After 10 minutes of tears endorphin euphoria sets in. It burns all the way down the gullet.Wine does not help.A great pepper experience- highly recommended to all pepper lovers.

He once said that on long overnight study sessions he'd turn on the stove and briefly roast a pepper over the heat, then eat it whole. Said it was better than anything else he'd tried for a jolt of wakeful energy. He didn't mention the euphoria, but frankly that fits very neatly into the overall picture of this particular guy....Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340640199242226190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-39349067240236482722008-08-25T16:17:00.000-07:002008-08-25T16:17:00.000-07:00Sounds like you got high on hot peppers.

I dislike the concept of heat just for the sake of heat. For instance, I think habanero Tabasco sauce is nasty compared to its milder original version. Unfortunately, there are some cuisines in this world that you can't really appreciate until you've built up a certain tolerance for heat. <BR/><BR/>This pepper was great as an ingredient--it's got thin walls, so if you want to add heat without a bunch of chili mass, then it's great. For times when you want the pepper to be physically present in the dish, a Hatch or Anaheim or JalapeƱo works better. The Naga Jolokia really isn't meant to be eaten whole; I did so for scientific curiosity.Benitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-46019278529978046572008-08-18T08:17:00.000-07:002008-08-18T08:17:00.000-07:00I despise hot peppers, a little bit goes a long wa...I despise hot peppers, a little bit goes a long way. Normal quantities overpower the rest of the food, cause gastrointestinal distress, burn out the tastebuds for days on end. Maybe others are not as sensitive to their effects, but except in very judicious amounts they do little to improve a cuisine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-34402485427836955942008-08-18T05:29:00.000-07:002008-08-18T05:29:00.000-07:00WOW sounds like something I am glad you did, not m...WOW sounds like something I am glad you did, not me!!
