Hot pepper/burning mouth question
I attempted to demonstrate my advanced (or lack of) intelligence today....
I am growing some peppers. Actually, I have about 45 pepper plants, but about 10 of them are these long green peppers. I think they turn red, then you dry them and make ground up hot pepper for aisan cooking. This one was green, maybe six inches long, and maybe 3/4 inch around at the base. I chop it up. I put a very small piece, like 1/2 the size of a pea, in my mouth. I immediately experience severe burning...my eyes cross, I can't see, my mouth is on fire, I stick my head in the sink and pray for death....this was not jalapeno ow ow hot gimme more, this was 911 take me to the hospital burning. So, I rinse mouth, smear it over my face, and my face still burns.... So, my question...is it normal for hot peppers like this to do this? I've eaten serrano and jalapeno peppers before, raw in salsa, but I've never run across something this severe. |

Oil relieves the burning, greasy food, milk, that sort of thing. Water doesn't. |

sounds like you got a good one. Oil relieves the burning, greasy
food, milk, that sort of thing. Water doesn't. Water spreads it over my face quite nicely I put it in a cast iron pan, fried it in sesame oil, added a couple of tomatoes and tomatillos, and it's simmering right now. Curious as to what it will be like when it's cooked for a while... |

It's so very easy to relieve the burning in your mouth and on your face... simply rub a good sized chunk of that same pepper all over your crotch, rub it in real good and don't miss your anus. After rubbing shove the chunk of pepper as far up your vagina as you can. I guarantee you won't feel your mouth and face burning anymore, TROLL! |

It's so very easy to relieve the burning in your mouth and on your snip stunning example of intelligence You know what your problem is, Sheldon? When your mama dropped you on your head, she didn't drop you hard enough, and you survived. Now go crawl back under the rock you came out from and don't contaminate this ng anymore. |

Hot pepper/burning mouth question
Very entertaining description, thank you! And yes, it's normal if you
have the hot varieties. I'd use the milk method, which also includes ice cream, cream, sour cream, but if you get a really hot one even that won't work. I have a friend, she still hasn't lived it down, boast of being able to eat jalapenos and grabbed a whole habanero before I could stop her.... she did actually blister on the top of her mouth and her tongue. Still makes me chuckle. She a little less boastful and will listen a little more carefully these days. She actually managed to swallow it! I think it was a lesson that lasted for a day or two! jules Zootal wrote: I attempted to demonstrate my advanced (or lack of) intelligence today.... I am growing some peppers.

Hot pepper/burning mouth question
Well, I feel better now...and a bit stupid. Last year my long green chilis
were mild and quite edible, and I thought I was growing the same thing this year. This year they are outright dangerous. Holy Moly....I have about 100 of them on the plants, and I"ll be drying them and grinding them for some dried pepper goodness :-) I feel for your friend...that stuff is downright nasty. I made the mistake of wiping my mouth, and I ended up spreading it all over my face, and it burned for hours :P "none" ""jules\"@(none)" wrote in message ... Very entertaining description, thank you!

I think you need a chilli cookbook. Don't just dry, make hot chilli
sauces too and give them to your friends with appropriate warnings. Also try smoking them, red or green. You can probably do it on a bbq. I've never done this but is is possible to buy smoked dried chillis in some places. bye Zootal wrote: Well, I feel better now...and a bit stupid.

I ws only supposed to have the contacts in for 4 hours but they stayed in a lot longer than that! |

I see where some have recommended milk to calm the burning...around these parts it is common knowledge that tomatoes work the best to cool a burning mouth or lips after a particularly hot pepper. Not saying that the milk won't work mind you...just most folks around here all say that the tomatoes work quicker. Perhaps that is why you didn't notice the heat from the other peppers the salsas? Personally, I've not tried the milk after a severely hot pepper, so I can't say from experience with that, but I have used the tomatoes/ketchup, etc after a hot pepper. Works for me anyway, so I figured I'd pass the info on... ~Rae |

I don't think I'll experiment with this particular pepper anymore as the results were rather painful . But I might play with my jalapenos as they are not quite as deadly. |

I accidentally smoked a piece of the hottest pepper in the world & I thought I was on fire from the inside out... it was awful! Lemon juice was the one thing that just killed it enough so I could at least breathe then continued to help lol. |
