I managed to grab the wrong sauce when making tacos.. thought I used Tabasco, it actually was Dave's Ghost Pepper Jolokia Sauce.. I like my food spicy, but even I got limits.
I may or may not regret this tomorrow

Have you tried the Carolina Reaper puree from Pucker Butt Pepper Co? If you like the naga sauces, and want something with similar heat, but very different flavor, give it a shot. I'm almost finished with my first bottle, and definitely gonna get a second one.

Never heard of that one, but I live in Norway, kinda hard to get proper hot sauces here. I've got a bottle of Hell's Inferno naga bhut jolokia sauce tho' and i like the taste of naga, but more a fan of the habanero. It's not that I want the sauce to be as hot as it can be, I just like the taste. But THIS time, I fucked up.. if I want the taste of tabasco on me tacos I use about half a bottle pr 500 grams meat... so I did... only it was Daves ghost pepper sauce, and yeah..

That is pretty funny. Good for you to power through the tacos anyways, and not just throw them away. I've never accidentally switches sauces, cause all mine tend to be in distinctly shaped bottles. But I HAVE dumped way more sauce then I wanted to. Like, "alright here were go, just a couple of drops and BOOM. Well, this is gonna be a warm one."

Damn dude! You have ghost pepper sauce on hand? That's hard core.

Well, I have a pretty severe cold right now, so the hot sauce could be a good thing ;) I've also dumped a TON of sour cream on the tacos :P And I grow my own habaneros, so I'm used to hot food. But yeah, this is friggin' stupid. But hey, never throw away food.

I've got several bottles mate. The thing about hot food/sauce is that you get addicted, no I'm NOT kidding.. and you build a tolerance, much like heroin addicts actually. Capsaicin is in a way a poison... Same thing as with Alcohol and/or Nicotin.. If I'm to be really honest, I'd LOVE it if I could get that hot burning sensation from tabasco, because getting indian food feels sort of insane now, as in "yeah, I'd like the hottest you have please, and add more peppers please.."

And here I am with crawfish I think are too hot.

Also, celery sticks for easing any lingering stomach cramps. Weird tip, but it works.

I think you're the lucky one, you've probably got more tastebuds than me mate. I started eating raw jalapenos at the age of 10. Ate my first raw habanero at the age of 25.. and I'm not saying this to be "cool".. It actually IS a drawback. because now I'm 33 (well almost) and could probably cope with a tiny slice of raw Naga.

Yeah, 'bout that.. I HATE celery, don't like the taste what so ever.. :)

Made a horrible mistake using Dave's Insanity Sauce once. After eating the chili I let one of my cats lick the bowl. That is the only time I ever saw a cat cry. Oh and I was crying later.

Yeah.. ahm...Daves Ghost Pepper Sauce is twice the heat... so yeah.

I don't believe a word of this.
But only because you should be dead right now. Dead people can't post.
PS: I'm sorry you're dead. R.I.P

What Andy says is so very true. You build a tolerance over time, and the capsaicin gives 'chili-heads' an endorphin rush that you become addicted to. Well, addicted might be too strong a word, but certainly a strong cravings. Ah who am I kidding, I'm totally addicted. I used to not even be able to handle a bunch of tobasco, and now I actually eat ghost pepper spiked tomato juice every afternoon at work.

And building up a good heat tolerance isn't macho braggadocio, it has opened me up to flavors and cuisines that I never could have appreciated before. Being able to eat super-hots means I have tasted the very different flavors of jalapeno, serrano, thai chilis, habenero, scotch bonnet, jolokias, and the extract-based sauces. Plus I can comfortably eat anything in a Thai, Indian, or Sezchuan restaurant, which gives me a confidence to order whatever, and be able to enjoy it.
