I eat very spicy food, often. I also own (and use) this: However, while this is allegedly the hottest sauce in the world, the hottest food I had was in an Indonesian restaurant. When I ordered it, the cook came out of the kitchen and asked if I was sure. And it was ridculously hot, it basically was a mixture of beef and chili - but here's the thing: no bum burning, at all. I honestly don't know why that is, but I guess it's a clever combination of spices. Since then, I think that every dish that burns twice was badly cooked, basically.

I do eat hot food but I can't remember the last time I had a ringstinger. I've either desensitised or I've started to learn which stuff hits me that way.
I do find myself watching Man vs Food and wondering if the food he's crying over is really *that* bad.gif)
That's a different topic though. His toilet exploits after eating those 5lb sandwiches must be extreme enough to justify a show on their own -

Registered 16 years agoI made a very hot madras curry last night, I haven't accidentally made one too spicy for a while but this was a humdinger, there has been no issues at all today. To be fair, I eat spicy food almost every night of the week so I guess I'm immune somewhat these days. -

That is very funny to read but I really sympathise. I thought I had it bad after a few too many chilli peppers on the pizza, the stomach pain and the couple of hours of really burny runs. Eurgh. But fuck me yours does sound genuinely horrific
I've done the "worlds hottest" hotdog. It was excruciating eating it - the second it touches your lips you break out in sweat, your eyes and nose water, and you get instant hiccups and shakes as your body goes into overdrive. Each of the 4 mouthfuls felt like swallowing glass, and it burns your skin a bit so I was left with a very red mouth.
That was nothing compared to the day after which is easily the most painful day of my life to date. I would have taken myself to hospital to get stomach pumped had I been able to move. It was like pissing acid and shitting lava. My stomach hurt, walking hurt because of the movement of your arse cheeks and I had to keep checking I wasn't pissing myself because it was all numb down there from the fire piss. Loo breaks were every 20 minutes for about 12 hours, and I dreaded every single one of them because it hurt so much. I was running wads of toilet paper under the cold tap before wiping.
I don't do drunken food challenges anymore.
And hilarious.

Registered 16 years agoActually, the only time I do get a dodgy stomach, excessive gas and a burning sensation is jalapeņos on pizzas. Odd really as they're not even really that hot. -

I was tempted to do the 72 oz steak at the Big Texan. I could actually do it, but figured it was smarter not to when driving the next day. It's the recovery that's the problem. -
Bought some dried ghost peppers off an Amazon trader. Essentially they constitute Police riot grade Mace -

EGGS?
I feel your pain I find immodium and eggs can stop it to some extent, but you're gonna have to ride it out.
You shove EGGS up your arse to stop ring sting? -

Registered 13 years agoMilk helps to prevent the capsaicinoids from binding with pain receptors on your skin, so the most obvious solution would involve 4 pints of milk and a turkey baster. A real man would give himself a post curry lactate enema without a second thought. -

I'm not aware of any spices that need to be cooked to stop them making you ill. I know some spices must be added early to give them time to infuse, and some mustn't be put in too early as they'll burn and denature.

I'd have thought the other ingredients improperly cooked would be more likely to give you the squits.
Also, I guess people can build up specific gut flora, and eating significantly different food for the first time in a while could change the environment significantly enough to have a detrimental effect on the population at least temporatily. But curry really isn't that foreign a concept - onions, lentils, tomato, bit of meat and only a percent or two by weight of spices at most, I'd have thought. Shouldn't be that much of a shock to anyone with an even a vaguely balanced diet. -

I hda an Ethiopian Curry fom Greenwich market a few weeks back. Not hugely spicy and all was going well until that evening, where halfway through the film I received an urgent warning and lost about 5 stone to the toilet in no more than 30 seconds. +1 only because I know that pain, but I tell you what, afterwards you feel like an athlete. -

If the correlation was formed within western culture I would be thinking about the oil and congealed butter that takeaway indian food is cooked in more than the chillis themselves. -
I'm mainly asking because most of the digging I've done seems to keep turning up the 1993 Mexico survey, and as far as I can tell no one's been able to reproduce that result, and besides their methods are a little bit iffy (asking people in hospital with stomach cancer whether they ate chili), especially if you try to extrapolate from it.
Edit: @DarkMorgado Ta. Yes, that seems to agree with what I've found via my own google-fu.
