It's not hot until you cry.

[Shakespeare]

That's my approach to hot, spicy food (and bless my poor husband, who likes hot food, but is allergic to capsaicin). I go through spells where I just can't get enough, and can't get it hot enough. Currently, I'm craving jerk chicken, but am out of the world's only acceptable jerk seasoning:



I'm off to spend my lunch hour searching for replenishment. Multiple jars, if I can find them.

Wish me luck; until then, I'll make do with buffalo wings. :cry:

1. I'm not the crying type, but it's not hot enough unless

it makes my upper eyelids sweat.

2. I have a friend who makes what he calls

Duck Seasoning. He grows his own chilies down there in the Keys, and he routinely sends me jars of the stuff, which usually causes body parts to explode and fly off. Fortunately, it's always molting season here.

I wish I could share it with you. I suspect you'd love it.

3. That sounds fabulously hot.

Yum. Yum, yum. (and I love the name he gives it)

4. If you want to PM me a mailing address,

I'd be glad to send you some.

5. I used to eat food as hot as I could get it

But since I've gotten nasal allergies, it makes my nose run. I can't bring myself to blow my nose at the table (unless I'm alone at home), and getting up every few minutes is embarrassing. (The staff at a Vietnamese restaurant got very worried about all my bathroom trips once.) So, now I limit the hotness of my food when I'm out in public.

6. dang, that's how you know it's hot

it ain't hot till it clears your sinuses

7. A huge dollop of wasabi

on my futomaki, and i'm suddenly so much more aware of my surroundings.

Ever see this site? Their stuff is great, by the way:

8. We love hot sauce

but this one is the only one we have found we cannot handle. It is HOT!

9. I love hot and spicy foods, but as I have gotten

older, it plays havoc with my intestines. But I still eat it and suffer later.
