How much heat can you tolerate?

[madviking]

For peppers, that is.

Article on pepper hotness.

Habaneros are easily tolerated for me.

I remember having this one pepper that was cultivated by an Indian gentleman in my Oregonian hometown with his own genetic selections. He called it "Parbu´s inferno" (eponymously named) and it was a small, thin red pepper with many seeds. That was without doubt the hottest pepper I´ve ever eaten. Two of those little red devils and I was dizzy and sweating like a slave.

I wash down battery acid with pepper spray.

I've never had a habenero, but I can take cayenne pretty well.

 

[sophie]

Moderate heat, though I've been working up to higher levels. I like spicy, but I haven't experimented with it.

I can eat habaneros. Unfortunately, somewhere between my mouth and my colon those habaneros turn into napalm. Needless to say, I eat them sparingly.

 

[DJNotNice]

Habanero, although I've never had one, I've eaten peppers in Turkey that were at least as hot as them and took them well. And I can take cayenne easily.

100-350K. I can handle Scotch Bonnets.

 

[Mango Elephant]

I don't know, I hate spicy food so I've never tried.

I can eat Jalapeno peppers on sandwiches but I haven't tried anything hotter.

This is true for me as well, and as such, I cannot handle habenero peppers and nor can you.

I can eat Jalapeno peppers on sandwiches but I haven't tried anything hotter.

I've had a jalapeno burger (which was no problem) and jalapeno pizza (which was slightly more problematic). I'm probably gonna level up soon.

My alarm clock in the morning is pepper spray into an open wound.

did it look something like that?

I can stand enough spice that I downed a bottle of Habanero hot sauce withoutn crying, it screwed me up for days

 

[bhsup]

Voted Pablano. I can handle the occasional Jalapeño sliced up in a dish, but it's easy to overwhelm me with them.

 

[Cull]

Habanero.

Has Habanero peppers a couple times and I was fine, so thats where I believe I should be.

 

[Leonel]

I can handle that Asian hot sauce with the rooster on the side. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!

 

[Cull]

Wait, I'm not sure where I would place then.

I can eat Southern China food with no problem, so I dunno where that would be... Higher or lower than habanero's peppers?

 

[Quackers]

I can handle a Chicken Madras, but anything else is probably too much.

I like Japepenos occasionally when I want some heat.

I was raised on Indian/West Indies food. So, hot peppers or pepper sauce goes in pretty much everything.
