Chocolate bananas and other wonders of the food world

I was so disappointed by "Dave's Insanity Sauce". The £1 chili sauce from Tesco's is spicier than it.

Spice aficionados have been pushing the limits for so long that some guy just went ahead and started marketing pure capsaicin as a hot sauce. Eighteen million Scoville units in a little crack-vial-size bottle for like $200. Legend has it that a single grain of the stuff (it's granular, not liquid) made an entire casserole of chili too hot to eat.

I wouldn't doubt it. I don't have as high a tolerance for spicy foods as I once did so one grain of pure capaicin would probably kill me or at least make me request someone blugeon me to death with a blunt instrument to stop the torture.

Sharp cheddar cheese with apple pie.

Cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. Apparently this is considered odd/grotesque/unheard-of outside of New England.

Fluffernutters (peanut butter and fluff sandwiches). Apparently this is unheard-of outside of New England because it's nearly impossible to find Fluff elsewhere.

Thats weird, where I live, fluffernutters are considered the definitive white trash sammich.

And on the actual topic at actual hand actually, my brother used to eat macaroni and cheese inside of a hard taco shell.

Are you kidding? We get it in abundance here in NY as well. Fluffer-nutters are awesome. Try adding Honey to one. And for an ultimate sweetness trip:
-Nutella
-Peanut Butter
-Fluff
-Honey

Your head will explode.

also! the reason cheese goes well with apple pies is because apples and cheese apparently go very well together.

Also the second! I don't eat eggs with ketchup. I cannot, as it just tastes terrible to me personally. However, that idea of macaroni and cheese in a taco shell sounds rather good for a change of pace.

My parents foolishly brought home an entire half-gallon tub full of pepperoni left over from the church potato-and-salad-bar luncheon, so I've been trying it out on various things despite not liking pepperoni. The biggest success so far was putting it in a fish-patty sandwich and adding ranch dressing.

It's been two weeks and the sucker's still like half full, though. So if anyone has ideas... yanow, post 'em here I guess.

Then there's the peanut-butter-and-cheese sandwiches I used to make in a desperate attempt to improve the variety in my school lunches. They were OK, but the bologna and jelly sandwiches didn't turn out so well. *badumTISS*

Pure capsaicin is (somewhat) toxic. A lethal dose of capsaicin is 13 grams, which is nothing to worry about with even the hottest sauces, but with pure capsaicin... I'm surprised that's legal, considering how stupid people are with hot sauces.

"Hey, I bet I can down four bottles of this!"

On-topic,

Also: pasta, tomatoes, chili powder, kidney beans, tuna fish and lettuce.

Sounds fantastic.

As far as I've heard, pure capascin has to be handled in hazmat gear because it irritates the hell out of your sinuses in the open air. Also, pure capascin doesn't have a chin underneath its beard; it has another fist.

I totally didn't know it was toxic. Now I am surprised they can sell it... more research I must do. I might need to buy it before it becomes illegal!

ULTIMATE PRANK: Put a grain of pure capsaicin in someone's eye drops. Or in their contact lens solution. Or in their hemorrhoid medication.

BTW, here it is. It's sold out here, but at least this proves that it exists. You could google for "Blair's 16 Million Reserve", if you want.

French fries dipped in Pepsi taste good.

I hope you've been keeping it frozen.

The darkness uses a nightlight because it's afraid of capsaicin.

Here's one:

Chicken super noodles with hot chili powder mixed in.

Chips (liberty potato sacks)

Ketchup.

Astonishingly good drunk-food.

***

Breadsticks and cottage cheese.

Well, looking at how expensive it is for 1ml, it would cost you quite a bit to obtain a lethal dose. (I know it says 1oz. there, but that's incorrect; that would make it 28g/cm³, which is over twice the density of rolled lead.)

Still, even if it isn't a lethal dose, there is enough there to severely irritate the skin. Seems like there's a reason they only produced 999 of them.
