What’s the spiciest thing you’ve ever eaten?

I personally prefer my sushi with Soya sauce. Tried Sushi at a Japanese restaurant once for Mother’s Day. Burned a wee hole on the tip of my tongue.

Grabbed the Soya and swore never to touch that wasabi. Remembering the line from Cars Disney. I much prefer Pistachio Ice Cream :rofl::rofl::rofl:

They make a cream out of chilli peppers, capaicin, that’s supposed to be very good for arthritis pain and anti inflammatory

Horseradish is lovely… something else to add to the shopping list for the weekend, haven’t cooked roast beef for ages

Years I bought some young horseradish plants and grew them on in a large container in the garden. They took a little while to get established but it was worth it.

It can be invasive, hence the container.

Love roast beef too. Had special steaks for Sunday night, needed an iron boost both daughter and I and added brocolis of course.

One thing I find great to buy at my local Lidl. Peppered Roast Beef remnants. Ready-cooked and haphazardly cut but it makes great sarnies lol.

Leftovers cooked joint of roast beef, chopped up, add cooked diced potatoes, diced up an onion or two and traditionally cooked in lard but I prefer butter. Gramps called it Beef Hash!

I also enjoy wasabi but just a wee bit with the ginger and it’s usually with sushi. I don’t eat raw fish sushi though. Only cooked seafood.

I absolutely adore hot spicy food and the sensation of heat, I did home made vindaloo on Thursday and there was enough left for Fridays lunch.

On Wednesday I did bbq and the cooked and raw chilli’s made it. Nothing quite like a tasty sausage (Toulouse this time), buttery jacket and chillis!

Technically this stuff is an additive rather than a food but very handy for chilli dishes. It’s seriously hot, I’ve just made the mistake of merely rubbing my face with my hand after carrying it back to the kitchen :hot_face:
I don’t think I’ve been brave enough to put more than two drops into a recipe at any given time :fire::radioactive::skull_and_crossbones:

My first Indian meal was a vindaloo on the buggers i was withs advice.I ate it and didn’t flinch but never had one since. I like spicy but that was too hot.

Once in a restaurant two piss heads came in and asked for a hot thahl(sp) and insisted that they wanted it hot. Staff said it was very hot but they insisted they wanted it hot.
When the meal was delivered the kitchen staff were standing in the doorway watching them eat it.
They ate it with a jug of water and were violently ill when they left.

The meal they asked for was a Phall

It is one of the hottest forms of curry regularly available, even hotter than the vindaloo, using many ground standard chilli peppers.
Phall has achieved notoriety as the spiciest generally available dish from Indian restaurants

I like very hot food in general, and if its curry then madras chilli heat is my usual but quite often vindaloo.

I get why people say the heat masks the taste, but for a chilli lover like me it enhances the taste and sensory experience

Meals seem to be really tasty when we have made them ourselves, with the ingredients we like.

I’m of Indian descent hence almost every Indian dish that I prepare has a certain level of spicy. I prefer aromatic curries to very spicy dishes though. Overall, curries in my home aren’t extremely hot. I feel too much heat takes away from the flavour.

Yes, yes, I know that I’m a disgrace to my motherland :069:

I prefer slightly spicy and aromatic to full on heat. I am such a wimp when it comes to really spicy things. :frowning:

In answer to the question, I think the spiciest I have ever tried is cayenne pepper (powder form)

I cook many ‘Indian’ dishes such as these;

First is seek kebabs which I serve with very finely mandolin sliced salad.

Second is a chicken tikka Ceylon.
I smoked marinated chicken then later added to the Ceylon.

In the UK we have BIR curries (British Indian Restaurant style) and traditional Indian / Bangladeshi/ Ceylon dishes.

I like cooking both styles depending on what I fancy.

I like spicy very much, have yet to have anything that was too spicy. Indian used to be my favourite when I lived in the UK (Vindaloo everytime).

I still have Indian occasionally but for the past couple of decades Thai has been my favourite go to food.

(Mind you there is nothing like a good rare or medium rare steak)

We have a Thai daughter-in-law and I am treated to Thai dishes every now and then. The curries can be hot but not always. I once bit into a chilli pepper in one of the dishes. Don’t know what it was but it was so hot that it was difficult to hide the discomfort.

When it comes to Indian curries, I like Vindaloo or Madras. Also developed quite a liking for Rezala lately. Chicken Tikka for a starter every time. Not hot but tasty.

Indian is my favorite cuisine, and any kind of curry.
