My tongue was on fire from a food sample!

While in line to order some havarti cheese in the deli section, I asked my boyfriend if he could go get me a sample. It was noon and we hadn't ate yet since we were running errands in the morning. From where I was standing the sample looked to be some sort of cheese spread that you had to spread on crackers yourself.
He smothered a good amount of the cheese spread and I just 'assumed' it was cheese and chives and crackers. As I put the entire thing in my mouth since he feed me...... it was good then my tongue was on fire! It was a spicy spread! 
I asked him what the spread was and he didn't even check! He thought I knew. My tongue was burning and the guy cutting havarti cheese chuckled a little.

I only like spicy noodles sometimes or beef jerky once in a while. But but, I would be prepared with a beverage. :)

@infatuatedbby It's the thought that counts.
Were you able to get something to dispel the heat?

I chuckled reading your post. Its free and sounds like once you can get a drink it will be great. I would need the drink first, as I don't eat spicy food.

It is often a good idea to take precautions before putting strange things in your mouth

@infatuatedbby - I do like spicy to a point, but eventually it's just too hot.

One of my clients loves anything that is super spicy hot. I bought her habanero cheese and she loved it. Just so I could say I tried it, I sampled a small piece of it. Yeah, I regretted that one!

I think some read the sample sign though but I think some could be tricked if they did not pay attention.

Being a Hispanic, I like hot and spicy foods but I need to talk it easy. After a while, it can damage your stomach. Maybe that cheese you ate might have had some jalapenos.

I think it had jalapeños or some sort of spice! :) Yes, Hispanic enjoys spicy. So does some Asian cultures, but not myself. I cant handle it!
