Some are getting confused between spicy and hot. Spicy means adding zing to a flavour and tastes good. Hot is covering a flavour (usually because the meat is bad) and in this age of refrigerators is totally unnecessary, being the sport of chavs after 10 pints of weak lager. They think it's a test of manliness how hot a curry they can get in their fat mouths. You may as well sprinkle gun-powder on their food. And then they leave piles of puke on the pavement for shoppers to tread in the next day. Thai is the best. |

| awesome bill | Being poor, I cook about 95% of what I eat. If I want heat I use serano or Thai chiles. The former for latin foods, the latter for asian style dishes. If I want to use dried ingredients I go with red pepper flake for "front of the mouth heat" and cayenne for "throat heat". I don't like bottled "Hot Sauces". | |

| Fathom Zero | Pepper spray smells like tea. Until it gets in your throat. Then it's like electric metal shavings. | |

Every year there's a hot sauce convention at Jungle Jim's. Last year we went, thought it was going to be awesome but it really wasn't...it was just lots of people at tables selling their indie hot sauces. There weren't a lot of samples, there wasn't an especially festive atmosphere...was like being at a trade show We felt a little ripped off. |

You can get some pretty stupid chilli sauce on the internet: http://www.chilefarm.co.uk/blairs_3am_reserve.html I don't know what the health effects of consuming something at 2,000,000 scovills would be but it's about the same as using pepper spray on your meal. |

| Colonel Flagg | I used to use Dave's Endorphin Rush a drop at a time in my baked beans. Similar scoville ranking, and an explosive combination. | |

Yup. That's why they tell ya only to use a tiny droplet at a time because it can destroy you.

| Tadao | The internet says in has a rating of 800,000 Scoville Units. That's insane. | |

| Mockery | The waiver part is a total gimmick, but the sauces themselves are not. They're made to be used with a drop or two in an entire meal for a group o' people (like a big gumbo, stew, etc.)... not the kind of sauce you'd dip a tortilla chip in or anything though. | |

| Tadao | Rog, that looks like a gimmick too me. A great gimmick though. | |

The hottest food I've ever had was Japanese style curry from this place: http://www.ichibanya.co.jp/english/index.html A Level 10 curry sauce was absolutely unbearable. I finished a quarter of the plate at best. I like to think I have a high tolerance for spicy food but I could never eat anything over a Level 5 and actually enjoy it. |

I have a high tolerance for spicy-ness I think. The hottest thing i've ever tasted was some hot sauce I bought from a specialty hot sauce shop called Pepper Palace. Nice name, right?  So i guess if sauce counts as food, Mexicans win flawless victory.EDIT: I guess spiciest isnt the same as best. oops. My favorite spicy food is pepper chicken from this chinese place down the street.  ping pong

I love all spicy food, though I don't ever remember having Cajun. We get a lot of really kick arse Asian available here, and I would be hard pressed to easily pick one as favourite, but I think I have enjoyed Indian the most, and chicken tikka masala is the best out of that. Yes, I know it's a British dish. I make rather good curries, too. I think. It doesn't have to be hot all the time, but you can't beat a runny nose. |

There's a dive near me that serves the hottest chicken wings - I also had some great hot wings at a bar in Cincinnati. A place in Cedar Rapids called "The Lark" served me roast beef with ground horseradish that made me sweat blood (I exaggerate a little of course). The supermarket next town over serves "shooters" at the olive bar - pepperincini stuffed with prosciutto and provelone. Combine this with whiskey and you've got all four food groups in your mouth at once. I likes me some hot food.

| Asila | I like a damned good curry, but like Grisly said it's dependent on who makes it. I like it when your eyes water and your sinuses clear, good stuff. | |
