I typically enjoy pretty spicey foods, but last night was not something I would describe as "enjoyable" :D.

A few of my friends.... and wife... were giving me a hard time trying to get me to do the Insanity wing challenge at the new wing place at Northlake. I finally gave in and placed the order, now it gets a little interesting here because they make you sign a waiver and wear gloves to eat this. Once the plate is brought out it looks like pure lava, the wing "sauce" was more like a habenero hell paste.

I took one bite and my lips instantly turned bright red and my eyes went bloodshot. Hahaha. Other people in the restaurant started cheering, so now I felt obligated to finish. The second bite was the worst and it stayed at that level until I finished. The heat was crazy, it burned solid for about 15 minutes without any letup. Finally, at the 20 minute mark I could feel the death grip of the spice letting off of in the tiniest of increments. About every 5 minutes there after it slowly got better. Then about hour later the indigestion kicked in, and that has stayed with me for 21 hours. I can still taste sauce.

Not a huge fan of these things (spicey challenges), but my 18 month old son was there and I had to show him how real men torture themselves.

Anyone else have a miserable food challenge to share???


:bounce2:
 
i normally enjoy very spicy food. recently we went to buffalo bros. for lunch and they have a wing labeled "ludicrous". my normal order would just be the hottest wings on the menu, so i said bring me the ludicrous. when the first wing was finished i was in pure hell, i wiped my hands and ordered a beer to think about my decision, well of course i had to wipe my eyes from the constant outlet of water that had started. without thinking(probably a little delusional from the extreme heat) i grabbed the napkin i just used to wipe my hands,and proceeded to wipe my eyes.......... needless to say the pain that followed completely overruled any other pain i was in.
on a side note, i suffer from frequent pain from kidney stones, if you ever need to be relieved of that pain, rub some of that sauce in your eyes and 'viola, it's not even noticeable anymore.
 
Congrats on destroying your stomach and toilet lol!

Got me some Blazin wings at BWW last week. The flavor and heat is good, but I don't like the outcome like you stated. And I love hot food as well. Little bit of advice, wet wipes. LOL
 
I'm not eating anything you need gloves to touch w your hands safely, To quote Infamous1 I'm "scared to death"...............noway, nohow,not for alot of $$$ :D

Did they make you sign a release stating that you wouldn't hold them responsible for any injury? I had to sign one of those at cluck-u chicken a couple years back when I had their hottest wings.
 
I usually order the hottest wings wherever I go. I've done the blazin challenge, I had the brave heart wings at wild wing cafe here in Raleigh, and some type of wings at this place hurricane cafe in Cary. Just something about it where I have to conquer it lol
 
We did a hot wing eating contest in college (NC State). We bought the wings and this friend of a friend brought the sauce. I don't remember the name of it, where he bought it, if he signed a waiver or nothing but we did 3 rounds. You choose to go on or drop out based on how you felt.

1. 1 drop on 1 wing
2. 3 big drops on 1 wing
3. wing is covered in sauce and you had to lick the plate empty of sauce.

By round 3, two thirds had dropped out and EVERYONE had puked, including me. It took 3 days to get over that and I stood up in every class. Brutal.
 
This is not my story but if you haven't heard it, enjoy!

Recently I was honoured to be selected as an outstanding famous celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a Chili cook-off, because no one else wanted to do it. Also the original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the beer wagon when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides, they told me that I could have free beer during the tasting. So I accepted.

Here are the scorecards from the event:

CHILI # 1: MIKE'S MANIC MONSTER CHILI

JUDGE ONE: A little to heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.

JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavour. Very mild.

FRANK: Holy Shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with this stuff. I needed two beers to put the flames out. Hope that's the worst one. Those Texans are crazy.

CHILI # 2: ARTHUR'S AFTERBURNER CHILI

JUDGE ONE: Smokey, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.

JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavour. Needs more peppers to be taken seriously.

FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave of two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich manoeuvre. They had to walkie-talkie in three extra beers when they saw the look on my face.

CHILI # 3: FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI

JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.

JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili. A bit salty. Good use of red peppers.

FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced.

CHILI # 4: BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC

JUDGE ONE: Black Bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.

JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods. Not much of a chili.

FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I'm eating.

CHILI # 5: LINDA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER

JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.

JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.

FRANK: My ears are ringing, and I can no linger focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly from a pitcher onto it. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Freakin' Rednecks! ! !

CHILI # 6: VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY

JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.

JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions and garlic.

FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulphuric flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone!

CHILI # 7: SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI

JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.

JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum. Tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge # 3.

FRANK: You could put a #)$^@#*&! Grenade in my mouth, pull the #)$^@#*&! pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my X*$(@#^&$ mouth. My pants are full of lava-like shit, to match my X*$(@#^&$ shirt. At least the during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the four inch hole in my stomach.

CHILI # 8: HELEN'S MOUNT SAINT CHILI

JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending. This is a nice blend chili, safe for all; not too bold, but spicy enough to declare its existence.

JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good balanced chili, neither mild now hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 farted, passed out, fell and pulled the chili pot on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor Yank.
 
Nice! I've done a few of these and every one I didn't like the taste(it reminded me of dave's insanity sauce), it was hot but tasted like dirt to me. You should try this one next: carolina reaper pepper Ive had both the puree and the pepper itself. The puree is nice to add to anything you want HOT and it tastes better like that as well because of the vinegar.
This guy I don't know but he ate the pepper and did pretty well:



Another one that was hot as hell was the "Hottest sauce in the Universe" extract. If your interested in more torture.

I had a fat garden a while back and 2 40' rows of red, yellow and green bell peppers. I also planted 4 habanaro plants that grew sweet smelling bright orange fruits everywhere. One morning I found a deer had walked down the row of bellpeppers and taken a nibble of about every small pepper, but did'nt eat a whole one, I guess it was looking for the "just right one". It, they never touched the habanaros for the duration of the growing season. I was mad but was able to eat most of the peppers when they matured after getting the spiders and spiderwebs/bugs out of them as they made nice homes for them after the deer chewed holes in them all. I noticed the bellpeppers on the end of the rows near the habanaros were also quite hot!!
 
Yeah, you have to be careful where you plant sweet and hot peppers, although I was under the impression that if you plant them next to each other and save the seeds from the sweet peppers, it would be the fruits from those seeds that would end up hot instead of sweet. <shrug> It all tastes pretty good to me, anyway.
 
I did the Buffalo Wild challenge in Knoxville. Wasn't too bad. I like spicy...but not hot for the sake of being hot...has to have good flavor.
 
The East Coast Insanity Wing is no joke. I have seen many people puke while eating it (unfortunately some don't make it to the bathroom). Congrats on not being one of them! :)
 
Rockys Hot Chicken in Asheville is really good food. They have some really hot stuff, borderline suicide. They think they have a hot wing challenge where you start at the weakest heat and gradually eat the hottest ones. I would like to drink beer and watch someone do it, but I see no need to endure such self inflicted discomfort. I have eaten one of their Mount St. Hell No (hottest one) before and I'd rather take a stick to the eye.
 
Been there, done that, screw the shirt!
The worse thing was feeling the heat as it worked it's way through my system.
Until it reaches the end .... my eyes watered as bad when it went out as when it went in!

Click to expand...

I assume they cross-pollenated? They were'nt hot like the habenaros, but they were bitter/hot and not sweet like the ones farther from the hotpepper plants.
 
Yeah, they just cross-pollinated. Not really a big deal if, A) you like 'em all, B) you're too cheap to buy new seeds, and C) you are diligent enough to get the seeds to sprout and survive in the ground the next season. ;) :lol:
