Insanity burger

[Glaucus]

Ever watched man vs food and thought I really want to try that. So I did some cooking.

Vital stats each burger
3.5 scotch bonnets per burger
1/4 bottle daves insanity sauce
1/16 bottle cholua hot suace
1/2 bottle jalapeños
250g beef



7 scotch bonnets, 1/4 bottle daves insanity sauce


The red devil connection


Decided to combine this with the juicy Lucy, devil paste is in the meat.


Flipped, looking good. Chocking at this point, eyes streaming. Had to open the windows.


Whole bottle of jalapenos


Another 1/4 bottle of insanity sauce and 1/8 bottle of the other one.


Assembled with a bit of mayo


Pain is really kicking in now, eyes are well and truly uses less, mucus, snot, you get the idea.


I'm defeated, I reckon less than 1/4 left

I love spice.... but that much of those things kinda scares me! We've always got hot sauce like Dave's, but thats a lot to be using!

(rather tempted to try this)

I was a little terrified.
But that's one reason I wanted to try it. See these challenges and I had no idea what they are like.

That sort of thing just doesn't appeal to me at all. Eating good food is supposed to be a pleasant experience... Isn't it?? :-\

So is playing games/sport. But people push way beyound the fun limit.

Was interested to see what it was like and how I would react. Certainly not a pleasure eat.

Never heard of competitive eating?

I loved the one where he ate 2.5 huge burgers, a single one would have probably killed me and that would have just been the patty. The buns contained a whole pack of butter

No, actually

Not really sure where you're coming from on the sports thing really Glaucus, unless you mean boxing/fighting for sport... in which case I agree entirely!

To each their own eh?

I can see what he means I think ~ he means more like gentle running for fun / vomiting and being in intense physical pain when preparing for a much more physically demanding event like a marathon.

It's pushing the limits to see what your body is capable of. I understand to a degree, but having had something hot enough to make my entire face weep I already know how far is too far!

I even remember what it was. About ten years ago Pizza Express did a pizza in their restaurant that had crayfish tails on it - that's the only other thing I can remember about it other than it was hot. I'm sure they used pure chilli sauce of some description on the base instead of tomato, and it had a variety of chillis on it as well. I got through it, but it was a battle. No wonder they stopped doing it, whatever it was.

I understand it, but I do think it's a little OTT - but good on you for trying it, I certainly wouldn't!

It's like competing against yourself at the gym or any other sport. I for example push myself so hard that I end up bleeding, in pain, almost to the point where it could be described as sadomasochism, however at the same time the dopamine/endorphin/seratonin release you get is beyond comparison - hence why you do it again and again. This is another reason why I had to stop skydiving, I kept pushing the limits of what was safe just to get a "buzz"...

The thrill of eating that food and the rush afterwards must have been rewarding, but the pain you have to go through first is part of the test.
