of a sauce as a stand-in. Worst mistake of my life.

I had much worse than that. Paqui's One Chip Challenge is like 2-3x worse than this sauce and took me 3 glasses of milk to get through it. And I also have the Blair's 3AM Reserve which is at least 4 times worse, Even the sweat from the bottle packs as much punch as this sauce. But when I get to a well defined hot sauce shop. I'll definitely get my hands on this bad boy if I had the chance. Rebel Scorpion Sauce manifested the memories I had when eating Blair's Sudden Death sauce which at the time was the hottest I had in May 2015. Boy do times change when I have better access to those kinds of sauces.

Are you some sort of fucking god? Because as much as I like spicy food, the rice cakes I made hurt me. (Dramatized but trust me on this) Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this but I added way too much of the sauce too, like a fucking idiot.

Excellent find. This sauce would be probably be hot enough to destroy me as well. I know a shop close to me that sell Mad Dog 357 Number 9 Plutonium that I may probably spend a hundred dollars on getting. Which to me is nothing because it would take me years to go through it anyways.

Compared to Chiliheads like Tedbarrus, Johnny Scoville and Hot Dang Show, I'm pretty shitty, but that wouldn't stop me from eating extremely hot food that would literally bomb the insides of my throat and stomach hence why I took the One Chip Challenge in the first place. A lot of Blair's Mega Death sauce would definitely total you, you're only meant to put a few drops of these things onto your food. Even the toughest Chiliheads wouldn't be able to drink the entire bottle in one sitting. It's a really good sauce for a food additive so long as you don't use too much of it.

I sometimes add like a small drop to my ramen when I'm feeling spicy (no pun intended), but here with the tteokbokki I decided to challenge the mercy of God and add more than a fucking spoonful all because I didn't have the chili paste needed, I absolutely understand what you mean by "as long as you don't use too much".

I knew an Indian guy that could eat absolutely anything. He had lived in India his whole life except the last 5 years and was a chef in India (not a good one). Anyways a friend of mine who was into hot food had been growing some rare peppers that were so hot that no one would touch them, and he wanted to just grow them to prove he could eat one - stupid.

Anyways one day he invites me to bring my friend over (the Indian), he gobbles the pepper and says "That's not bad!. He fucked us and told us to take the pepper and chew it to release all the juice in our mouth before swallowing. So I and my friend tried one - we chewed one each. What a mistake. We didn't know what was coming. It hurt pretty quick, but that is just how it starts.

Jesus fucking christ. It gets hotter...and hotter...and hotter...and unbelievably hotter...then numbing hot...and then death like hot...it keeps going and you are so fucked.

I nearly died. Well I felt like dying. So did my friend who had been growing them. I felt my intestines liquify and you could feel them convulse. Numbness, sweating. Sickness. When I shat the next day I felt like a poker iron was up my ass and had to take the day off work. I walked around with no underwear on for the whole day at home.

It was a Trinidad Scoprion (name of the pepper).

My friend threw the plant out. And I punched him later on.

That dish sounded so foreign I had no idea what it was.
