Hot Hot Sauce
So... As I posted last week; I like hot hot sauce. Right? Right. If you know me in person you know I'm not afraid of mortal heat.
I found my match today; and it is MadDog MAgnum 357 sauce. It's supposed to be a one-drop-will-do-ya. Well, it glopped out onto my test chip at Pedro And Vinny's Burrito Cart (think FreeBird's in a cart, veg only, served by a friendly New Yorker in a big hurry); so I ate it, probably about a tablespoon in all.
Note that the "one drop" is one drop for an entire pot of chili, a whole hamburger, etc.
I teared up a bit on the way back to the office to enjoy my burrito laced with the much kinder, but very tasty Uncle Brutha's Fire Sauce No. 9 Chile Verde Garlic and Ginger . I was feeling a bit ill by the time I got back; then nauseous, and ended up in the bathroom preparing for Porcelain Goddess worship (I can't even remember the last time I had to pay homage for something I ingested). A few seconds later I woke up on the floor of the bathroom, sweating balls, and stumbled to our office's storage room and laid down to sweat, endure some GI burning pain, and contemplate my idiocy for a ~10 more minutes.
I'd say that the sauce needed a warning label, but probably the "Made with 6 million scoville unit extract" probably should've clued me in (the hottest variety of habanero, the red savina, comes in at around 500,000).
I'm feeling mostly normal now :)
I'd say that I've learned my lesson, but I probably haven't
