Ghost Chili Sauce -- Don't do it!!!

[stevem50]

once it gets that hot, milk will curdle instantly, and find its way back out the way it came!

question?- whats worse.... intensely burning mouth, OR brief relief followed immediately by tossing up gasoline fire hot chunky yogurt...

either way its gonna be bad, if you are gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough, right?

Milk will curdle? Seriously? Chilis aren't hot to the touch, are they? Just to the taste buds.

You can probably guess, I never felt the need for b@lls.

Chop up a bunch of jalapenos and then go pee pee without washing first. Mr. Happy will, suddenly, become Mr. Angry

Its the Capsaicin in chillis what does it. I think its oil based, so something like lemon juice should in theory rinse the oil off your tongue.

[stevem50]

bread is the only effective remedy with no side effects that i know of. liquids, water, beer, etc... just spread the hot around. think grease fire!

later, after the burn is ending, a milk or cream will help break it down so it won't burn so bad "later" if you know what i mean.

if you drink milk straight away, there is so much acid in your stomach trying to deal with the burn, it attacks everything, and boom- you are heaving!

[DrCrash]

I have to disagree.


Drink milk. There's a protein found in milk called casein that acts like a detergent against capsaicin.[1] It'll actually pull the capsaicin compounds away from the nerve receptor binding sites in your mouth. Drink at least a half cup, making sure you rinse your mouth well first.[2] You can spit it out, but you won't get as much relief in your throat that way.

All of these remedies are fine, I guess, but there is a greater issue here. It like sticking your tongue into a light socket, bathing with a hair dryer, changing your fanbelt with the engine running, etc. If you are willing to eat something that causes that much pain and require some salve or nostrum to ease your suffering, perhaps it's time to sit down and re evaluate your decision making abilities.

people who say drink milk have never had the fun of a ghost or a viper... go ahead, give it a try. i bit a 1/4" off the end of a viper, and it burned so bad my ear drums hurt!

my own fault, fun of working in a kitchen- "its not that bad, try it"

[CarlLaFong]

I grow jalapenos in my garden, here at The Fongderosa, and I use them in everything that is appropriate. Like Clint said, "A man's got to know his limitations." I know mine. No Scotch bonnets, vipers, ghosts for me.

[stevem50]

i grow hab's and scotch bonnet's in mine- if you pickle them first to pull some of the heat out, they make a great popper. hot, but not terrible

[CarlLaFong]

I cut my extra peppers in half and toss 'em in the jar with the dill pickles. It doesn't really pickle them, but they are a bit cooler and last longer

He's not dumb, just young. He's a pretty smart guy. He was VERY hesitant, but had enough peer pressure to push him over the top. Who doesn't want to see someone eat ghost chili sauce.

I have no doubt he will NOT try that again.

Okay, when I posted this, I did not intend it to be a bashfest. I know this guy, he's a good guy, and it was, after all, a dime sized drop of sauce.

Cut the man some slack. We have ALL done things we regret after doing it.
