"It's Not Funny!"

It seems that you have to get used to the hot flavour. And while the situation might "seem" funny, it really isn`t. I suppose he never thought for a minute that your reaction would be so big. Forgive him, this once

Wow! That is hot. I only like Louisiana hot sauce. I can't stand anything hotter. One of my old friends gave me a chicken wing cooked with some kind of el scortcho pepper on them. I hate a sore mouth for hours from the burn.

Drink milk. That will coat your mouth and esophagus to shield it from the burning. I don't like hot foods, either and I wouldn't think it was funny! It does give you an excuse to "get back at him" though.

For people who don't really eat hot and spicy food, taking just a bite would be a big trouble. It is like your mouth is on fire. It is no laughing matter indeed for them. I used to dread hot and spicy food as well and would hate anyone who foolishly add chili on my food. But as I learned eating such kind of food from my husband, I now found myself craving for such. It is like my meal is incomplete without something hot and spicy.

Eat a few teaspoonfuls of sugar quickly and this will help

Ouch!!! I can imagine what was going in your mouth...and your mind...Ouch again...LOL..but it really wasn't his fault what happen..I mean if you moved to fast maybe he did not have time to warn you or maybe he was just trying to teach you a lesson...sorry...

Cheesecake is supposed to be the perfect cure for the burn. It is oily and sweet. I accidentally cooked with some habaneros one time. I had bought pepper plants at my friendly local Wal Mart. Warning!!!! Often the plant labels come out and people helpfully put them back in randomly, or maybe it happened at the suppliers. All I really know is that I had these peppers that were supposed to be bell peppers growing in a container. They bloomed, set on peppers, kinda late in the season. I kept waiting for them to get big, but they stayed small, so I figured they got stunted from not enough water or too much sun. They also never really turned red, and we were expecting a freeze. So I picked these five or so stunted orange peppers and proceeded to add them to some things I was making. I chopped them really finely in potato salad, as it gave a nice color. I chopped them finely into some potato soup as well. I had a massive amount of potatoes that needed to be used up. Hubby enjoyed them, and I suffered. I did not learn what they really were until I saw some in Dillons store, in the organic section. I will not make that mistake again.

That sounds like my whole family. We do things like that often and laugh at each other. As long as it doesn't hurt the other person we really don't see the harm. We would never hurt each other but a joke is a joke no matter who it's on.

It is and it isn't, funny, that is. How's your mouth doing now? Hope your tummy isn't complaining, either.

Well, i am glad to see that you were able to get some relief from the hotness. I like a little bit of hot, but I don't think I would be able to handle a habanero pepper.

I don't like spicey food either! People have tried to get me try spicey food and I won't do it! I am also not a lover of peppers,no matter if they are mild or hot! I did try some curry chickenonce,that some students from Nepal made at the college I work at. The people from Nepal love their food really,really spicey! My mouth was not happy that I tried the curry chicken! I ran to get some water to get rid of all that curry! It took some time and I never will do that again!

I could just imagine how you and your husband.......your husband was really laughing hard about it coz you absent-mindedly took a bite form his food. I hope you are fine now..... I am your exact opposite. I love spicy food. I don't know why, but I just love it. I remember I was pregnant with my 3rd son. I used to crave for spicy food. I ask my husband to buy me an order of "Bicol Express". It is meat cooked in coconut milk and with lots of red chilli peppers. But I was not contented with it, I still add a few drops of Tabasco sauce over it.

I like spicy foods but not ones that give me pain while eating them. When I was pregnant with my 4th child though I wanted Hot wings as hot as they could make them and I would eat them without a sweat, while my husband who likes them hot would be sweating from the hotness. By the way she is my Hot, sassy, daughter, guess the hot spicy foods proved you are what you eat.

I also like spicy foods but on a mild level only. I don't like habanero-level of spiciness. And as someone who is sensitive to foods that get a little bit too spicy, I can just sympathize with you. I also have a husband who likes to play me around and I just play along and have laughs with him. But whenever it causes me discomforts I tell him it's not funny at all. He is quick to apologize though and sometimes I would take advantage of it by asking something from him!

that's the kind of stuff my husband would do!! that's not funny.... but after you think about it 5 years later you can giggle. In the moment you want to punch them in the face!! LOL

I'm sorry it made you so uncomfortable, but thanks for the amusing tale! : ) It reminds me of when I went out to eat once with my Nana. We were at a Chinese restaurant. She had sushi on her plate. I was shocked because she didn't seem the kind of person to like sushi. But since she frequently ate at Asian restaurants I assumed she had developed a taste. She took one bite, made a horrible face, and spit it out in her napkin. She hadn't known it was sushi!

He would get along well with my son who is a fire eater also. I however like just a bit spicy...not the hot stuff. One time I was cutting halapenos and my son was quite little and he picked up a piece and popped it into his mouth...he ran crying through the house screaming about his mouth being on fire. I laughed so hard the tears were coming down so I wiped my eyes forgetting I had the juice on my fingers and man did that burn!

oh god i know what you mean. my son also loves hot food and then wonders why he has terrible heart burn! i tell him hes burning up his whole digestive system. once he got some pizzas to bake. he baked one and offered me some. so i tried a piece since i love pizza also. but it was so spicey hot! i couldnt believe it. i looked at the box and it said fire baked. obviously these are more spicey then others. i always check the type now. lol

He is trying to make a joke out of it Jodee, because he knows that if you are not busy you will not just take a grab of it but would ask if it's spicy. Maybe you can warn him that next time he does that, he will not sleep with you in your bedroom.

hi dear Jodee I love really hot food so you bet I would be a happy camper if I could try your husbands cooking. Fresh Habaneros sound good to me. LOL. My husband also likes spicy foods but unfortunately he gets nosebleeds from it so we have to cut back on these nice spicy things we love to eat.
