First fear. I watched a show on haunted house attractions and in one a little girl was so scared she was trying to push her way through her father. I mean this kid hit flesh and kept going! Great fun.
I watch Man vs Food, a terribly hosted yet facinating show which has a guy going to town and finding odd foods unique to them and then eating either huge amounts of food or hot food in challenges. It is pretty neat and I know Critter has done some of the challenges. Well, he's a real man and I am a wuss cuz I tried to eat a regular hot wing from the grocery store and it was too hot for me. My wife beat me in the hot wing contest we had! She ate hers while I cried and drank water. So if you can eat that hot stuff you are a stud, I am a pud. |

I can handle very hot food, going into my body. The other end is another story.

Wings is good! The Flaming Joe's here has lots of non-spicey flavors too if you don't like hot. I don't judge anyone's food tolerance or preference. Whenever I make my curries I make a hot pot and a minimum spice pot so everyone has their choice.
As long as they are happy with what they get then I am too!

You would have appreciated an evening with my friend Rich and I back in 1983. I had not had Japanese food before and we went to this place. I, being from a Latin frame of mind, saw this green stuff and assumed it was some sort of Japanese guacamole....so I dipped something into it and discovered the world of wasabi, and sat there with tears streaming and in misery. Rich stuck his egg role or whatever it was into what he thought was mint jelly (in an Asian joint?) and took a big bite and discovered one shouldn't eat and it was that fuel they light in a can and put under a pot on the table to keep it heated. He reacted worse than I did.

Aw that's nasty... and reminds me of another story...
When I was a wee critter I discovered rice candy. You know how it has that thin and semi-tranparent rice paper that is an edible part of the candy? Yeah. I dug it. Well, one time my cousin comes into the kitchen and hands me this papery thing. She told me it was rice paper and I could eat it, so I did. Well it tasted like I had just sprayed a bottle of Chanel #5 in my mouth. Turns out it was a peel of face mask that she was on her way to throw away. To this day I can not stand the smell of perfume. I will take the longest route through a department store to avoid the perfume counter.

Ahhh the joys of putting the wrong thing in your mouth. We use to go to my aunt and uncles in Pacifica Ca (they were more of grandparent types, both just passed away...married for over 70 years). I saw what I thought was seven up and grabbed it and took a slug....it was a Martini and the first and last time I ever drank one.
I'm alergic to some perfumes and avoid perfume counters as well. Went past one at Macy's and got sprayed by some idiot selling the stuff and it was one with the component I couldn't be around and my throat shut and I couldn't breath. Had to get one of those shots. |

I might be allergic but I think my physical reaction is likely based in psychological causes.
Back to gross gastronomy, I used to drink out of the hose at my Uncle's house as a kid. We were outside playing, it was convenient. One time I picked up a hose that was running and took a huge gulp. The water tasted terrible but the taste didn't hit me until after I had swallowed it. When I went inside the house I saw the other end of the hose stuck into a dirty aquarium! My Uncle was draining the aquarium to clean it. I had drunk... drunken..? drankded..? a mouthful of fish poo. My so-called "Dad" once stuck a jalapeno inside of a pickle and tricked me into eating it. I was three years old. I didn't eat pickles or hot food for a long time after that. Wow, this is turning into self psychoanalysis.

Ohhhhhhh man! Aquarium water wins!
My grandmother in Oklahoma did a french drop and acted like she ate this lil' red pepper and asked if I wanted one. Being about four I said sure and ate it. I ended up with my face in the faucet of the bath tub! My uncle lived outside the nation in Oklahoma and had sulpher water, try that for a treat. Years and years later he was digging a well and hit fresh water, the well was for his wifes garden, and for the first time he had good water. The only other food thing I can think of is when I was a drunk I went home to visit and my mom made pancakes to welcome me back. I come staggering in and sat down and out of the corner of my eye I see a brown bottle...I think beer and chugged syrup! |

My eldest is a HOT anything junkie! As a joke, Christmas 08 I gave him a bottle of "Rectal Rocket Fuel" ( hot sauce which is kept in a locked case in the store that sells it) and he uses it in ridiculous quantities on Mexican food and Pizza!
I have stories of taking bets to eat or drink something extra insano HOT in my Navy days and I still enjoy a HINT of spice these days but, I seem to be leaning more toward the wuss side of the temperature scale as I age! |

In the Carib they make a very hot sauce out of Scotch Bonnet (?) peppers which from what they tell me was the hottest they ever had, they being the salsa eaters. It would go on fish. I wouldn't try it. I like spicey food but the heat is what gets me. My best friend use to eat habinero peppers raw...he was from Texas and I don't know how he did it.

One day when I was about four years old I was snooping thru the cabinets and found a bottle with dark fluid insde, I thought it was soda and so started to swig it right down...
It was soy sauce. When 21 I walked across the street to the local Circle K and got me some munchies, a couple of chocolate cupcakes and a small container of milk. Walking back home and eating the cupscakes it was time to have a drink of ice cold milk, I started to slug it down, gulp after gulp and then stopped suddenly in shock... It was buttermilk. I Started to gag and then vomit violently in front of an elderly couple walking their dog, needless to say I didn't have the munchies after that. The dog tried to eat my vomit which made it all the worse. |

Supposed to make a habanero look like a sweet bell pepper. Been trying to find these ghost pepper chips they used to make. Never got a bag when the local world market had them but would love to try it.

Donna and I used to go this Indian restaurant now and then. She would order something, and the guy would ask how hot she wanted it on a scale of 1 to 10, and she'd say 15. Then he'd ask me, and I'd say minus 5.
She's been working on me, though. I'm still a wimp compared to her, but I can eat hotter stuff now than I ever could before. Maybe twenty or thirty more years...

My dad said when he married my mother they were heading from Oklahoma to New Mexico (he was stationed in Roswell NM) and they stopped for chili. The guy asked my mother if she wanted it hot and she said sure. My father told her that Texas had a different idea of hot but she liked hot food. So the guy brings the chili and she took a spoonful and her face went red and the waiter picked up the bowl and brought her a regular! I saw my mom eat a pepper once and she put it on her lip and her lip swelled up from the contact.....I am not a pepper guy.

My wife ordered hot Chinese food once. (I can't spell the style) She sent it back because it wasn't hot enough!
