What's the spiciest thing you've ever eaten?

[srebbe64]

My kids dragged me to a "Nandos" today - never been to one before. Well on the menu you have four different levels of "spicieness" and, being fond of all things hot and spicy, I went for the top level (Defcon 4).

I have never had such a culinary shock in all my life. I cried real tears. I will NEVER put myself though such agony ever again. Anyone else eaten anything that extreme?

Did you want a Large Girl's Blouse with that, Sir....or are you happy with the one you're already wearing?

[Olf]

I take it you paid with someone elses credit card?

Oh dear that really is a Perry Como moment.

Try eating Sri Lankan food if you want to really experience hot food. That stuff is so potent, you'll have an arse like a brake light for days afterwards.

Kebab meat. I don't feel the need to eat things which cause pain!

I don't think kebab meat is at all spicy.

Believe it or not, our local Hungry Horse restaurant used to do a dish called "The hottest Chilli in the world". I've been around a bit & thought they must be joking but Christ, the sauce that came with it was almost impossible to eat!

2 of our party had to rush to the toilet after just a taste. It was made from habanero peppers and was hardly diluted. My god it was strong!

[markmullen]

Dave's insanity sauce, variously stated at 50k-80k scovilles (Tobasco sauce is 7-8k scovilles)

I think a distinction needs to be made between eaten and tasted. Tasting a spot of hot sauce is hardly the same as eating a full hot curry, or a few super hot chillies.

In a US there's a chain called Big Bowl where you put together a dish of ingredients and the chefs there turn it into a stir fry of your own making.

One colleague of Indian/Singaorean descent always went for a notably spicy concoction but on one occasion appeared to out-do himself. I should have paid more attention the way in which he suddenly stopped talking, developed a slight twitch and silently necked a large glass of iced water whilst the beads of sweat on his forehead glistened brighter and brighter...

Instead, we started to take the mick, at which point he offered us some of his food. Now - I love spicy curries and chili, but this was something else. For all of about two seconds after taking the spoonful, it was funny. Then it became painful and not funny at all. My eyes were watering, my nose was running. My mouth felt like it had been riped apart and my lips sliced with razor blades. The heat was like *nothing* I'd had before. Took about 20 minutes before I could even taste my own food.

Then, panic set in when I realised that I would have the exit wound to look forward to sometime later.
