Can you eat a Habanero straight??

[Necrocannibal,]

Not mixed in any foods or anything just srtaight up eat one.


This question arose in my head as Im sitting here munching on Habs for lunch. Obviously I can.

[QuadShotz]

Yup.

[arkangel06]

can you eat a jaloka ?

[imaguitargod]

Not mixed in any foods or anything just srtaight up eat one.
Yep.

can you eat a jaloka ?
Also a yep.

[POTAWIE]

I can, and I have, but probably never again, and the same goes with the nagas and scorpions.

[menguyen89]

standard orange habanero's don't seem to be a thing... they burn my mouth ALOT but no other effects. I've got these other peppers called goats weed. these peppers burn so bad that my ears start hurting really bad and sometimes my hearing is impaired. if it lasts to long my arms start to tremble. ahhaha
haha anyone else ever get that? the deafness and the shakes?

[cmpman1974]

I won't. I enjoy them in cooking, powders, etc., but I won't do that. :)

Chris

[talas]

Cut them up and put them on pizzas,Fajitas etc..Orange habs are damn nice to munch on :)

[rainbowberry]

Yep for a hab or naga. Maybe the Naga wasn't too sensible but I've never used milk, only once last week for my hands after de-seeding. You've got to try these things.

[Sickmont]

Yep. Never had a naga though. But my caribbean reds are a lot meaner than your standard orange habs and i eat them all the time straight.....they burn for like 15 - 20 minutes

[Skyjerk]

This question arose in my head as Im sitting here munching on Habs for lunch. Obviously I can.

I have eaten a whole Caribbean Red Habanero (just last week) but I'm not gonna pretend I enjoyed the experience. I did not enjoy it. In fact, it sucked and I am unlikely to ever do it again.

I did it because I felt obligated (cuz I grow em now), and of course I wanted to be able to say that I have done it here in the land of pepperheads.
Call it getting some street cred :)

I do not believe that anyone can eat entire superhots, Naga's etc, and actually claim that they enjoy it.

I believe that they may enjoy the idea that they do it, and the notoriety that may come from doing it, but not the actual doing.

[POTAWIE]

I don't agree with that at all. I think it all has to do with your heat tolerance. Some might find a hab or naga as hot as I find a jalapeno, and I enjoy jalapenos

[Steve973]

I don't know if I can, but I probably won't do it. That doesn't go for each and every c.chinense, but not habaneros.

[Sanj]

Can you eat a Habanero straight??


Probably, but WHY?

Can you drink 12 packs on one setting?
Can you drink a gallon of milk?

:P

[Omri]

Can you drink 12 packs on one setting?
Yes.
Can you drink a gallon of milk?
Yep.

[Skyjerk]

I don't agree with that at all.

No offense, but in spite of that fact, I will still stand by my opinion :)

I will qualify it by saying that if there are folks out there that experience a Naga Morich like you or I might feel a jalapeno, then they did indeed suffer a lot before reaching that point, or there is something the matter with their ability to feel pain. :)

If they feel it all and started out enjoying that level of burn right off the bat, then they prolly also enjoy being tied up and whipped :hell:

[Sickmont]

Probably, but WHY?
because. i. can.
Can you drink 12 packs on one setting?
yes. i do it very often
Can you drink a gallon of milk?
yes, but not as often as clobbering a twelver

[Sickmont]

then they prolly also enjoy being tied up and whipped :hell:

yes, in fact i do.

[Canuk Pepperhead]

Id eat my carrabian reds right out of my garden as I was harvesting..Jolokia???wow what a ride that was..Do it again...possibly lol

Ya haven't seen hippy and my vids then.

We do enjoy the rush and the experience of the Nagas.

Nobody twisted our arms nor was it for a macho dare..we just like it and wanted to share the experience.

n/c on the whipping...I'm more of a dom than a subby tyvm. ;)

Just give Neil a Holla !... he would eat a tablespoon of battery acid and say ' yum, this is great ! tastes a bit fruity..applish, but yay yum '

he's done it all and loves it !

:lol:

[fineexampl]

Yeah, i can and have eaten a whole hab right from the garden. Was it easy? Yeah. Was it fun? Also yeah. Did it hurt? Whole lot of yeah! Would i do it again? Yeah, if i was feeling froggy i might jump.

Now, i'm not sure about the naga. I have some growing now. Ask me next month. I'm pretty much petrified of them, though i am dying to cook with them.

[imaguitargod]

Ok, I enjoyed the burn from the bigining of my tolerance to it's current MECHA level of tolerance. Pain's been a very large part of my life so I've always been used to it. Don't like pain, but it doesn't bother me as much as others.

When it comes to cap induced pain, I feel it's different type of pain so I really really enjoy the burn. It's a blast. We all know I've done the Naga and the bhut (still say they are the same). I've done it over and over again. I love it. For the record, I don't like being tied up or whipped.....I'm a slow and steady lover but like it dirty occasionally.....no donkies....

: looks at Sickmont's avatar :

Definitly, no donkies.

[QuadShotz]

It's ok mang...

[ImpyChick]

Yes, I can. And I actually enjoy the taste & heat of habaneros. Let me qualify that by saying that the ones I get are from supermarkets & probably aren't as hot as homegrown. I'm not certain of that, just a guess. And I have also found that heat varies somewhat from pepper to pepper. Some habs give me great flavor & great (but enjoyable) burn. Others leave me gasping for breath. But, I still eat them. Granted, most of my hab consumption is from chopping them up & putting them in food, but still.

[Mister_Al]

Yes, I can eat a habanero straight--I just don't. I like the way they taste with food so that's the way I eat them.

Alan

[Chiliac]

I can and I know it and that's good enough for me. No reason to do it again.

[NatGreenMeds]

I've never eaten an entire hot pepper of any kind at once. I do enjoy eating a piece of one each time I make something with any type of pepper. It's become a standard to me to try a piece each time.

I love to cook. I learned from a world class Chef, many, many years ago. One of the things a person who is going to cook for a living must do is learn how to judge how something will taste when combined with other foods or when cooked in a particular manner. "Tasting" a recipe by reading it is a MUST for any professional cook. To gain this ability, you have to become intimately familiar with each type of food as it tastes in very exact circumstances. That includes raw in many cases such as peppers.

My tolerance is pretty high, but not so much that I would enjoy an entire pepper of any kind. It would be a sensory overload to me. I'll stick with a piece of each one as I use them.

On another aspect of the "eating whole peppers" thing, there are a lot of different types of people out there. Some like to eat certain foods more than other people enjoy eating them. My God, look at Chocolate, Wine, individual types of meats as well as thousands of others. There are people who simply LOVE certain types of food or food that is cooked in a particular manner.

It's not strange or even uncommon. I mean really, who would think that you'd find people who LOVE to eat whole hot peppers on a group that is available world wide and NAMED "The Hot Pepper"???

hehe, actually, I'm surprised that there isn't more than there is on the group. It's obviously a magnet for those who enjoy this particular type of food more than others.

Good luck to all of you! I'm glad that there is so many types of people in the world. It keeps it interesting!!!!

Most of my pepper usage is in the rice dishes I enjoy so much. I do put a lot of them in some dishes. I love the flavor and the heat.

[stillmanz]

I only eat whole chillis for beer or money....

[Pepper Belly]

Not mixed in any foods or anything just straight up eat one.


This question arose in my head as I'm sitting here munching on Habs for lunch. Obviously I can.

Welcome to The Hot Pepper, most of the members here believe Tabasco is only a cheap mouthwash when they run outa Listerine, and Jalapenos they snack on as candy. I gotta admit I am not in there league, they just let me hang out here and ask dumb questions. And be careful of imaguitargod, that boy isn't sane ;) .

[fineexampl]

good way to go about it!;)

[hixs]

Actually had 1`st orange of the season last night.Damn near killed a friend of mine when he bit into a red. Ate half a block of cheese afterwards but better than cleaning out my beer fridge.! Ate 1 of my reds last yr and decided not again better in jerky and food.

Hey, some people in the world do like that kind of stuff:lol:. It's not my thing, but I've always had a high pain tolerance. I remember one time I stabbed myself in the thigh with my hunting knife by accident. 2 inches deep to the bone,and an inch wide. What did I do. Walk upstairs to who is now my wife. Smoke a cigarette and calmly tell her I needed to go to the ER. She said.....Bull FU@#ing shit prove it. Well, I dropped my pants and her eyes bulged out of her head. (Well.......I know I opened the door for something else, but not that this time.LOL!) We went to the hospital and I watched the doc to everything. There was even this kidney bean looking thing in my wound. He said. What's this little guy here? The dork poked it and it squirted. I was thinking. Well my vein you retard. I thought the whole ordeal was cool. I'm not right though. I still wouldn't intentionally harm myself though. Now about those orange habs. Yeah, they are definitely hot when they are fresh, and do give me the hickups, but I enjoy the endorphin rush I get from them. Everynow and then if I have some I pop one in my mouth.

[theHippySeedCo]

a Hab,

dunno, i may have to try :shocked: might be a bit hot though


lol

[Tippy]

get the milk in Neil

[rabbit]

get the milk in Neil

Now Neil is a man with a tolerance that I bow down to!!! The hab I like to eat whole and is honestly my max without milk. However, I do get a REALLLY good endorphine rush. I want to eat a whole Naga too when it's ripe. It'll kick my A@#, but I just have too. Neil......milk.......I don't see it possible unless it's crystals or something:lol:

[chilehunter]

yea I can eat a orange hab pod w/o anything, I also do enjoy eating other hot chile pods fresh while eating other foods. but I'll admit just the pod alone its hot! but I can do it no problem. but I'd rather eat them with other foods.
I like to taste each chile I grow by eating at least 1 fresh pod, to decide if I like'em or not.

Hixs I ate one of the Carribean Reds you sent and let me tell you, an Orange Hab isnt even in the ame league as that pepper. That was a hot SOB.

[Sickmont]

Hixs I ate one of the Carribean Reds you sent and let me tell you, an Orange Hab isnt even in the ame league as that pepper. That was a hot SOB.

Oh, yeah they are. My reds burn for a good solid 25-35 minutes easy. I've never had anything torch me like that for such a long time. I absolutely love 'em for that!

[moyboy]

I've had a whole choc hab, orange hab, red hab, goats weed & Tabasco.

Not saying i really enjoyed any of them, but hey, i have to prove myself to you all some how.

*looks on youtube and finds 0 videos uploaded for moyboy*

Dam no proof. Bugger.....:P

The most painful had to be the goatsweed. If i can get any going this year i will send some to neil.

I have Bhut, Bih and Naga Morich growing this season so in a few months i will have done the lot, and the thought of that has me truly shaking at the knees...:lol:

[QuadShotz]

I will have to say I do prefer makign stuff with peppers than just eating 'em raw. But mincing up a whole orange hab into a bit of onion, pickle and mayo just rocks on a sandwich. I do that daily. :)

I like layering flavors..like putting diced habs with NagaSav and garlic..that's a great flavor/heat combo.

I do enjoy the flavors and rush from just munching on a stoopidly hot pepper though. Gotta eat your veggies eh?

[hixs]

Well glad to hear it necro,, Hate to think I let you down.As for your post on scorps,,,I`ll post mine in the next 48 hrs as a comparison being as their all siblings.Let me know if you need more any time soon.Have a good one.By the way the lil purple ones are so much nicer on the after burners. LOL

[skealo]

I was able to eat half of one. I'll be doing more soon.

I was floored by the flavor of the orange hab. Like nothing I'd even eaten before. Its not like I've had many peppers though.

When you cut up a orange hab on a sandwich is the heat diminished at all? The flavor still powerful?

I know I should try but I figured I'd ask.

the flavor & heat stays, unless theres other ingredients in the sandwich to mellow the heat out, like cheese or maybe some type of sauce like mayo or ? if you put sauce on your sandwiches (not hot sauce)

try caribbean reds, now those have a better flavor & heat vs a orange hab, IMO

[rainbowberry]

Well I put two Orange Habs in a sandwich with cheese spread, lettuce, tomato and a bit of pickle, or in a sandwich with ham, salsa, lettuce and cucumber and just add salad cream/mayonnaise to it and it's not too hot then.

[skealo]

That makes a couple times that I've heard the Red Habs taste better. I'll hopefully be growing them next year If I get some seeds.

I think I'm going to try the sandwich with a orange hab.

[lostmind]

I just ate my first fresh picked orange hab whole and have to say... I got myself all worked up for nothing. It was hot and I think may even have had a tiny bit of flush in the face from it but I didn't find it all that bad.

It was tasty too.

The hab taste is very powerful though. I personally really think this thing needs to be used in grilling. Grilled meats and habs must be awesome. Tomorrow I find out :)

[QuadShotz]

Well, some are hotter than others, even on the same plant. ;)
I'm gona grow seeds from my EBIL Habs..and fry every1. They are stoopid hot.

I can eat one, have done it before, but will probably not do it again.

[Caustic Casey]

Last night I made up something I thought I could handle - I was wrong.
I took 12 Carribean red habs, cut them in half, stuffed them with cheddar, then wrapped them in bacon and grilled them.
I thought I was gonna have to go to the hospital. I could only eat one.
:mouthonfire:I will post pics later.

[Chiliac]

At least you gave it a try! See it that way and it'll be easier to take! :)

I'm not too sure if I'd want to have a dozen habs for dinner so R-E-S-P-E-C-T for trying!

[QuadShotz]

Regarding the sandwiches, I love making habanero mayo from scratch too. Nice with a spot of curry in it as well. :)

Although, more often than not I'll just make a sort of relish/spread out of mayo, with minced up sweet pickle, onions and habs. Yummmmmers!

That sounds outstanding! I'm gonna give that a go tomorrow.

[westcoastangler]

I ate a Fatalli since I grew it I had to try it and yes everyone here was right that they are hotter than a Caribbean Red. Last week I took a bite of a Naga Morrich and that is one hot a$$ pepper as my friend calls it the "Pinnacle of Pain". I don't think I will be just sitting around munching on those. I have noticed that my tolerance has increased and I keep needing to add hotter peppers to my food. Ask me the same question next year.

[JayT]

You know Fataliis are sneaky little b@$tards. I made a quesadilla last night and put a fair amount of the fatalii sauce I made on it. My mouth barely burned at all, but the sweat just rolled down my face/head/neck etc. It didn't seem like it was that hot, but halfway through the quesadilla I had to stop and regroup.

[AlabamaJack]

Nope, ain't gonna do it...I will retain my wuss status...I do, however, love cooking with them and making stuffed grilled peppers...I did eat a Trinidad Scorpion saturday when I made stuffed peppers and it took my breath away...I also stuffed a 7 Pot and am still tryig to finish it now...I can take tiny bites at a time...thats it...when I am in my garden, I usually pass by the tepins and grab one and eat it while I am outside..

[Pepper Ridge Farm]

I have had orange, red, chocolate, and white whole one way or another at some time but to tell you the truth you live and you learn. I eat all my super hot chopped finely the placed in the cheapest store bought salsa you can find, presto! Eating whole and straight is not very high on my list. Of all of them the white habanero is the most doable because of it size. They are so tempting beacause of the extreme fruity flavor that you know you'll find before the heat kicks in. I love habaneros!!!

[Steve973]

I've recently worked my way up to being able to eat a habanero. It's really not that bad, but you shouldn't go for it all at once. Start slowly with a pepper that you can (just barely) tolerate. Then move slowly upward, and before long, you'll also be able to eat a habanero without too much trouble. I have not tried a "super hot" yet, though.

[Shakes]

I received a shipment of fresh Bhut Jolokias, Devil Tongues, Fatallis and Red Savinas on Thursday and have been eating them raw all weekend.

In fact, right now I have a nice fresh Bhut Jolokia sitting next to me I'm going to have with my lunch.:hell:

[BigDogDaddy]

I sampled a small piece of a dried bhut yesterday...and it will be a couple days before I'll be ready to try a whole hab. Guaranteed!

[hixs]

Damn shakes wish I had your make up then I myself could cover the pain of the bhut!You the man!

[Brokensea]

I guess you build up a tolerance to it.

I can now munch whole Jalapenos, dipped in Kaitaia Fire hotsauce (a tiny bit hotter than Tabasco)

But I am conditioning my palette to eating hotter stuff.

Neil and Co who's videos are awesome - thats not something I aspire to. If I want to feel pain like that - I'll slam my nuts in a car door.

[Chiliac]

As long as you make a vid of it.... :)

Nah mate, nutters dont need mechanical devices, just chillies. ;)

Wellll, unless ya know a petite angnostic redhead who likes it hot....that';s different... ;-)

Oh, and i got over a pound fo the Funky Habs frozen fro me mates when they visit in couple weeks..shall be fun i wager. ;-)

Damn ebil chiles. I passed off some Bih Whiskey tonight to a chilehead bro...may god help the fools who he inflicts it on.

Hehehehe. Truly..that sheet is unholy hot after two months. Juzt not normal...it may not be extract, but it's damn close. 1/8 of a tsp in an 8oz glass of water, and it's too hot to drink.

I literally put like just a few drops in the morning coffee, and it burnssssss like hell decided to visit me early.

[Sid03SVT]

I've done orange hab straight, havent done a savina yet, and ive never tasted anything with jalokia (waiting on my plants to produce) but when they grow, you can bet im going to eat them straight, no matter what the pain i gotta do it at least once

[chilliman64]

I've done it a couple of times and each time it burns the hell out of me. maybe that's why when you see people eating really hot shit on youtube they sound like they are possessed by demons - it's the devil escaping from within...

[munchzilla]

I love habaneros, the taste is awesome and the burn is just perfect for me. The orange habs that is. I'm not sure I can do a red savina without getting a little uncomfortable yet... but the time will come.

Remember, Red Savina is still only around 500-600K SHU.

Thats about half or less of a Naga. And, they burn a LOT longer. :hell:

haha, yeah. well I guess I know what I've gotten myself into when I ordered the nagas... I'm actually really excited about it, should be a lot of fun. first time I tried a red savina it was just way too hot for me, but I had a fun time. the pain is just good. since the nagas are about twice as hot, it should be twice as fun, right? ;)
by the way, I haven't had a red savina in a good while, might have built up some tolerance to it... but I have my doubts. :D

Grow a frigging tomato plant! Cheap store bought salsa?????

Same here cheezy cant eat tomatoes straight it needs to be diced,in a salsa,Pizza for me to enjoy and i grew 15 toamato plants this year..iam starting to sample them a bit now :)

[cheezydemon]

Lol, to each their own, but......

The First Fresh salsa out of the garden each year is one of my greates joys!!

Grow onions, garlic, tomatos, peppers, and maybe cilantro, and add a little salt, you can have the freshest salsa on earth.

[Pepper Ridge Farm]

Cheezy I grow my own tomatoes and get a huge June harvest. My wife makes the best salsa out of canned tomatoes and my pickled jalapeno year round. The only reason I said cheap store bought is a fresh pepper out of your garden will even make this salsa terrific. Anytime I sample a new pepper I always finely chop and put in some salsa and sample. I don't recommend eating any superhots raw.

[cheezydemon]

Right on. I still would never buy salsa, but I am glad to hear you use homegrown canned, try fresh soetime!

[Sid03SVT]

i like certain salsas from the store, but they definately cant compare to fresh salsa; ive had hab salsa my buddy made, wasnt a fan, it was too thick, but the heat level was good, cant wait to try my bhut salsa, im a little worried about eating one of those straight, considering they are 3-4x hotter than an orange hab, and thats a pepper i can just barely handle...

[munchzilla]

whew, sitting here with a red savina on my desk and kind of doubting whether I should eath it or not... tempting but yet not :P bought 12 of them today

[imaguitargod]

Eat it and take pics for our enjoyment!

[Shakes]

After gorging on my fresh chile assortment from a few weeks ago, http://www.thehotpepper.com/showthread.php?t=7783, I pickled the rest of them. So far the pickled Fattallis were great. I still have jars of Bhut Jolokia, Fatalli, Devils Tongue and Red Savina. I prefer them raw but they'll do in a pinch.

[munchzilla]

whuew, hot hot hot hot. just ate a whole red savina.
I got hiccups too... kind of scared of doing the habanero poppers now o_o

edit: nah nevermind, I'm quite fine. I just get scared when I get hiccups. soo, is there any way to get rid of the hiccups?
hmm, I just realized I sometimes get hiccups from jalapeños too... and those aren't really hot.

edit2: too late didn't take any pics, but can take pictures of when I do the poppers. kind of excited now.

thanks

[cheezydemon]

hiccups can be controlled completely with the power of your mind.

I always relish the challenge!

You must focus on calming completely. I have to close my eyes.

Still I only do it 50% of the time, but it can be stopped by sheer will power.

[munchzilla]

really? I was pretty nervous before I ate it, so I guess if what you say is true that might have something to do with it? they did stop after about 15 seconds, but I had like 1 per second so it was pretty annoying.

Yes it can, i was taught this method by a friend about 4 years ago, we were drinking i got the the hiccups, had them for about an hour then my mate says "get rid of those hiccups" i say "
yeah right smartass" he says "You are more powerful than that, concentrate and they will go away". It worked, one just has to calm down, breath slowly and try not to think of hiccuping! Practise and you will be a master hiccup killer:)

[QuadShotz]

hiccups can be controlled completely with the power of your mind.

I always relish the challenge!

Yeah, I'd agree.

ALthough, I can't rememebr the last time I hiccuped. :)

Hey munchman, congrats on defeating the mighty Red Savina! Now all you have left to face is the slayer of false chiliheads, the incomprehensible, eye-opening, mind altering heat of the Indian cobra snake chilies. :hell:

Good luck.

heh, yep! I'll hopefully have those around the weekend. might record a video of me eating it if I find my camera. whew, hope I'll survive

[Shakes]

Does anyone else have this problem while eating raw chiles?
I have this unintentional bad habit of breathing in through my mouth as I'm chewing on a hab. All the chile fumes get sucked right down my wind pipe.

[munchzilla]

not having that issue, I just close my mouth and enjoy it.

by the way what I meant with defeating the red savina was without having to drink anything to it until the heat was gone.

I agree, you need to graduate to the Bhut Jolakia or the Naga Morich. This is my first year for both and love it!

on my way sir!

Don't forget the Fatali..it's in a class of it's own for both flavor and heat.

Or, try a Chocolate Habanero for "WTF..that's not a habanero" Fun. :)

IMO, pure pain and heat....Bih/Bhut Jolokia. Is just mean.

Nothgin like it. Like a punch in the throat...with fire. Morich/Dorset they have at least flavor then fire...not the Bih.

Has a sweetish, piqunte, almost floral start...for abotu 15-30 seconds. Then, IT BEGINS.

Then, after a minute, it REALLY begins. Then, about 3mins in, you wonder WHY you ever did this stoopidness because it hasn't peaked yet.. ;)

10-20 mins later, you remember to breathe again.

CHeers,

have been looking for fataliis but I can't find them anywhere near, at least not fruits. only seeds. would like to try growing my own but might be a bit expensive if I have to grow them inside, with all those lights and stuff I'll need.. or something

DAMN! I LOST!!!!!! I had the naga jolokia today, and shit shit shit it was hot. my stomach is really bad right now! the taste was nice for a couple of seconds but damn... never again!

I think I will stick to the habs and naga sauces instead. wow I feel a bit dizzy... really weird feeling.

[imaguitargod]

but damn... never again!
Trust me...you will do it again...we all do....

wow I feel a bit dizzy... really weird feeling.
Welcome to the endorphin rush. You'll get a feeling of euphoria, dizzy, and may see bright colors.

I can eat a bell or banana pepper! I can even tolerate an unripe Hungarian Hot Wax (love them on cheeseburgers) but that's about it.

well, I don't think I'll eat a fresh one just like that. but in food it actually works very well, does not get too hot either...

but I still want to try those scorpions and 7 pots....

[QuadShotz]

Curious..you said it was a naga jolokia?

Some of those are long and skinny PC-1 hybrids, and not near as hot as the "real" ones like the Naga Morich, Bih Jolokia or Bhut Jolokia.

The true ones are sorta hab-shaped but longer. :)

I DEMAND A RECIPE NOW!

pretty please :rolleyes:

And don't feel bad munchzilla, I feel your pain. I ate a whole chocolate habanero that made me throw up, burned the crap out of my stomach and burned worse on the way up. Same thing happened when I ate a piece of a T. Scorpion. I guess I'm just a hurler. I decided that for now when I try superhots I'm going to chew them up and spit them out. I still get the ridiculous burn but w/o the vomit :):onfire:

Hopefully one day my stomach will be as badass as the rest of me.

[NatGreenMeds]

oh maybe they were bhut jolokias, not sure of the difference
