There is one thing for sure: It will spice up a person's life.
Trust me. It works.
Do you eat it or sit in it?
I don't know about Dave's Insanity Sauce...but I usually snort pepper spray...one shot each nostril. I'm out for a day, then blind for a week.
Come on ice cream!!!!
Yeah right, are you saying there will come a day
when some man, some where, won't say
"Hey watch this"
Try these out!!
When they come out you start singing(screaming) death metal.
I grow the Red Savinas in my yard. Trust me, those boys are the real thing. NEVER put the rinds down your garbage disposal, it's like Napalming the house.
Sticks in mind that we had a discussion about that years ago here and the general consensus was that unless you had some kind of weird pre-existing sensitivity, that extremely hot food wouldn't kill you. Might make you wish you'd never been born, but that's it. There was one faction arguing that stomach damage may result, but it was inconclusive.
They do wonders for your metabolism and respiratory system. I swear by them.
At a temp assignment I had, a guy had a bottle of some insane novelty hot sauce of this sort, with a Scoville rating in the millions. I put a drop of it on my tongue.
I thought I'd been teargassed. Unless you're making a swimming pool full of chili- it is useless.
I disagree. When I was in the restuarant industry you would periodically get the jerk at the bar that can take "any heat". A couple drops of Dave's Insanity in the shake bucket with the regular sauce was plenty to get every one of them to surrender.
Great revenge on the tough guy at a party as well.
It does come in handy.
Maybe you should eat a little ice cream first, then a tiny bit of pepper, then a little more ice cream if you know what I mean.
Try it both ways and decide.
I don't know about stomach damage , I hope not. I don't eat the things, but I had an uncle who pickled every type of hot pepper he could get his hands on. Kept jars of them on his kitchen table and munched them like popcorn. They certainly desensitized his taste, he had to eat hotter and hotter ones to taste them at all. I don't think he COULD taste regular food.
He always had a couple of Louisiana cayenne bushes in his yard. I have some now. My nephew is into really hot food too, but he picked one of those little suckers off the bush and popped in his mouth to show off.
His reaction was incredible. I thought he would hyperventilate, kept putting ice cubes into his mouth, drank milk, everything! He was red-faced and numb-mouthed for quiet awhile. Said it was the hottest thing he'd ever come across.
If anything is hotter than that, it's not a food- it's a weapon.
A friend of mine cut up some hot peppers and the skin on his fingers peeled off. It wouldn't heal. The new skin would dry out, crack, and peel off. He put salve on them and rubber glvoes over it. It took several months before the skin came back normal.
I was checking out Blair's hot sauces, there were some 'limited edition' ultra-concentrates that were in fancy perfume bottles for very high prices. We're talking pure capsicum. It would be dangerous to ever open the bottle...let alone cook with it.
Now that will clean the worms out of you.
As an aside, the Mayor of Casterbridge was one of those things I read as an adolescent that made me think literature had something to say.
