I just had chili paste fried rice from the thai joint around the corner, and I got a terminal case of the hot tongue!

Um, I should try to make this thread useful.

What's the hottest (as in spicy) food you've ever eaten? Did you hurt yourself? Would you do it again? ANSWER ME!!!!

Meanwhile, I'm gonna go blow fire at my cat until my mouth cools off.

I'm Thai.

If you could hear me laughing at your ass right now.

put your tongue on the cold tiles on the floor, that's what our dog used to do on hot days.

kiss of fire is nothing compared to the ring of fire later beware!!

Imago said:

kinda like when i laugh at your gay threads!

Imago said:

Correction: quasi-Thai.

Anx said:

ee!

That's the worst!

I don't remember the hottest, but just this last weekend they opened up a new global market in Mpls (which we're taking you to we decided, BTW) and we had the yummiest Nepali food and Darin and I shared this thing that was half a raw cucumber (split length-wise) just spread with this spicy stuff. BOY HOWDY was it hot! HOT! And I'd already finished my Mexican coke! I thought I was gonna die.

My husband & I went for Thai food one night. He got Red Curry and asked for it HOT- which he always does but this place was REALLY hot!
Mine was intense too- think I got green curry..
It was so hot that it made us sick to our stomachs- that has never happened to ne before I usually like it really hot but this was way too hot.. sickening hot..
I felt like I was going to vomit from the heat..

I like my food hot and spicy!

me too, but everyone else in my family is such a wuss

Yeah. . . you know those dried peppers that you sometimes get in "Asian" food? They're prolly an inch or so long, bright red. . . not the hottest ever, but pretty hot.

My mom dared me to eat some, and offered ten bucks a pop. I think I ate three? Man, it hurt for a long time, but. . . you know. . . 30 bucks. . . whatchagonnado. . .

Anx said:

I'm not butch about it at all, but I can stand some spice. I'm pretty tolerant, actually, considering.
But yes! The global market is my new fave thing in mpls.

the absolute WORST experience i ever had with hot food was at a dinner party, where a friend of mine garnished our dishes with one of those little plum tomato looking green peppers...i thought it was cute, so i popped it into my mouth, and OH. MY. GOD.

i really thought i was going to have to go to the emergency room.

there were tears and snot and drool running down my face and i emptied two quarts of milk straight from the carton and i was STILL in pain from it.

and i don't have to go into detail about the extremely memorable restroom moments the next day, i'm sure...

suck on an ice cube for instant though temporary relief

HereToRockYourWorld said:

ooh, i like those peppers. i had to condition myself, though.

Imago said:

someone help me...

ZombieKitten said:

not with those little green tomato pepper MFs...it's like sticking a wasp's nest in your mouth.

ZombieKitten said:

Water actually makes it worse. It spreads the hot around in your mouth. Milk or bread or alcohol or rice tend to be best cause they'll take the hot down with them.

ZombieKitten said:

I have to put up with that, too.

Anx said:

actually yogurt or bread may help you out better.

the heat from the peppers comes from oil and the water or the ice just washes the oil around your mouth. yogurt or bread will sop it right up.

CarrieMpls said:

water yes, but an ice cube numbs your tongue so you can't feel it spread areound all over your mouth. Fizzy drinks just hurt because of the bubbles

TMPletz said:

i grew up in the midwest where flavored foods are illegal, so i had to deal with it too.

Milk seems to help the best for me.
