@#$% that burns!!

Eat The Heat link

Random site I found talking about their near death experiences.

"Not exactly sauce-related, but two years ago at the buffet in the Las Vegas Rio: the food service people put the wasabi a little too close to the Mexican food section of the buffet. We all thought it was guacamole."
 
Eeeew, yuck, I can't stand wasabi, it tastes like the fumes from nail polish remover dried into chalk.

By the way... any idea who Tim Blair is???

Beats me. I followed the links to see what the blog was about and it all looked political. The 'heat' posting seemed totally random, yet got more responses than this place does... :cry:
 
Tina - Have you ever had genuine Wasabi? The wasabi at most restaurants is simply reconstituted powdered horseradish with lots of green coloring, hence the chemical taste. When we lived in Oregon I had the chance to visit an actual wasabi farm and got some of the real stuff. Absolutely delicious. Their wasabi dressings are also fabulous.
 
To tell you the truth, no, I don't think I've had genuine Wasabi. At least Greg says I haven't... One of these days I suppose. But that icky reconstituted horseradish... Yuck!

I know that I like wasabi, although I can't say for sure whether it's been the yucky reconstituted stuff or the real deal. A little wasabi and soy sauce is great with sushi, of which there's only a few kinds I like anyway. 8)

We've got a customer who roasted some almonds in our Fusion Fire, so I think I know what you like about those wasabi nuts. Yummy.

But wasabi... yuck. Greg likes the whoosh that goes up your nose when you eat it and I must admit that that is the part that reminds me of nail polish remover.

Hahaha. That whooosh up your nose is truly a unique feeling! You don't get that with hot sauce.

Since I live 20 minutes from the Mustard Museum, and they're awesome people who have a HUGE cooler full of mustards to taste-test, I've had the pleasure of trying out the "hottest" mustard in the world.

Royal Bohemian Mustard is made with horseradish, so it gives the WHOOSH feeling up da nose. For my Wheel of Pain events, it's my favorite one to try, and to have others test, because the pain is very temporary.

I see they have another mustard, and the hottest horseradish. Guess another visit is in order.

Hey, HEY!!! No fair tasting if you're not willing to share!

Heheh. My door is always open.

What's ironic is that I took it with me to Columbus for my sister to try over Memorial Weekend. Where the hot fudge were you?
 
One day while arranging some of our collector bottles, I accidently touched a bottle of Blair's 5AM that had a slight crack in it with a little bit of seepage. I'm talking very minimal - but I still made sure to go wash my hands, three times even. The later that night, washed my hands again and went to take out my contacts - HOLY CRAP! - the wife was standing right next to me and I grabbed her arm and went down on one knee clutching my eye. I wanted to rip it out of my head just to stop the burning. I had to lay down for about 20 minutes before i could open my eye enough to get out the charred contact. I thought I was going to be blinded by hot sauce! but after about an hour everything was fine.

But now I'm pretty sure that lasik surgery could be written off as a work related expense! :-)
 
It's all fun and games till someone loses an eye! :-)

I can laugh about it now, but at the time, had someone laughed at me, I woulda stuck my finger in their eye too!

Ouch, baby. Very ouch.

Well, we're pretty unlikely to be visiting Wisconsin anytime soon. However, if you're going to be in Buckeye-land in the future to visit your sister, let us know ahead of time. Perhaps you can come visit, see our Wall of Flame/hot sauce shrine, and enjoy a repast of Cluck-U megahot wings.

...and don't forget to bring some mustard. 😉

That reminds me, we found out that the Cluck-U there only does take-out. So, very unlikely they do that Challenge. :cry:

It's your new city now... so I'll leave it up to you to sniff out the HEAT there. (By T-day/X-mas)

Drinking a Glass Of Tabasco

Seeing his reaction after drinking it is great. I'm sure it's the fumes of the vinegar doing him in. I'm guessing he was no stranger to occasional spice, didn't look like the heat was a factor.

I've done multiple shots of Tabasco. I just hate that vinegar taste. A stomach full couldn't have felt great.

No need to see the whole video. Once he goes to the bathroom, there isn't really much to see. The last 30 seconds show him throwing up outside, it's too dark.
