I still have a friend in Texas of Hispanic ancestry. I asked him once about Dave's Insanity Sauce. He had never heard of it, so I sent him a bottle of it. I had mentioned to try one drop at a time as the bottle also mentioned.
He never said anything about receiving it, so at our next meeting I asked. His wife started laughing. He had poured almost the entire bottle over his food before taking a bite. He almost ended up in the hospital. He forgot the warning and assumed it was a prank.
So Cal let me know if I should send you an eye-dropper.
Yesterday's food prank was we were lunching at a sandwich (Philly style) shop when a pair of mates came in after we ordered and took the next table. I mentioned to the waitress that I knew (Once worked a bit for me) that it might me humorous if she mis-served them.
Out came their sandwiches but without the normal fries. "Oh you didn't order them with fries!" After the moment of anguish, she then gave them the fries. Yes the looks and reaction were humorous.
Absolutely, and that Balvenie page is one of the worst I have seen. They used to make something called "The Balvenie", you could get it in a couple of ages, now they need a separate pavilion at a whisky show.
Yes they tend to get flabby with too much aging. A few years ago Glenfiddich released a 25-year old at a reasonable price, I suspect because it wasn't that good. I gather someone found a cask that had been misplaced in the warehouse, they tasted it and decided to release it because it was no good for blending.
My "usual" used to be Talisker (10 yr old) but it has become very expensive, and even they now have something called "Navigator" alongside their perfect peaty 10.
Thanks Ed.
You know, the Thai chili can be very rewarding if administered correctly. I think I came close to an overdose.
As things began to close in around me I swear I could see a white light and hear an angel's voice beckoning me. Next thing I know, I'm on the floor, my wife is splashing water on me asking if I needed an ambulance.
"No thanks but I could sure use a beer and some help getting up. I think I banged my head."
Cal,
My experience the first time you think you are about to die, time really does slow down and your life flashes before your eyes. Second experience, time slows down but the eyes just get an update...
Now as to your tale with a slight modification the wife can be the angel.
But in reality if you loose consciousness that is worth at the very least being woken up regularly to be sure it ain't serious. Hate to see an obituary for you listing a cause of death being complications from eating.
In my case there is nothing left upstairs to worry about.

I have the Single Barrel 15 year. Quite nice, but I only drink it once a year when my son in law is in town (July 4th).
I don't remember which one I gave him.
Cal,
In that case you might like my recipe for spicy chili.
2 ounces beef fat, 1/2 diced onion, 4 ounces ground beef, 1/4 teaspoon salt and two large bags of Chinese red peppers.
I use one teaspoon of the spicy version to heat up a quart of my "mild" five pepper chili with beans.
When my younger brother got back from school in Texas he decide to eat a full bowl of my hot version. He turned completely red, but did finish the bowl. He has never tried it since then.

I simply can't understand the masochism in going anywhere near chillis that induce real pain. Thai chillis I find have a sour taste, especially the green ones.
When we lived in Spain we had a Spanish friend whose lady was Italian and her father gave her some seeds for me , they were from South America and from the rain forest. They grew like miniature christmas trees and the small bell like fruit would ripen at different times so there was a colour show from white, green, yellow, orange and finally red and best of all they produced a sweet heat that was really nice. Sadly the seeds I kept were lost in moving from Spain to France.
I lived behind the Snowy mountains in Guadix and in the foothillls they grew chillis that looked like Jalopinos, not nice at all. I was given some to try in a bar as a tapa. I had complained to the bar owner that chillis were hard to find in that part of Spain. Everyone stopped to see my re-action. If they had been human, the police would have arrested them for brutal assault and battery of the mouth. The weird thing is they left the body with zero effect.
The French don't really like spicy food at all, so I was surprised at a street marche de jardin to find some stalls sellling chilli plants. One such produces quite big plants that can and do produce nearly a kilo per plant.They looked like Jalopinos and the heat is entirely unpredictable and not related to ripeness. Strangely when they are fully ripe and red They can have little heat at all.
I'm a salad junkie, normally seven days a week to accompany a lot of meals. Not always but mostly I always cut very thin pieces of chilli and mix with the salad, does anyone else do this. Also I add thin strips to a lot of meals as well, if you hav'nt tried it do so, you may well it.

Rainbow peppers:
Rainbow Chili Peppers Seeds – Jack Seeds
I've grown them, but didn't like the flavor.
I still have jalapenos, and Habanero peppers to pick. I'm waiting for the frost to come.
