Ghost Pepper Burrito Challenge Sends Man to Hospital

Habanero Sam's is in the the oceanside community of Hermosa Beach, California. The guy collected the $50 bucks for completing the challenge, but what this news story leaves out is an eyewitness statement by a teenage boy that the they guy was, "barfing his guts out like crazy" before the cops in the restaurant called the paramedics. Hilarious.

It is pure evil. You would have to eat a bushel of Jalapenos to even come close. Do not try one of these at your local pub.

LOL at this video. What kind of nation celebrates a record so moronic as rubbing chili peppers in their eyes?

Oh, right. I live in the US where we celebrate our independence day with a hot dog eating contest

Idiot

Ingesting peppers can be bad enough.

Young ladies who ask their boyfriends to slice peppers will often learn to never do that again once the night wears on and the evening's entertainment commences.

I used to go to a farmer's market wherein one of the vendors had over a dozen varieties of chilipepers on sale. I bought a few of each once and chopped them all up for some adventuresome spaghetti sauce once. Once!! My throat burned so bad, my eyes watered .. and I still don't know which particular chili pepper it was.

I've heard there are people who don't react to capsacin (capsacium?), the active substance in peppers that makes them "hot."

In any case I should try this ghost chile one of these days. I'm curious as to what it tastes like.

The jolokia is truly insane. I can handle scotch bonnets and habaneros, just barely; and at my age, I don't really want to anymore, anyhow. The jolokia is like living Dave's Insanity Sauce. I have a bottle of hot sauce made from it; I used it once. It's pretty flavorful, but the other Melinda's sauces are just as good and not as hot.

I don't want to say words I'll have to take back, but I can handle habaneros just fine. I'll leave it at that for the time being.

There's a matter of dosage, too. When making chili sauce it can get complicated. For example, my morita salsa is very tasty, but has barely any sting to it (well, by my standards). The morita just isn't very hot, but it has a very distinct flavor. I've tried adding other chilies, both fresh and dried, but they don't mix well.
