I like hot food. However, people should be advised that the Wild Buffalo Wings Atomic (IIRC) Wings are near lethal. My husband was laughing at me, at first, as my face turned red. He then started to become concerned when the sweat began. By the time I was unable to finish eating the order, he actually had his keys out and was about to take me to the ER.
I suffered no lasting ill effects, but be aware that when they say *hot*, they mean it.
Yep, I love hot foods, but for me, somewhere about the habanero level (100,000-300,000 Scoville units) is my upper threshold for where the heat transitions from a serious flavor enhancer to mild torture. When I push into that territory or sometimes a little beyond I always have copious amounts of ice cream or frozen yogurt on hand, lol.
Hi Ref! I’m sorry to hear about your experience. That’s scary! It’s funny to me that you and Joe brought up BWW. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their boneless blazin’ wings - and actually crave them at times, which tells me that my body must be needing them for whatever reason. Anyway, on one occasion, I wasn’t careful and somehow got a small bit of the atomic in my eye. I wanted to die. My darling wifeee laughed as my face turned bright red and tears gushed from both eyes. My face was contorting as the server approached the table and tried to be sweetly consoling - as she obviously thought I was sobbing over bad news. My wife just busted out laughing and heads turned our way as I pitifully sobbed back “I..I...I got sauce.. Sauce... My eye!! Owweeeee!”. Pathetic.
A few years ago I dated a lovely woman..who has a passion, nay, a craving, for the HOTTEST food..she eats a scotch bonnet like I eat a plum. She actually carries a little container of hot chili powder to sprinkle on her food. So, on our second date, we’re out to dinner..having a lovely time...I noticed her adding the chili to her food, but didn’t think much of it..that night, I take her home,..we liked each other from our first meeting..so, there’s a pretty passionate kiss, tongues probing..and after about 15 seconds, my lips and tongue BEGIN TO BURN......I start sweating like I’d just run a 10k..it was wild..
Thanks for the info.
