thai peppers | The Food Vampire

Another has passed, and in March, the day has come. This day, and the event’s soon described, were feared for many days and nights, dreamt of pain and suffering, and the like.

(having the balls to become fire balls!)

The raw consumption of YELLOW, RED, JALAPENO, SERRANO AND THAI peppers stand before us.

So here’s my “reviews”, with ratings from 1-10, 10 being stupidly hot, like eating charcoal from a recently burning barbeque pit:

The PreCrunch Colours

Tequila shot. Nice starter to warm things up.

First in line were the yellows. (6) Almost gave up, but the first one is usually the hottest, being the “fresh” new flavour on the tongue. (I’m a crysanthemum (not a pansie!) when it comes to spiciness). Woozy and light-headed, I was I was.

Nope. I was wrong, the big Red ones are much worse. (7). Friendly observants noticed slurred and lisped vocabulary. There were moment of ‘illitherithy’ for that moment. GKW wanted to give up. JChu brushed his tongue (bad idea right?)

Thirdly were the Jalapenos. To me: (2), I was lucky. It tasted like a green pepper (no, it wasn’t a green pepper). GKW had a choice in the matter of picking 1 or 2, and somehow died during that. Too bad. LOST ONE IN THE BOONDOCKS! JChu went and brushed his teeth again. POINT TO NOTE: That just prepares you for another clean hit, dudes and dudettes.

Lastly? Yes, the serrano and the thai were consumed together. The idea was to do it all ASAP and wither away this last time, rather than twice more. The serrano is a smaller breed of green, but still packs a punch (6)… the thai chili however, <BAM!>, (9)! One bite and I was swatting and hand flapping like a kid having his first sour ring… but disgusting.

Choked it down with some aloe vera and postachios. (See below).

And topped off (me only) with three more shots of tequila (‘Sauza’ brand).
Probably got myself some ulcers. It was bound to happen with alcohol some time in my life.
