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:
