Drunken Monkey Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 there's a chinese chicken wing dish that is 50%fresh red chillis. surprisingly, it's called something that roughly translates as 'hot chicken'.... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
DLopez Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 Every year in Katy, Texas, there's a hot sauce festival that features some of the hottest sauces you can buy, and get free samples! This past year, I sampled one called "Death by Stupidity". On the back label, it says "This product does not really kill you, but you will wish it did". I like hot food, but this was so hot, it only tasted like 1000 degrees farenheit!!! DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.

GrrrArg Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 would presume your dream simply means that you are weird. Its funny when people who dont normally eat spicy food try some quite hot chillies, get burned and try to make it better with a glass of water...

Drunken Monkey Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 as every curry addict here will tell you, lager is the natural cure for too much chilli. the scientists will tell you otherwise but ignore what they say. they work for the yoghurt companies! post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Beka Posted June 13, 2004 Author Posted June 13, 2004 No, water makes it worse. The chili is an oil, it won't do a dang thing. Something about milk makes it take the sting off. I guess ice cold water could help a *little* bit, since part of the capsacin thing is that it actually gives a person the sensation of heat, temperature wise. If you were to rub it on your arm, you would feel warm. So, cold water might act to help just a teeny bit in that respect, but really, it might make it worse. cold milk or sour cream or yogurt, even chocolate, would help.
angelica d Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 My fiance dared me to eat a whole chilli once, and I did (what a loon!). I had to drink a 2 litre bottle of Lilt, a jar of a yoghurt dip, and lots of Baileys on ice - and my mouth still burned! I think the baileys helped the most though. After all that, the only difference was that on top of the burning sensation, I had really bad stomach aches! Beka, I shouldn't worry about having weird, deranged dreams, I often do too. Once in a dream, my MA friend was arrested and I helped her escape from prison and we fled to Maxico. A man that looked like Agent Smith was chasing us in a black Jaguar and we were in a transit van! I only realised it was all a dream when suddenly I found myself hotwiring 3 cars! I was like - 'Hey, wait a minute! I can't do that!'

DLopez Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 I've found that it's usually the first few bites that "bite", when eating spicy foods. I just love stuffed jalapenos, and the first one usually lights me up pretty good, but subsequent ones just don't seem to pack the same kick as the first one. I guess that's what's c"comfortably numb". Hehe! Just realized we've hijacked Beka's dream thread with all this talk of spicy foods...

Beka Posted June 15, 2004 Author Posted June 15, 2004 That's okay... I don't mind a discussion of one of my several passions in life. I always find the first bites (in a truly spicy dish) to be warming and awesome, but as things keep going, and the capsacin just sits in my mouth, accumulating and accumulating, *that's* when we run into trouble. Plus, it's difficult to tell at a certain point if your mouth is burning because of the chili, or just the high temperature of the food.
