Hottest food you have eaten

[Onyrlef]

Mark, are the red small round Chiltepin Peppers?

As far as hot spicy food I have trouble getting it hot enough. Yes, I realize I am way outside the bell curve population comfort zone with spice, including my husband.

You got that right. The crew on a dredge I worked on in S. Texas in the 80's would rotate in from Mexico 2 weeks on 2 off. They'd bring brown paper sacks of the little Chiltipins to the galley each meal. I tried one and thought I was going to require a Coast Guard medevac chopper.

505 sauce is pretty good. Look for Young Guns chile in the small jugs, I'll bet you can find it in CO. It's just roasted chile (not a sauce or salsa) and the closest thing I've found to growing and roasting my own. Their red is good too.

Thanks, Mark. I'll check it out.

Jalapeño’s are hit and miss. Some are no hotter than a bell pepper and some almost equal to habaneros. I was making pico de gallo the other day and added one medium sized jalapeño. It was super hot.

Most pepper "types" come in varying degrees of hot. Though I rarely find the choice around most other places I've been, in New Mexico if you wanted the hotter (or the cooler) pepper, you'd have to ask something like, "Is the red or the green the hottest?" Sometimes (not often that I saw) there might be a third variation available.

Flavor wise, Hatch chiles seemed to have the best flavor, though that's likely not always the case.

You are literally the first human being I have ever heard say he liked the ham & eggs.

I won't say I liked them, I could tolerate them when food supplies were very low.

The only C-rat I could not tolerate would be the one from the older C-rat cases, the lima beans with ham.

I don't think I could eat that one if I were starving.

I think the worst for me was Ham & Eggs followed closely by Beef(lard) & Potatoes

The "beef and potatoes" was one of the better C-rats. In my infantry company, everybody liked that one.

When we lived in Japan we would go to a curry restaurant downtown.

I have also had the Japanese-style curry. Best tasting stuff in all of Japan, IMO.

I was Armored Cav, Beef and Potatoes were what you ate just before boiling shoe leather.

We also enjoyed the soba houses. Best noodles in the world.
