Yes it would seem that Karlos succomed to his life long passion of food way too spicy to be healthy yesterday, and apparently is now prepairing to suffer the consiquences...
Now normally I'd never do this, but, I don't think that in this instance he'll mind from our discussion in ICQ:
Karlos: Hey, you live in Sheffield yeah? Thats not too far away.
Leander: Yeah, what of it?
Karlos: Well you might be able to see the mushroom cloud :-D
Leander: ROTFLMAO
So the next time you feel that particular call of nature, spare a thought for Karlos, who by now is probably having is lower half melted by the contents of what was his colon.. :-o

:lol:

I can feel the sluggish stirring of magma within :nervous:
I fear what may come - sitting on the throne, the anticipation of awaiting the inevitable. The tortured colonic tremors that fortell the coming sudden eruption; the gust of superheated steam as it hits the water; the lambent red glow rising from the depths of whatever survives of the lavatory...
Yes, I am afraid...
A truly chthonic experience awaits...

Well, I can joke about it, but seriously, that was nothing short of excruciating, not to mention indescribably unpleasant :-(
No more hot food for me! At least not for a week :lol:
Seriously, why do we do this to ourselves?
-
@karlos hope you recover soon mate as I will be popping by after Pools have hammered Stockport on the 26 Feb. I've promised a friend we will do a Rusholme.

Because the capsicum in hot food triggers pain receptors in the mouth, releasing endorphins which add a mild feeling of euphoria to what is already very tasty food. And that "hot coals" feeling in the stomach isn't bad either. Although it's all downhill from there. ;-)
Junkies have downers, drinkers have hangovers. We curry eaters end up having to put calamine lotion from the fridge on our toilet paper.

True, there is that...

And how. True on many levels. I pity the fishes now...

Say, that's a good idea :-D

Pity the pain receptors in one's bottom don't do the endorphrin rush thing as well, really.
Even after a shower I'm suffering the urge to sit in a bucketful of ice cold calamine lotion...

I think my bottom must be made from asbestos, as i very rarely get the "ringer stinger" these days. Just an unbelievably painful rumble in my stomach just prior to "release", followed by a calm satisfaction and a cold sweat!

Just sit with a wet sock between your cheeks and hope nobody notices the bulge.
-
Or the wet spot it causes?

It doesn't have to be one of bloodlines' cast offs does it? :-o

Here's the solution, mate:
cool the burn ;) (http://www.ice-batons.com/about.html)

I must have a body made for the stuff... the hotness wears off when it hits my stomach. :)

@T_Bone
You're probably on the wrong side of the Atlantic to have experienced truly hot food. The closest I think you could get over there is that mexican chili made with "special" peppers (hallucinations included for the price ;-)). You must try an extra-hot madras or a vindaloo one day, or even the Northern England special curry - the magnaloo. The magnaloo probably should come under the international agreements for chemical weapons. Think eating a can of mace.

@x-ray:
Sticking an icicle up one's arse?
'What are the three stages in 'ice therapy'?
The first stage is cold, the second is aching, which can sometimes hurt more than the pain itself. The third and most important stage is numbness. As soon as this is achieved, remove the ice'
:nervous:

The hottest dish I ever ate was in South Africa: chicken peri peri. I had too little means to quench the burning sensation on my lips and mouth (beer, rice, sugar), and the aftermath sure wasn't pleasant... But I did manage to earn the grudging respect of the waiter by eating the plate clean.
However, nowadays I tend to go easier on my bowels. I came across an article which indicated that there is a correlation between colon cancer and the regular intake of spicy food: the continuous inflammation isn't healthy for the sensitive tissue lining. In addition, I also want to taste something else besides 'hot' when eating eastern dishes.

@ Odin
At least Karlos has a choice: he can let his sphincter burn or freeze the thing.
:lol:
-
@ Cymric
Ja, there are very hot dishes in SA and I had a few unpleasant experiences there, so now I will only have a mild curry if at all.
The hottest thing I ever tasted was a thing that my father called a 'devil chilli'. I don't know what its proper name is, but the pods themselves were flattened, almost heart-shaped, with a dry brittle texture. I had a little taste. Once.
Never again.
-
Scotch Bonnet perhaps? Massive list of pepper varieties here. (http://www.g6csy.net/chile/var-s.html)
-
@ Turambar
No, it was flattend. It was about the size and almost the same shape as the red savina habanero on the same site (http://www.g6csy.net/chile/var-r.html)
Edit: it could also be the mishme or the lantern, but red and flattened.

Top tip:
Always consume generous amounts of yoghurt or milk after eating very hot food.
(Why do you think all the curry houses always have lots of yoghurt sauce and Mango lassi to hand?)

To be honest I think asian and american definitions of hot are totally different. I've eaten really hot (as in as bad as it is supposed to get) mexican food and whilst in the mouth it has that similar 'sucking the bar of an electric fire' effect, it quickly wears off. I suspect that could be behind T_Bones experience.
When it comes to asian hot food, the burning effect seems to increase with digestion...

Possibly, I've never experienced much asian hot food, with the exception of some great horseradish sauce they had at the Aloha in Rochester. (But horseradish is a different kind of hot to me, horseradish has a huge effect on me while most pepper based hot sauces don't seem to irritate me at all)
I used to use this stuff called Jamaican Hellfire, but I can't find it anymore, but someone has made something with a close name "jamaica hellfire"... no resemblance. The orignal was an additive > 2,000,000 scoville units, while this new imposter is just some kind of cajun seasoned tabasco sauce.
There's a medical reason I think I don't feel it the second time round, having to do with a digestion-related organ I had removed, but I won't get into that as it's kind of disgusting. :lol:
