I have here some extra spicy Wasabi peas.
They are indeed a step or two spicier than my usual wasabi peas. Wow. They hurt!
Why do I want more? Why can’t I stop?
i love the spicey flavor… but i rarely eat them because i dont enjoy a food that hurts… its just silly

-Shudders-
I can’t stand food that is just spicy, and not good flavor…
I love spicy food…My chili recipe is not complete without 3 or 4 scotch bonnet peppers. MMMMMMMMM…Heartburn.
There’s a restaurant here in Santa Clara that claims to serve the hottest food in the state. All they serve is fried chicken but it comes smothered in a BBQ sauce with seven levels of hotness, from “traditional” to “global thermonuclear”. I’ve only made it to “nuclear”, but one day I hope to make it a notch or two higher…
After I eat a couple wings with this stuff, I begin sweating. Literally. Beads of sweat trickle down the sides of my face and the back of my neck. My face alternates between white and red. My pupils dilate, my heart races, this is serious stuff. But I love it, and I keep going back for more!
There’s a “911 challenge” at the restaurant. Eat a dozen wings of a sauce that is reportedly 10x hotter than their hottest sauce… within 20 minutes… no other food or drink, no napkins. Lick your fingers clean and sit for five minutes. Winners get their picture on the wall and a free t-shirt. You gotta see these winner pictures! It looks like some of them had just been maced…
Here’s a picture of me eating some “nuclear” chicken and sweating profusely. My friend who’s blotting my forehead had just polished off a basket of 911 wings. She liked them, and she wants to go back for more. Wow. I’m such a wuss.
The expression on your face makes it looks like you were just given a swift kick in the nutz…Twice. Geez. I gotta find a place like that in my area!
i love spicy mexican food, its nice living in colorado because we seem to have an abundance of mexican restraunts that serve some of the most deliciously spicy mexican food…
im not too into hot wings, at least the ones i have had didnt have much flavor and mostly just hurt. I do love honey BBQ wings though, yum.
though spicy foods usually carry a macho image I am wondering if this not the other way round.
My mom used to eat strong mustard just “like that”; my wife when she’s hungry goes after strong pickles and I am pretty sure she can drink PH=1 vinegar like water! When I cook for her I make special “red pepper++” plate!
I do not have anodized stomach to withstand those!
last uni weekend i got like 3 wasabi peas, they were so light the supermarket couldnt charge me for them…sooo free wasabi peas for me 
I bet you’re a greape theif,too. 
How many times did you go have to back to make it a pound of free peas?
well i got away with 3, maybe could of with more 
Did you like them?
Now that I was reminded, I have started eating them already this morning. 
They are soooo hot! The wasabi is a different hot that hot pepper Capsasin hot. IT seems more water soluble. Hot pepper hot won’t wash out fast like wasabi.
From a website: on garlic chemistry:
The active ingredients of chili peppers (capsaicin) and wasabi (AITC) also excite sensory neurons by activating members of the TRP family of ion channels. Embedded in the cell membranes, these channels open and close to control the ion concentration on the inside and outside of cells.
haha i never actually tried eating them in the end…they seemed to scary for my likeing 
i like wasabi with sushi 
i’m fairly sure that with a little training i could pull that off. i worked in a burrito shop and gbuilt up quite a tolerance for spice. if i ever make it out there, i’ll have to try it.
I like spicy, but I’ve never pushed it to see how far I can go on the spicy scale.
I like it spicy enough to be flavorful.
I have not yet had anything so spicy that it wasn’t palatable to eat. I have gotten 5 star Thai food and it was not too hot, but 5 star at one restaurant is not the same as 5 star at some other places.
I sometimes get the habanero hot sauce at Mexican places and the food has always been palatable. But then again, I don’t know how much the sauce has been toned down.
Once upon a time I lived in Guadalajara. In central Mexico there are a jillion “chiles”. My all time favorite for hot and flavour is chile de arbol. There are a few which are hotter but for the most part tasteless--------just hot. Arbol has the advantage that as you “load up” new and more exotic flavours become evident. This is particularly true if they are toasted slightly before use.
In my experience an additional benefit of arbol is that there is no “burning ring of fire” syndrome the next day, not even abd. cramping. If you really over-do it though there will be burning at urination.
Arbols are a dried chile. If you want a fresh chile for pico-de gallo etc. you can’t go wrong with serrano---------very hot with a slight "minty?"taste. YUMMY / DROOL.
My dreams have been answered!
I grew my own peppers once.
Once.
Turns out, if you keep them on the plant until they’re ripe, they get a whole lot hotter than what you get at the store. I grew some habaneros. I disposed of a few in homemade chili. The juice soaked into my fingernails and burned for a week. When I rinsed off the cutting board, the steam maced me. So I took the rest of the habaneros to work.
Coworkers tried them, and there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth. The Manliest of the bunch realized that such a man as he should not be harmed by a sissy little vegetable, so he seized the largest of the bunch, and attempted to eat it whole. Such a man as he sprayed it across the floor, and ran outside to weep and gnash in the privacy of a rainstorm for a full half hour. Satisfied in a job well done, I have never grown my own peppers again.
Thanks for t he tip!!! I am growing several ypes of chilis this summer!
Fresh habaneros are not for beginners.
Friends of mine once bought a “cute little bell pepper” and put it in their chilli.
Luckily they where warned when the steam from the pot made their eyes water.
