Food that hurts

What do you like to eat that's a bit painful? I like extra strong mints, chilis, stinging mouthwash, that sort of thing. Why are ridiculously spicy curries so good?

Huk-L, you took the shards right out of my mouth.

Wrong! The correct 1st answer was, in fact, nails.

OMG - this is one of my exact food aesthetics.

lemonheads candy
bitter melon pork
dark chocolate
salt bagels

Worcestershire Sauce.

It's not spicey or anything, but it contains minute amounts of fish that set off a mild allergic reaction in me. It's kind of buzzy.

We're just gearing up for global warming. Caustic curry spices will protect us from the tropical diseases to come.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:02 (twenty years ago)

citrus fruits always interfere with the glands at the back of my mouth and make them go fizzy (in a pleasurable way). i assume this happens to other people too, although i've never asked.

raw chillies and raw garlic kick ass. if it wasn't for the honking side-effects of a raw-garlic diet, i'd be on it.

Ginger's a bit hurty too. It almost hurts thinking about it.

salt and vinegar chips. Or, even worse/better, lime and black pepper chips.

oh shit

HORSERADISH

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:14 (twenty years ago)

salt and vinegar chips

those are SO nasty, but i always have to try some if a friend buys them. i keep eating them, thinking i'll grow accustomed to the taste and start to enjoy it, but it never happens :(

― killy (baby lenin pin), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:14 (twenty years ago)

WASABI!!!!!

Does anyone else eat orange rinds and scrape the citric acid off with your teeth to make your lips tingly and numb?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:18 (twenty years ago)

Some of you people have crazy oversensitive tastebuds.

But oh yeah, wasabi, oh YEAH!!!

I used to eat lemon slices for some reason. It seems like a teenager thing to do.

― beanz (beanz), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:20 (twenty years ago)

Sandwiches made on a baguette or roll that has a hard, thick crust hurt the roof of my mouth.

― o. nate (onate), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:22 (twenty years ago)

ohgod, last time I ate baguette it totally hurt my mouth. (haha, and I also accidently cut my arm on it even when breaking it in half!)

All candies, when you eat a lot at once and they begin to flay the skin inside your mouth. Which we, of course, as adults never do, no.

jaymc, you are maybe mental with the orange thing.

You lost a fight with bread?

― beanz (beanz), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:28 (twenty years ago)

haha! I didn't even know it was a fight, man! It made the first move. And then I kicked its ass with my eating power.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:34 (twenty years ago)

i don't eat lemon slices, but often i'll poke a hole in a whole lemon and squeeze the juice into my mouth (your raunchy blooze lyric goes here, ya pervs).

and yes, salt & vinegar chips are ace.

― jbr, Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:39 (twenty years ago)

My officemate has a big tub of Wendy's iced tea once a day, and afterwards sucks the shit out of the lemons. The sounds are pretty nasty.

― killy (baby lenin pin), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:41 (twenty years ago)

i ate two pizzas for dinner recently, that was painful for a while.

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:44 (twenty years ago)

My first thought was Cap'n Crunch. That shit really fucks up the roof of yr mouth. It kicks the roof of your mouth's ass.

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:47 (twenty years ago)

Was just going to answer with Cap'n Crunch as well.

― Stan Fields (Stan Fields), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:48 (twenty years ago)

That shit is like, "Hey, roof of your mouth? My name is Cap'n Crunch, and I AM GOING TO HOUSE YOU."

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:51 (twenty years ago)

PAIN! I remember Honeycomb doing that too. And c3p0s and ProStars (is that right? the hockey/gretzky cereal?) All made of the same stuff as Cap'n Crunch though, in dif shapes.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:52 (twenty years ago)

SUPER HOT PIZZA
homemade, especially - right out of the oven. like, you know you always burn the roof of your mouth, and you think "no, this time i'm going to let it cool down a little before I bite in", and then you think fuck it, it's cool enough and chomp on a slice and then FUCK, you've just burned the roof of your mouth. AGAIN.

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:53 (twenty years ago)

Last week I was similarly injured by a bowl of Froot Loops.
I also have bad memories of swallowing sharp/unchewed chips and Doritos, but of course alot of foods can be painful if you're not going to bother chewing them at all.

― Stan Fields (Stan Fields), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

Jay, I enjoy the white rind part of orange peels. nicely bitter and citric oily.

And Pete - horseradish is the BEST. Especially on roast beef sandwiches.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:58 (twenty years ago)

this doesn't exactly hurt my MOUTH, but my coworker will bring in big batches of homemade cookies that look delicious and receive glowing praise from other coworkers. however, all i can taste in ANYTHING she bakes is CIGARETTES. she chain-smokes, and i'm sure her entire house reeks of smoke. i've never heard anyone else complain about this, though, and instead i only hear the aforementioned "glowing praise." should i feel guilty for never eating her treats? i think not. i don't want cancer.

a couple months ago i made this huge roast beef sandwich with horseradish on toasted rye, and the bread was so crusty and the sandwich so tall, it cut my mouth to SHREDS. and then the horseradish stung like a motherfucker.

it was the best sandwich ive ever had.

I can eat a whole package of those Sour Patch Kids straws in one sitting. And then I have to down a large glass of water to wash down all that sour powder. I'm addicted to Flamin' Hot Cheetos, which, in a shocking "truth in advertising" move, is actually pretty darn hot. But if you eat a lot of them, you get accustomed to the heat and it becomes simply a delicious chip snack. I'm a big fan of salsa and am always disappointed when I'm served salsa with no bite to it. My ideal salsa is something that has a very flavorful sauce base and a fair amount of heat. I think I'm a twenty-seed person. I love intensely minty flavors, but this is because I always have a complex about the way my breath smells. I love to have it smelling minty fresh, so I constantly swig mouthwash, chew minty gum, and suck on mint candies. My favorite chocolate is in fact the minty Andes chocolate. Aaaaaand that's going to be it.

Just peeling and seeding 3 pounds of roasted Anaheim chilies. I'd done it a dozen times before with no effect, and things were going along fine until I was nearly done, and my left hand suddenly started burning like hell. The chilies went into the freezer for a batch of pork chili verde that I'm making next weekend -- I didn't taste them first to see if it was one of them or all of them.

Italmania in Glasgow's spicy chicken pasta made my tastebuds stop working for about three hours one night. I don't think it's normally like that, I think they just saw me bowling in drunk and spotted an opportunity for a laugh.

I made the pork chili verde today and it was great, but a lot hotter than usual. I think there must have been a couple of mutated serranos in amongst the anaheims, because they've never been this hot before. I thought it was perfect, but my wife only managed a couple of bites.

It's more than that, though. Something happened to her tolerance for spicy food about three months ago, it disappeared over the course of a week. She can't even eat the mildest salsa now. She tried a bit of the green today to be nice to me, but said it was like needles in the tongue. I think she needs to see a doctor about it.

― retarded candle burning at both ends (dyao), Sunday, 16 May 2010 05:08 (fifteen years ago)

the trick is, you need to keep on eating them until all yer bitter sensing taste buds have expended all their bitterness alert neurochemicals, then you have a window of like 15 minutes to stuff your gullet before they recharge and call in the calvary

boiled sweets that cut your tongue/roof of the mouth after you've had a few, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soor_ploom

a very hot curry is the ultimate answer because it goes beyond just pain in the mouth. My nose runs so i have to blow it every minute or so, my eyes water, i grow uncomfortably hot and sweaty but fucking hell, it's worth it.

hmm that reminds me, when I was in sichuan I had some spicy chicken wings off the street. I'm a pretty tolerant guy when it comes to spiciness, but these wings were on some find-your-spirit-animal-through-hallucination level, I was gulping down a mocha frappucinos in between bites, could not see straight, etc.

also, even after washing your hands for 20 minutes, even after waiting several hours, NEVER EVER scratch your crotch after handling spicy peppers

One good trick to use when eating messy spicy foods (we always used this for crawfish) is to crumble and rub saltines all over your hands. Usually after that only a 1 minute wash is necessary before you can handle your junk again.

My answer to this question is the tear drop roll, a sushi roll with wasabi root as the main ingredient. It burns like shit but it completely clears everything out of your head. A real spiritual experience. To avoid a horrible stomach ache, share with a friend or two.
