I'm talking about scalp sweat inducing, nose running, ear ringing hot. Cryin' to momma and fearing the next day poo hot. There really isn't an 'American' food that I've had that was too hot. I haven't encountered a 'Hot' wing that is too hot for me, and I haven't had any kind of legendary chili that made me cry. Same goes for Mexican or Tex-Mex food, and that's with the chef's secret hot sauce that they don't usually give to gringos. The hottest thing I've had was made by a guy from Trinidad that I know- just a home made hot sauce. It was spicy as hell but still didn't incapacitate me. I've tried some hot Indian and Thai foods, but they're still not that hot. It could be because I had them from restaurants most of the time where they make them mild for general consumption. Let's hear some personal experiences, not the results of a Google search.
You've tried this stuff? If so, what other hot stuff do you eat? Predominantly Finnish. Doesn't get much whiter than me.
Anything with Ghost Chili in it. It might be puke-inducing heat, though. The extract linked above it pure extract (mostly capsaicin) and doesn't really have taste other than BURNING since it's just an additive. If you want taste, mostly any hotsauce derived from ghost chili will be the hottest.
I would say WASABI. This here bottle has made me HICCUP from the heat its chiles pack... EVERY TIME. - http://andromedas28.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/salsa-chile-habanero1.jpg I don't think so. I am not sure who the heck is in charge of doing the "HOT" scale on U.S. and A. companies' salsa bottles. I mean, to most United Statesians, "HOT" is mild to us Mexicans. Who is doing the scale, Biff Douglas?
Not sure if this counts. Asking "what is the spiciest food" you ever had then mentioning a spice/sauce, is like asking what's the sweetest or saltiest food you've had and saying sugar and salt is. Hell, why not just mention habanero oil extract that you can get at the Austin Hot Sauce festival. anyhow, sounds like you love hot food. one of my best friends never found any Asian hottest enough at a restaurant, and he would have to always ask for more peppers/spices on the side. But he was polite so he wouldn't ask for the extra spices until after trying the dish. I used to always tell the waiter, "if you can make it hot enough for him on the first try, I'll give you $20" and then I'd place a bill on the table. No one ever won that bet.
I've heard of a Hamburger in a joint in San Antonio that has these. It's called the four horsemen. There are tons of videos on Youtube. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8zIZl83-y08?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8zIZl83-y08?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> I find the hot sauce that you posted fairly mild. I love wasabi with sushi. That's a good point. But it was the hottest thing I've had, so I felt compelled to list it. Trinidad Hot Sauce.
I've had a couple of homemade habanero sauces in Central America (Belize, Guatemala, Honduras) that were ungodly hot.
Yeah, the guy on Man vs. Food actually went there. He beat the challenge, yeah, but he was in obvious pain (not even the acting pain that he has to employ sometimes). As far as actual food goes, the Ghost Chili is truly the hottest "edible" thing on the planet. I don't consider chili extract actually food.
Seconded. Ive had this, pain inducing heat, that is the only way to describe it. Burned for hours, felt like molten lava was going through my system. No normal human can eat this without destroying a part of his natural system.
here's some of the rather silly habanero extracts that make appearances (renting booths) at the Austin hot sauce festival. http://www.thescarms.com/hotstuff/extracts.htm these are not food. But I can say, mix any more than a few drops of the hotter ones in this list into a hamburger patty, well, good luck. the amount of effort that goes into extracting this from habaneros is silly. plus, it looses it's flavor, which one of the greatest things about a habanero vs any other hot pepper. imso.
Try London Sizzler. They make some of the hotter indian curries made popular in London. Also Wolfies on FM1960 offers some insanely hot hot wings called 'the Johnathan'. I didnt try them, but my homie could only finish two of them. http://silverleafinternational.com/ is somewhat local and offers Ghost Pepper salsa. I'm assuming you want to enjoy the food, and not looking to taunt someone who lost a bet.
http://store.davesgourmet.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=45 There was a store in Dallas that sold nothing but hot sauce. I asked the guy that worked there about this stuff. He said that after adding one drop to his salsa, it was so hot, he had to close the store for about a 1/2 hour and recover. It's sold/shipped in a coffin. That should give you some idea...
Thai Hot at Thai Gourmet. Go try that and you'll know what hot is. On a similar note, I noticed this today at Central Market and thought about picking it up. Anyone tried it? I like their other salsas:
