I'm growing some poblano peppers right now. Those are about as "hot" as I like it. They are very very mild and just add a tiny bit of heat.
This is MY pepper plant that I grew up from a tiny little sprout.This was taken about a month ago. I should take more pictures because there are more peppers on it now. That was my first pepper though.

o that i can see...they do look eye appealing....they are cute but deadly
One time, I was making snacks for a Super Bowl party, and I marinated chicken wings overnight in this Chinese "sweet and spicy" Garlic sauce. That was the HOTTEST stuff ever. We could barely manage to even eat them. It even burned your cheek if you got some on your cheek!
I probably should have tasted it first before I just marinated the chicken in it, but I was kind of trying to hurry and get things prepared.Any time it is some authentic Chinese sauce, be sure to taste it first. They have some REALLY hot sauces.
I don't appreciate that kind of heat
The hotness should complement the main course, it should not be a contest over how much pain you can endure
It's all about what you're used to.
I wouldnt cook with the Carolina Reaper but the Scotch Bonnet/Habanero is well within my comfort zone.

I know where you are coming from
I used to work with a guy from Arizona. We went out to eat at a Maryland crab house and he ordered crab cakes. When they came, he asked for a bottle of Tabasco sauce. They looked at him oddly and brought out a bottle still in the box. He went through that bottle and asked for a second
He explained his taste buds are burnt out and he can't enjoy food without the heat
You who like the wicked hot foods, do you poop molten lava?
In June of this year, I made a reservation through Booking.com for a three bedroom apartment in New York City for the period 26 September – 4 October 2017. The name of the apartment corporation was listed as Bloc Away From Central Park.
The total cost of the apartment was listed as $5227.
Two days prior to our arrival in New York, I contacted the person named in the emails I had received from Bloc Away and let him know our airline flight arrived late on the evening of 26 September. He told me he would leave the apartment unlocked and the keys on the kitchen counter.
We arrived at the apartment building about 9:30 pm on 26 September. It was evident this was a residential apartment building, and the lobby guard seemed unfamiliar with the side business which the apartment management had going with booking.com, and it took some time for us to be allowed to enter the building.
As we finally were allowed in, and exited the elevator on the 8th floor where the apartment we rented is located, we could see the whole floor was under renovation. The hallway carpet still had plastic covering it.
The apartment is a three bedroom apartment, with a living room and kitchen.
We entered our apartment and found the kitchen and one of the bedrooms were completely dark. Nothing was working in either of these rooms.
Two bedrooms and the kitchen had window air conditioner units. The darkened bedroom had a portable air conditioner unit and a halogen lamp.
I immediately went down to the lobby to inform the guard there was no electricity in half the apartment. She contacted maintenance, and a man came and showed me the circuit breaker box by the front door. He showed me where the tripped circuit breaker was and then left.
A minute or so after the maintenance man left, the lights went out again. And this time, they also went out in the master bedroom, as well as one of the kid’s bedrooms and the kitchen.
I opened the circuit breaker panel and found SEVERAL breakers had tripped. As I reset them, the surrounding metal frame of the circuit breaker panel swung down. Three of the four screws which are supposed to secure the panel were missing! It was barely attached to the wall and a major safety hazard.
I reset several circuit breakers, and they immediately tripped again. So I went around the darkened rooms and shut off all light switches, and unplugged all the lamps and air conditioners, and tried again.
The circuit breakers all tripped again.
I contacted the lobby again, and they informed me the maintenance people had left for the night, and they informed me the apartment manager would not be back until 9 o’clock the following morning.
So I called booking.com and expressed my outrage to them they had booked us into a firetrap, and demanded they immediately relocate us. They told me there was nothing they could do until the apartment manager returned in the morning.
We spent the evening in a darkened, hot apartment. The temperature approached 100 degrees.
I also noticed the air conditioner in the kitchen had a power cord which could not reach any outlet in the kitchen. It was too far away!
This whole deal was an obvious sham from the start.
The following morning, I contacted booking.com at 9 sharp. They contacted the apartment manager while I was put on hold, and then booking.com informed me the apartment manager would respond to our situation in TWO OR THREE DAYS!
We were booked for eight nights. They wanted us to live in the dark in a firetrap for three out of those eight nights.
This apartment was clearly not completed with its renovations, and there was something seriously wrong with the wiring. I absolutely was not going to live for three days in a $5227 firetrap with no electricity, and put the safety of my wife and children at risk.
Booking.com refused to relocate us, so we were forced to pack up and leave and find a place in New York City on our own with no notice. It was at this point I contacted my bank to cancel the $5227 charges to my credit card.
Avoid Booking.com at all costs when planning a trip.

I like crab cakes cakes and wouldnt think of putting hot sauce on them.
The only time I want some heat is in Mexican food and Jamaican food.
When I say spicy I mean more robust flavors like say Blackened Redfish.

I had crab cakes, clam chowder and coconut shrimp for dinner the other night! I don't usually like coconut, but I love coconut shrimp.

Love all of those myself.
Although it's a little hard to find decent Clam Chowder down here.
And dont get me started on Coconut shrimp.
It took the wife and I about a half dozen attempts before we got them right.
This is the secret to getting that sweet taste.

I've never had it. Is it very fishy tasting? I don't like the fishier tasting fishes. I like the fishes that are white and flakey and kind of sweet.

Not fishy tasting at all but it's far from sweet.
When we make it we do it in the outdoor kitchen because it produces a crazy amount of smoke.
Here's whats in the seasoning to give you an idea of taste.

Have you ever had stuffed quahogs? Those are delicious too, and it is normal to eat those with tabasco sauce around here!

I usually use a beer batter with coconut milk in it and then I dredge them in shredded sweetened coconut.
We tried that and the deep fry burns the sugars in the coconut and made them bitter.
We do the coco lopez first,then a beer batter and finish with unsweetened coconut.
The beer batter protects the sugars in the Coco Lopez.

Quahogs are just a big clam.
Sounds like a much better deal than that Booking.com mess.$2907.10 for 7 nights for one room with a king size bed and a foldout bed. Same price for the second room with two queens. That includes all the various taxes.I ended up at the Sheraton at Time Square. They told me I was lucky they had rooms available. They usually host the Clinton Initiative every year at this time of year, but the convention went somewhere else this year.
So I joked, "Why? Did you guys vote for Trump or something?"
They were not amused.
How much a night, just curious ..
