THAT is a very hot pepper according to scoville:

www.aymanelkhidir.com

we grow habaneros and once grew scotch bonnets, but they tasted too much like lacquer. use kitchen gloves and goggles when handling these two. my husband was preparing the habaneros ONCE and put one to his nose to smell it and accidentally grazed his upper lip with it and was miserable for the better part of the rest of that day.

we still grow the habaneros...

Habernos are serious stuff. I once picked up a tiny chile off my dinner plate while in Mexico and thought, "Hmmmm, never seen one of these. Small. Can't be too bad." I actually thought I was well down the road to dying when it hit. We make lots of salsa and always wear gloves. But take the gloves off when wiping our eyes or scratching our nether regions.

I tried one once too, not on purpose, but as a sick joke pulled on my by a friend. I hallucinated it was so hot.

Bah. Nothing compares to the Guatemalan Insanity Peppers.

That's because it was strychnine and belladonna.

not terrible advice.

I told my brother to do nothing outside of what I recommended. Then on his 17th birthday I found him sitting in his underware with a blanket wrapped around him in the kitchen with my grandmother and both my parents furiously standing around him. He kept saying "I should have listened to you. I should have listened." That was an interesting day.

I still can't believe the shit people put in their bodies hoping to get high.

Habaneros are delicious. I love adding them to tomato juice (raw).

I won't play tough and pretend it's not a horribly painful experience, but the tastiness of the pepper is worth it imo.

My sister still has not done it and she just turned 40. The warning I gave her of "IF YOU HAVE SHIT ON YOUR MIND, YOU WILL DEAL WITH IT" scared her off.

lod - clean three or four and blend them up with a bottle of seasoned rice vinegar - return mixture to the bottle and use on EVERYTHING! especially good with egg and cheese dishes.

Isn't it tough to taste something when you're screaming in agony and trying to tear your tongue out of your head?

mescaline or mushrooms much better to start...from what i can remember...

Shhhhhh!!!

(actually, it was my place.)

Or maybe I've just read a little Hunter Thompson and William Burroughs?

"(actually, it was my place.)"

Here it was a place called Middle Earth.

I always stuck with Sandoz' finest.

Dayum that was 40 years ago.

It doesn't all happen at once. There's a window where you can really taste the ingredients, swallow, and then afterward run screaming into the kitchen for some ice water. =)

Sounds awesome. Do you blend up the seeds or return them whole? And do you let it age first?

I was sure you were on a first name basis with Owsley Stanley.

The, uhm, "exit wound" must be painful too.

Meh, you get used to it.

Uh.... nanc?? Don't hold out on me...

if you want it extra hot leave the seeds and membranes in - just cut the stem off - it will reach its peak in about a week afterward and stay that way - it takes about a year to use an entire bottle. it's good right out of the blender also. the seasoned rice vinegar with roasted garlic is my favorite.

p.s. - this would also make a good weapon - fill squirtguns with a mixture of water 4 to 1 - it will make a person think seventeen times before messing with you again - aim for the eyes.

no, i've never tried this, but it stands to reason.

LOL, great advice #29!

Thanks for the idea Nanc, I'm going to try that out for sure (the recipe, maybe the squirt gun). Still have Goatman's chili to do also. I'm going to be hurtin'!

stay away from open flames...don't want to increase your carbon footprint!

I think you mean carbon buttprint.

Down in Guatemala they have a pepper called the chiltepe, a green pea sized ball of fire. Ate a few and survived, wish I had the t-shirt.

Another little demon is the diente de perro, a red ball. I tasted one and it basically carved me a new stomach. I'd do it again tho.

How many mics?

Leary said you needed about 500 to really achieve lift off, 1000 and you and God would have a chat.

I dropped a 4-way of Owsley Sunshine alone and did a great deal of amateur astronomy from my dorm room, no telescope required.

Dave's ultimate insanity is a good hotsauce.

it's for sissies only.

nanc I'll eat habaneros straight all day. only sissies would be the ones you raise.

#38 | Posted by rasta

ours would clean your clock, not to mention your stool! sissy!

You can strip paint with those damn scotch bonnets.

But a good habenero is a thing of wonder.
