I made these Fire Death Shrimp last night and they were quite possibly the hottest food I have ever consumed and I have had a habanero fresh and whole.

So what is the spiciest food you ever ate?

When I was about thirteen, my uncle told me to eat a pepper that he had picked from the garden. I'm not sure exactly what kind it was, but it was red, hot, and burned like hell for an hour. I never ate a thing from his garden again!-
What a mean uncle! Ouch!

The spiciest food I have ever eaten has to be the salsa from La Taqueria in San Francisco. Awesome, incredible Mexican food--and they have won just about every leading salsa competition in the Bay Area.
I have had some pretty hot Hunan food too. -
I have a love of spicy food and growing up my mom would make the spiciest of indian food. But i have never had anything as spicy as the COLON CLEANER beef jerky at Alien Jerky. The name is no exaggeration let me tell you-
haha! that is hilarious. Can you get that online?
-
sounds dreadful -
So i went on their website to look it up and it turns out theyre selling it! it is 250,000 scoville units! According to the scale thats a habanero. Buy it here if you dare:

spiciest food I have tried so far is from a local Chinese take out near me. They make a Schezwan beef dish so spicy that when you open the box your nose burns and your eyes tear up ... I'm sure I heard them scream once as I was opening the lid.
I order this about once a month lol ... -
anything that doesn't cause actual burns is alright by me. I would be hard pressed to pick out a single spiciest dish... probably my home-cold-remedy; picante sauce with crushed garlic and cayenne pepper. -
you must get some really nasty colds ..
-
I seem to be prone to sinus infections, especially during allergy seasons. I have one right now, and I outta cayenne... trip to store might be in order

There was an Anglo-Indian fusion restaurant I went to, that took British sausages and served it with the hottest curry sauce possible. That was fairly eye-watering. However, I enjoy spicy food. -
I made an extremely hot saag last year...so hot that my Pakistani friends were also gasping for water! It was pretty nice though...
-
Actually, that is exactly the spiciest thing I ever ate. I didn't make it at home. I went to Devon Ave. (India town)and ordered a Saag Paneer. I thought I was dying. I drank so much water I actually became physically ill afterwards.
I'm Asian, I can handle a lot of spice. This though, might as well have been sticking my tongue and esophagus inside a burning fire it was so hot. -
yikes! I don't think mine was that hot...
-
yeah that sounds really hot
-
Oh my god, my friends didn't let me live it down for years. I mentioned I got physically ill from all the water I drank? Well, it also gave me the runs for days.
I went back to that restaurant again, but always made a point of ordering mild from then on. I'm convinced that the level of heat in that dish was a mistake. I can't imagine anyone ordering that deliberately. -
haha! someone knocked over some chilli powder you think?
-
:O
you guys found saag too spicy? -
My thought was that super hot, concentrated chili oil. I think instead of adding a couple of drops, someone dumped an entire bottle into the batch.
-
I found my own homemade quite spicy saag too spicy...
-
ouch... spicy + runs = not good
-
the leaves basically mellow the whole taste
I doubt you lot can stomach a Chicken Do Pyaaza in that case -
It was an unpleasant few days. I can't believe that I got over it enough to go back to that same restaurant again. I wasn't going to give up my favorite Indian restaurant because of a single incident resulting in days of misery.
When I say I can handle a lot of spice, I can handle a lot of spice. Korean food is screamingly spicy. This was far to much for me to handle though. -
I can handle quite a lot of spice for a white girl!
So my Asian friends tell me anyway...

Dude..............I haven't laughed so hard since I read a few of your recipes and comments. You would make a good late night cable cooking host. Un-edited for content of course. You could call it, "You need me, your cooking SUCKS !!!!!" Keep up the good work.-
thanks!

Mrs. Agit8r doesn't like spicy stuff at all or much exotic stuff, so I don't even know what most of this stuff is. I tend to be limited to spicy mexican food and spicy chinese
-
White people Mexican and Chinese spicy is not spicy. It barely registers on my taste buds.
-
double post
-
Triple post
-
Stillthinking--I have to take you to some of my favorite Mexican and Hunan places in SF! They are VERY spicy. I know of a Hunan restaurant that will grow hair on your chest!
-
Bring it on Mtyler! I laugh at your spice! Ha ha ha!
-
Man, BC is messed up today. It's slow and it keeps double and triple posting my comments.
-
-
You come to SF and I will give you some spicy Chinese that will lay you DOWN!
-
Ooh, yeah. I can probably handle the spice in my mouth. I don't think my stomach can handle the spice. I can feel the heart burn already...

Try this recipe:
Hot paste:
5 Thai Bird's eye chillis
2 Scotch bonnet chillis
Bunch coriander leaves
Chunk of ginger, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic
1 stalk of lemongrass, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
Put the above into a food processor and grind into paste. Set aside.
In a hot pan, fry up chicken or fish. Prepare hot chicken or vegetable stock.
Pour stock over frying chicken or fish, then add paste. Simmer until sauce is thick.
If that doesn't blow your head off, nothing will. -
I dare you to add some Ghost pepper to any meal. The intensity is something you have to experience.
-
Believe it or not we do have Hispanics and a long time Chinese population here in Spokane
My fave is the Orange Chicken with the chunks of red pepper. Sweet and hot MMM:) -
spokane! right on. Do you have a harley?
-
no, I have a Chevy Aveo
same size engine though -
I have spent a lot of time in cour d'alene and I just noticed that most people have harleys in that area
-
-
I bought the Ghost Pepper or Bhut Jolokia (its the hottest pepper in the world) a few months ago. It sets any meal/dish that you add it to on fire. I love it.
-
I have really wanted to get those
-
If you like a spicy challenge, then you'll love it. I a pound of it off Ebay.
-
When it get's this spicy though, I think it changes from pleasure to masochism. After a certain spice level, it doesn't taste like anything to me. It just burns.
I like a level of spice where you can still taste the food. -
I like the burn!
-

I made a "throw together meal" of orzo, tinned tomatoes, garlic, chicken breast and all sorts of herbs. Figuring that it was sort of like a jambalaya I added some peri peri powder to the mix. It didnt quite have the desired heat at the time so I added half a bottle of tobasco sauce to the mix which did the trick. The missus was late getting home so the meal was left to simmer away nicely for about an hour which obviously intensified the heat. Well she ate it, well some of it at least - anyone would have thought I was murdering her with the noise she was making and the constant sweating and shuddering she made for the restof the night. Me, i was pretending to be a hard man but i still had to take sick leave the following day.-
That sounds like the jambalaya I made with a whole jar of Adobo peppers and a jalapeno dumped in to boot. It was painfully delicious. I suffered for it though.
-
Classic male reaction to peppers. I have wept a few times because of spices. Good times, good times.
-
-
Some of this in chilli
makes you
-
No one said you *had* to eat spicy food.
-
that is exactly what JUST happened to me after eating those shrimp last night...stupid harissa
-
I like spicy food, it just doesn't like me
I love harissa paste in stuff. -
I made it from scratch and it was really, really good. Or so it seemed at the time
-
That is the problem with spicy food, once you have conditioned yourself to handle the heat all seems well, then it hits yours bowels and its hell
-
-
That's a great blog. Wish I had had the patience to wait for it to load before damn adult ADHD
-
Or you on dial up? It loads lickety split for me.
-
mine? Is it all the pictures you think? It is fast on mine and my connection is really slow.
-
It doesn't take forever to load like some people's... but long enough for me (on dialup) to get distracted by the next thread

*theme from "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" plays*
-
Spicy Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup?
-

-
Cooking Asshole were you posting on The Huffington Post?
-

-

-
the hair is different
-
you're right. Say, did you steal that nice ladys table over on the "grrr" discussion?
-
Lol! -
monkey likes to play on tables but would never steal one.
-
-
My mom's potato soup and that is why it got thrown out.
-
when i was in high school, i ate these hot wings from hard rock cafe...they were painful, but soooo good!-
baby...they could not have been that hot.
-
the hottest i've ever had.
-
-
Gads...first off, let me say that I just CAN'T handle spicy food.
A month or so ago I ordered some kind of shrimp dish at a local restaurant that sounded good & didn't have the little hot pepper logo next to it. The menu LIED. I don't know what was IN that, but my eyes were watering, my insides were on fire, the entire restaurant was watching me writhe in agony in my seat, chugging water & covering my face w/my hands.
It was good, relatively speaking, but I'd never put myself through that again! -
It's hard to get real good hot sauce in the US. My friend came back from Jamaica with hot sauce that was so hot it burned your nose hairs from a couple feet away Now that is hot sauce. Can't buy it in US though Oh and probably either chili or stir fry wit spicy moose pepperoni was the spiciest I have made. People were sitting outside in 20 degrees in t-shirts sweating trying to cool off after. -
My favourites are Kaitaia Fire brand - they have a kiwi fruit, manuka honey and habenaro sauce and also the traditional tobasco sauce
and also nandos extra hot peri peri sauce makes any food as addictive as crack
-
Can you ship me a bottle?
-
I found this image on amazon, so you must be able to get it on there if you can find it in the stores. If not I can arrange to send a bottle, no probs
-
Way cool thank you. Your the best
-
let me know if you can't find it on amazon and then I'll sort you out if you want
-
I am always up for trying different hot stuff but it just seems like the hot stuff isn't real hot here by me I will have to look for it online
-
-
tandoori chicken (the real stuff made in a clay oven) or vindaloo, YUM! and I like thai food too. -
In Helsinki, we lived close to a Chinese restaurant that always asked you how hot you wanted your dish. "One chili, two chili, three chili?" They would always ask. I answered "3" a lot of times, but since it wasn't really that hot, I told them "4" once, thinking that it was the number of chili's they put in, but I think what they meant was like "mild" "medium" "hot". So my "4" would mean "super extra hot". I am glad I ordered take away's that time, because I could eat like two mouthfuls at a time before having to take a long break to recuperate. It took me a couple of days to finish, but I did eat it all! It was Beef in Chili Sauce what I was having.
In comparison, when we cook Beef in Chili at home, we put in 6 chili's of 3 different kinds (including habanero) into a dinner for two, which is just right. -
i have many kind of food in my country that so hot and spicy, one of them is called rendang(from west sumatra, indonesia), made of beef meat with full of chili,coconut milk,some herb, etc. there is also one meal called rica-rica from north celebes)which full of small hot chili to mixed with fish or chicken, the taste really really hot and fresh,ehm...yummy...yummy.... -
Some spicy chicken in DC in a fast food place that I saw on Food Network (forgot the name). Apparently you have to sign for it. I thought my throat closed and I saw my life flash before my eyes lol.-
that is awesome you have to sign for it!
-
yeah it was definitely...lawsuit worthy.
-
-
I love spicy food...I love Thai food...and I love spicy Thai food..
One Thai restaurant that I went to asked if I wanted mild, medium, or spicy PadKeeMao. I choose spicy, but didn't realize that their spicy meant my face would turn red, my eyes would tear up, and I would have an uncontrollable urge to drink water!-
in thai, padkeemao means "if you choose spicy, your face will turn red, your eyes will tear up, and you'll be forced to drink lots of water; try the mild." 8o (my spicy face)
-
-
There's so much good stuff here..hmmm i wonder which one i should try.
-
A special type of curry from India. (can't remember which one)
This curry was hot as hell and burned all 7 of my chakras and I swear it purified them all -
Wasabi. Instant cure for nasal congestion.-
not coincidentally, hazardous to a good first date impression.
-
A man who can take a good hit of wasabi always impresses me.
-
hahaha, but one who can't is mortifying.
-
-
I don't like things Really hot, though I love my food to be well spiced and seasoned. Once a co-worker took me to a Thai place and the food was okay but it was Way too hot for me. Never ate Thai again. -
The hottest thing I can remember eating was the first batch of my wife's venison chili. She didn't realize that I'm not real big on spicy food and we were newly married, so I thought I would give it a shot.
It was very tasty, but... after awhile... I found I couldn't speak any longer... -
30 yrs ago my Bro in law brought a can of a hot sauce from Nigeria. Its name was Tomopep. The instructions said to add a can to a pot.We added it to a pan. Their pots must have been 100 gallon size because the stuff was incredible. We sieved the sauce off the meat and veg and tried to recook it but it was still too hot.
TOMOPEP - you have been warned!! -
Jerk chicken with scotch bonnet pepper. -
My father swallowed the whole blob of wasabi that comes with Japanese takeout, thinking it was guacamole. He learned a valuable lesson that day, and none of us will ever let him forget it! Guacamole?? with Japanese food?
-
haha! I am sure he will never feel the same about guacamole again.
-
I like eating the wasabi, not all of it at once, but dipping bit by bit in soy sauce.
-
I don't usually touch it!
-
I love that stuff and have wasabi powder at home. I like to put it in mashed potatoes with 'Asian-style' salmon
-
well THAT sounds good!
-
of course it does
