Most Americans I know think that authentic Mexican food is hot. I've been all over the world, and the hottest food I ever had -- without doubt -- was in Thailand. Think back to your time in the gas chamber in boot. You're sweating, eyes are tearing, and so much mucous is pouring out of every orifice, you never knew you had so much! THAT's precisely what happened to me when I had HOT Thai food.

The Royal Thai Regiment was attacked to my division (the 9th) in Vietnam and we were invited to an evening of dinner and kick boxing. Anyone who could eat all that was placed before them earned a dragon pin. That pin became highly respected.

Ghost pepper. I ate it and it was terrible. My mouth was on fire and my dumb ass drank soda to try and dull the pain which made it worse. I ended up throwing it up about 2 min later. Worst experience ever.

Only memory I have is cooking with my wife (nigerian/puerto rican) and I'm helping her prepare food and she pulls all these peppers. I start cutting up these small green ones, take a small bite and keep going. Nothing for the first five seconds - make the dumbass move of rubbing my eyes. Lo and behold, the great fires of Ifirt engulf my mouth as I start searching for anything to sedate the blaze. Soon after, my eyes ignite as I find the sink and attempt to burrow my head into the minute stream of the faucet.

Still don't know what I ate, but I suggest having the CIA research new interrogation techniques with whatever I ate.

y, a Laotian (their food is very similar to Thai) girlfriend and I loved sharing spicy foods. We once made the mistake of not completely washing our hands before.. well, let's just say we learned the hard way - that you always wash before touching any sensitive areas after eating spicy food!!

Addendum to this story, I also failed to wash my hands when using the bathroom after this incident. I'm not sure what it's like to have chlamydia, but I have an idea.
