People say americans are lousy at eating spicy food. Only mexicans and asians can.

I saw that once, when an american friend of mine ate traditional guacamole, which is spicy, his tongue almost fell off.

Or am I wrong? How's your relationship with spiciness?

im american and out of all the people i know im the biggest spice fanatic.

I haven't done anything too dangerous becoz im not crazy, but I have eaten a habanaro pepper.

The list of imaginary shared traits grows once more

Pretty tolerant. I often add hot sauce or spicy Asian chili paste or curry paste to my food. I tend to do that jet intake thing, though, when I use too much. fffooooooohhhh. It's how I learned to whistle while inhaling! But I'll still keep eating it and just do that between bites.

i'm hispanic and don't particularly like spicy food
get at me

Ever heard of Dave's Insanity Sauce?

American excessiveness at its most awesome.

I cannot find substantiation, but I have heard of deaths resulting from idiots chugging the stuff.

It's made from pure capsaicin extract, as well as other flavors.

I had just the plain old flagship Dave's Insanity like nine years ago, and it was the tip of a toothpick dipped in it, and it was RIDICULOUSLY hot.

And I've eaten a bigass, juicy, seedy habanero before.

On my 21st birthday I had a glass of vodka (like 2-3 shots in a tumbler), with a few drops of Dave's Jolokia Ghost Pepper sauce in it and, had I not already been godawfully smashed on all the free drinks I had already had, it would have been Agonizing. Like face numb with pain hot.

Talk about white bros being all about oneupsmanship to the most self-destructively extremes.

On the other hand, some people like the spice, I like it, there's nothing wrong with liking extremes as long as it's not just plain stupidity.

Just as an aside, and an add-on, this is what hotsauceworld.com has to say about the gallon jug of Dave's:

The only sauce ever banned from The National Fiery Foods Show. Dave's Insanity Sauce is probably the most famous gourmet hot sauce in history. It is a great cooking ingredient for sauces, soups and stews. Dave's Insanity Sauce also strips waxed floors and removes driveway grease stains.

Am I remembering incorrectly, or are you not the girl who finished a 72 Oz steak in five minutes?

5 1/2 as I recall. I rarely eat any beef, but when I do...and when it's a challenge. THAT SHIT IS MINEEEEE

In light of this fact (I could get maybe two pounds of steak done in maybe fifteen to twenty minutes), if you say that a sauce is the most brokenly hot you've had, then I sincerely and precautiously trust that that sauce is hot as fuck.

I love Sting n' Linger's mascot/logo too; The big, aggressive, confident bee blasting his stinger forward, and then the "what the fuck am I a victim of" discombobulated-looking bee as if he were you after you underestimated the aforementioned bee.

Clever mother fuckers.

It's 1 million scoville, and for a hot sauce, that's fucking hot. I've had my share of hot sauces, this one just...takes the cake. But I love it.

I think I need help though. >_>

Yes, anyone who can take a hundred hits of LSD, eat a pound of mushrooms, smoke an ounce of 90% THC marijuana extract, or eat a serving of 1,000,000 scoville hot sauce in one sitting probably needs some help. Whether it's professional counseling, or simply a reappraisal of their goals and purposes.

Not that any of the aforementioned are automatically unhealthy.

Girl, you like eating pepper spray, you go ahead and go for it :)

i have a friend who gets at me for not liking jalapenos i think they taste weird alone.
and i like spicy food its ok just that i regret it later

I love spicy food. Maybe because I grew up down South in Texas/Oklahoma, where the state food is spice.

Do you mean because of the burning ring of fire?

Maybe different cultures have different foods and palates.

Crazy, I know.

You're wrong. The craziest spicy-fanatics I've known were all white americans. Cayenne overload and ghost pepper alike...shit makes me sweat but I enjoy it...I don't quite enjoy rubbing my eyes afterwards, but I genuinely enjoy the taste. I also love curry and thai food as well as jalapenos.

Being able to eat "really spicy" food is a shitty superpower.

My type have a natural immunity to spicy foods.

I have plenty of American friends who love spicy food.

You are spreading lies.

The various sauces by Heartbreaking Dawns have cool labels.

This stuff is delicious. While it has Trinidad scorpion peppers and scotch bonnet peppers, the mixture of all the ingredients isn't that hot compared to some stuff I've had before.

I like hot fries, most asian spices arent really spicy.

I was just remembering how when we were little kids, I saw my best friend drink jalapeño hot sauce from the bottle like a soda. blagh.

Ouch. I've had spicy food come out painful later several times. Makes you want to sit in the sink.

Dude, some Asian stuff can burn your throat good.

I second this. I can handle most things spicy, but Asian spicy is a whole other level of spicy.

Sometimes, it's like a different kind of spicy that just goes right to your throat. And using a large enough amount of wasabi can really hit you in the nose and the back of the head without even burning your tongue much.
