Hottest thing you have eaten?

Re: Hottest thing you have eaten?

I live in the United States and go to Indian restaurants every now and then. I like hot and spicy, but the Indians don't take me seriously. They usually have a range of heat starting with 1 (mild) and advancing to 10 (hottest). I tell them to bring me an 11. What I get is certainly hot, but not particularly challenging. I know hotter is possible because many years ago I got a vindaloo in Cardiff, and it near took my head off. Perhaps it helps to have a historical connection to India for the natives to take you seriously.

I agree with this.
I did get a hot one on NYC once though.

I must have at least a hundred Indian Restaurants here now.
Many are authentic and regional.
I don’t find them close to spicy here at all.

Re: Hottest thing you have eaten?

I’ve had a Phaal, vindaloo etc if done well they can be nice but some you can just tell they just chuck in a load of Cayenne Pepper or Chilli powder. My general go to is a Madras. I find the Naga type curries can be hot but can have a tang.

I did have something called a Bindaloo once, only seen it once, probably a reason for that Jeezzz I can’t describe how hot it was, the burn wouldn’t go either lol.

Mr Naga is great stuff.
Some controversy though if it is safe or not.

yeah of all the people I've ever encountered with zero tolerance to spice, by far the worst have been Americans.

Some go a lot for hot sauces on wings and that.
Some of the sauces could make your toes curl.
Not for me.

I find that the Thai food here is significantly spicier than Indian food.
A Kaprow or even Drunken Noodles can get your nose running and your mouth tingling quickly.

Anyone try Chilli Daddy in Bristol?
They had a place in Clifton and in the centre.
Loaded with Szechuan Peppercorns and chilli flakes which numb your mouth a bit and then a nice reasonable heat after.

I keep looking at this thread and seeing "hottest thing you've ever seen". Madonna in the "Beautiful Stranger" video. The song was totally ripped off "She Comes in Colors" by Love in my opinion. But whatever, I'd rather **** her than Arthur Lee.

She looked lovely in that Beautiful Stranger video and Ray of Light.
Better than her earlier looks IMO.

Re: Hottest thing you have eaten?

I spent many years in SE Asia. A dish called Sur Longhai (thai dish) translated to 'Crying Tiger' . Grilled beef with a very spicy but tasty dipping sauce.
I remember telling people in the late 80s onwards about Thai food and Sriracha sauce which originates from the town of Sriracha on Eastern seaboard. Nobody was interested. I predicted Thai cuisine would become popular in UK. Again nobody was interested. These days. Thai spicy seafood soups, Green and Red curries are all over the place, and people rave about it. Funny old thing.
Sriracha sauce is nice with mayo, as has been mentioned above by my old mate Splott P. However, if you add a bit of soy sauce or asian seasoning sauce in with it, it is great as a dip for steamed mussels.

These days even the definitely milder Sriracha is something of a struggle for me

I put too much of it as the heat provider in a Mexican chilli the other week and it rinsed me
