habanero peppers

DillonT · 06-21-2009, 12:18 AM

anyone ever eat one?
i work at a grocery store and i got promoted to produce about a month or so ago. theres is a little right of passage where you have to eat a habenero (you dont HAVE to ,but you know).
anyway. today was my day. it SUCKED i drank so much milk i wanted to puke, then one of the old timers there said try bread. bread worked and about 30 minutes later the un believable burning went away. it pretty much ruined my night. BUT were gettin a new guy i like 1.5 weeks and hes gonna have to do it so its worth it.
ANYWAY. has anyone else ever aten one?

Yes. It was in some chinese food I had. It was bad for like 5 minutes and then I didn't care anymore. You much be a *****.

DillonT · 06-21-2009, 12:36 AM

i ate the whole thing. with nothing else. not "in some chinese food i had"

YUMMY_YUM · 06-21-2009, 12:38 AM

I eat that **** for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

But seriously, I've had it twice. Both times I had it with Mexican food (Salsa and enchilada sauce). It was hot, but I got over it in a jiffy.

too hot to be enjoyable without also being a masochist

habenero's are still low on the heat scale though, no?

one time at a friends house is family was italian and his dad grew peppers in the back yard, i ate half of one of these little chili's he had growing and i was crying and coughing and drinking pitchers of water at a time for like 40 minutes

and i can eat hot food normally like abnomally hot hot wings, dips, thai, etc.

my ******* was burning the next morning im sure

they're certainly high on the heat scale for commercially bought peppers

habs are right up there. Just smelling them makes my mouth water. The best hot sauce for me is "Boulder habanero Sauce' a real nice blend with good balance
El Yucateco is good too ,but straight up it can wash out a dish.
The amount of heat you can take has alot to do with your genetics...not your machismo. Also...if you work up to the full strength over the course of an hour or so {old restaurant trick] you can out take a full blast alot easier...if you know you are going to be in for a competion or test.
Boulders Smokey Serrano is my Favorite

rofl, what the hell are you guys talking about

habaneros and scotch bonnets are basically the be-all end-all when it comes to Scoville scale ratings

Worlds hottest pepper.

The Bhut Jolokia Pepper.

Seeded/veined they are great in salsas and other things.

Seeds make the burn unpleasant, as is true with a lot of peppers.

I love spicy things of all sorts, though.

we had this horticulturist come into the restaurant with a bush of these peppers he pulled out of the ground. He called them Bird peppers..they were insane...one of the sous chefs thought he was the pepper king till he ate one...he suffered bad, real bad. He was downing chocolate ice cream back in the pastry shop for like a half hour ..it was sad.

I eat them pretty frequently. I chop them up and put them on my sandwiches and in my salsa. They are ****ing incredible.

I bet half of the people posting have never even tried these peppers.... You do not cut them up and put them on sandwiches....Thats total BS. They are hot as hell....and not something that most people will enjoy......especially raw.

Habanaros are very hot, but the heat goes away pretty quickly.

You are a ****ing retard. Its not like habeneros are so hot they arent edible. If you are a ***** then you might not like them, but dont tell me i cant eat them. They are delicious raw.

I have to agree.. Whenever I can find them I always buy a huge bag of them and use as many as i can before they start to go bad then put the leftovers in vodka. It's really good to cook with and the habs keep for a long time in the vodka.

But it is not bull****, I always put them on sandwiches, they are very spicy but they still pack so much flavor it's amazing. I wish they were a little less spicy sometimes because my stomach always hates me after but habs are by far my favorite chilies flavor wise. Fresh jalapenos are always hit and miss. Sometimes they taste spicy, sometimes it's like eating a green pepper. When you do get spicy ones though they are also amazing.
