Hi Shawn,
RH> Some can take it, others can't. I was reading an article in today's
RH> paper about a pepper grower who has developed a Pepper X with a
RH> Scoville Unit # of 2,700,000. He said it took him 6 hours to recover
RH> from eating one. Now that is one hot pepper!
SH> I saw that interview with him. He's a machine for sure, now he can
SH> eat them on command and doesn't break a sweat. hahahaha
He must have a cast iron stomach. One of Steve's brothers used to like
things extra hot. He told us some years ago that he put in a take out
order in some place for super, extra, extra hot wings. When he came to
pick it up, the whole kitchen crew came out to see who it was that
wanted the wings so hot. Some time later he developed ulcers and now
can't have the hot and spicy foods he used to enjoy.
RH> and HI. Getting older, moving (further) away from pepper growing
RH> territory, changing my eating habits, etc have toned down my heat
RH> level.
SH> Just living with Andrea and Bob has brought my heat level way down.
I prefer to be able to taste other flavors in my food, and if it's hot,
it should be an all over the mouth heat. That's what we try to get with
our chili but so many other chilis we've had seem to concentrate their
heat in just one part of the mouth. That, to us, is not a good chili.
RH> Popcorn was an easy and inexpensive snack in college too. Seemed
RH> that almost every night the smell of corn popping would waft thru
RH> the halls. (G)
SH> Oh so true.
Probably still true of college kids. One of the girl's dorms at Houghton
was partly built into a hillside, The kitchenettes on the bottom 2
floors were on the side in the hill so almost every day (usually
morning--breakfast or late evening--popcorn) the smoke detector would go
off, evacuating the whole dorm.
