Silly Chilli Racers

Seems the majority of us on here share a love of bicycles and spicy food, surely we need a thread to discuss and display our manly spicy tales.

I for one keep my chilli powers in check by covering everything I eat with dried crushed whole chillies trouble is they no longer have any effect and I don't want to switch to sauces.

Clearly they do work as my wife and daughter can't even bare one seed without bursting into flames.

    I'm just about to order mussels with chilli in black bean sauce, my missus will then dissect the sauce and remove all the red chilli's and proceed to put them on my dish.

    Fiery yummyness.

    I was partial to chillies until the viper naga experience... I think I'm going to lay off for a while

    No no you've got it all wrong when you go hot you have to maintain the pace or you'll loose your powers.

    Too right ITB!

    I pile the crushed chillies on pretty much anything, beans on toast, salads, soups, fajitas.... I now buy the catering size pot from Costco to be more economical. :oops:

    My Friday lunchtime visit to Tortillas has me adding more and more Dave's Insanity Sauce each week. Some colleagues now ask how many 'drops' I'm putting on, I'm up to around 10 at the moment. Even though the mouth is getting used to it, the other end is still complaining!

    Anyway, just about to tuck into a nice Chicken Tikka Garlic Vindaloo. :)

    Naga viper was nice but Moruga Scorpion has a much better fruity flavour and even more heat. Keep having bhut jolokia sauce on everything at work but not so much fun the next day... :wink:

    May i recommend cayenne pepper. Put it on anything. Has barely any flavour, so your food still tastes the same, only now you need to keep a towel handy to mop up your streaming tears.

    Erm cayenne is one less in strength than cucumber and wtf is that 16m weapon of mass destruction surely the point is flavour and extreme heat otherwise its just chemical warfare.

    I'm just a big Jessie and can't do hot & spicy. Just got in from a ruby for a friends' 50th. I ordered something medium/hot, that was brave for me. The glass of simian semen after the meal restored order.

    Why does the left over chilli dust pack more of a punch?

    my brother-in-law starts sweating if he has Brown (daddies) sauce.

    I really don't like the after-taste that Naga Chilli varieties leave so what species should I be looking for for similar heat?

    Also now that the laws have been tightened up does anyone have a bucket chemistry method for extracting the capasaicin alkaloids?

    Surface area to volume ratio.

    I've just had a weekend of bloody Marys made with homemade chilli vodka. Lethal stuff, and devilishly delicious. Completely negates the need for something limp like Tabasco. Made a vat of deathchup last week with scotch bonnets and birds eyes, garlic, ginger and onions cooked down with some tomatoes, brown sugar and cider vinegar. Great with beef.

    Had some habanero sauce on my GBF habanero burger at lunch time, nice bit of bite could easily get very into that stuff.

    Try the scorpion varieties like Moruga Scorpion or Trinidad Scorpion or the Infinity Chillis. All pretty much as full on as the Naga.

    I need a little help from the Chilli hive-mind. I've just discovered this 09753-original.jpg and I really really like it. Trouble is, it's not hot enough.

    Anyone know of something that's still got that same glorious smoked flavour, but is say 1.5 -> 2 times as hot as that?

    Why have I only just discovered Chipotle?

    This might be a good starting point http://extremefood.com/shop/home.php perhaps the death 6-pack?

    Correct.

    Give some of this a whirl:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Franks-RedHot-O ... 242&sr=8-2

    Fairly universal as will work with meats, potatoes and even eggs. Also for those who care this is the stiff TGI Fridays use on their buffalo hot wings.

    +1 on the franks red hot cayenne sauce. That is about as hot as I go, although I pile on Jalapenos on almost everything.

    Curry on the other hand, Madras is my limit otherwise I get these....

    1. Start to hiccup lots.
    2. tongue physically hurts at the side.
    3. Nose will start to run uncontrollably.
    4. Start to sweat profusely, and as I am a slaphead I get the pespiration bullets all over head.
    5. Last stage, i start to cry. Not in a end of "The Champ" way but enough to be embarrassed.

    Like tabasco on eggs too and lurve my Wasabi, which I know is horseradish but still flavoursome and hot. :)
    I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast...

    Unless you're at least 1M scovilles you are basically riding a hybrid bicycle or worse a MTB and need to MTFU or pop over the the little 'target' cap thread and officially give up like this poor lass
