TBWCYL Day 358 - Hot Spot

I increased my tolerance for hot food yesterday with some experimentation in Tabasco Sauce. Before opening our presents last night, we were sitting around and I went to refill my drink. I opened up the fridge and saw the bottle of Tabasco and without waiting to regret my decision, I poured about 6 spurts of sauce on my tongue and let it settle until I couldn't take it anymore.

My tongue caught fire and I rushed to the glass of ice tea that was waiting for me. It didn't do too much to eradicate the heat but it did help the transition as my tongue settled. I am not one for spicy food so this is one of those things where increasing tolerance meant building one to begin with.

My father gave me a chocolate bar with bacon mixed into it and I was trying to taste it but my tongue wasn't letting me savor the flavor. I still am not sure exactly the taste of it but I have some left so I will find out later.

That is all,

I hope this works for you! I am allergic so I just have horrible heart-attack type feelings if I eat anything peppery.

I have had one of those chocolate bacon bars, I thought it was horrendous. Then again I prefer my bacon meaty and hot, and they were using little tiny crispy shards.

S&C - My tolerance isn't any stronger.

It doesn't surprise me you have had that bacon candy as candy is your specialty.

You know I appreciate spicy food, but not at the expense of limiting the joy that could come from BACON and CHOCOLATE!! That sounds amazing. Bacon + chocolate + dash of Tabasco...hmmm...

I will be letting you try it. I forgot to get that bacon bar out.
