I am a heat seeker myself. Make my own hot sauce and errrthang. I usually just use habanero and chili peppers as the heat and add pineapple or mango to the ferment along with onion, garlic, shallot, etc. Occasionally I will use reaper when making a more nuclear batch, but the habanero is the tastiest pepper IMO.

I usually ferment at least 3 weeks before blending. My friends and neighbors always take at least 2 bottles each, so I'm perpetually in some stage of the ferment, haha. We go through this stuff.....

Habs are one of my favorites too. I put fresh raw hab slices on just about everything.

I'm also really enjoying various Thai peppers and some other Asian peps that are similar. I have some growing in my hydroponic system right now. Cayenne peps too. Great heat level and flavor.

Do American curry houses make properly hot curries? I love a British speciality called a phall, which is far too hot for most people.

I’m not sure what you refer to as a curry house. Thai? Indian?

I’m not a big Indian or Persian curry fan but I love other curries. My wife and I tend to go to the same places repeatedly, so they know us and know what we like. At first though, and any time we go to a new place, it can be quite a chore to convince them that we want it Thai hot (for example). They almost always question if we know what we’re asking. Even though we tell them we know, sometimes we still get disappointed by how mild it comes out. Hard to believe anyone would find it hot.

We go to a Korean BBQ where you cook your own meats and veggies quite often and bring our own hot sauce (stuff I make) because their hottest sauce is sriracha (yawn).

Bottom line is that yes, places make proper hot curries and other dishes but you generally have to convince them that you REALLY want it hot as hades.

Over here, it's the standard term for an "Indian" restaurant, although a lot of them are actually Bangladeshi.

I grow a lot of habeneros. My favorites are the reds. The orange habs just don’t carry as much flavor or heat. They must be really productive though because the oranges are the only habs you see in the stores it seems. I haven’t had much luck with Scorps, Reapers, or Ghost. But I swear red Habs are right up there in heat level.

I generally make enough hot sauces and salsas to give some away and keep me in hot shit for the year.

It’s weird. Indian and Persian curries tend to give me indigestion. Not sure what it is about it. It’s probably one of the few regions of the world that I haven’t learned to cook so I really don’t know enough about what’s in it to know why. Though it’s funny because I made butter chicken just last night.

I lean more toward Thai for curry. I can go pretty extreme on heat level and still be able to sleep at night. I also find it has a cleaner and lighter taste to it. Indian tends to be heavier.

Might be ghee? My sister is allergic to it and she gets similar reactions.

This is a great statement from the owner of that restaurant.

"Canadian friends of the Hawaiian, this goes out to you. Look deep down inside yourselves and think about who you truly are and if that is how you want to represent yourself in a culinary way," he said.

"If it is, I think perhaps you need to look at your life choices."
