So Busy continued

My roommates attempted the 11 challenge the other day, I was not in attendance because I've been so busy.  For those of you who don't know, the 11 challenge is this food challenge at this buffalo wing joint here in SLC called "The Wing Coop".  Now I've never been to Buffalo, New York, but the Wing Coop's wings are the best damn wings I've ever tried haha.  They have a whole spectrum of sauces to choose from, traditional sauces, sweet sauces, spicy sauces.  My favorite being the "intermediate" sauce and "loco lime" sauce.  Mmmm.

Anyways, at the top of the spectrum are their spiciest sauces.  The very spiciest being the "11 sauce".  Its pretty much a concentrated habanero sauce, similar to Dave's insanity sauce if you have ever tried that but a few heads higher in the spicy scale.

For the 11 challenge you have to eat 11 '11 sauced' wings in 11 minutes, and doing so you get a t-shirt and your picture on the wall.

Its one thing to try a spoonful or toothpick of a spicy sauce, but a whole different thing to eat 11 wings drenched in the sauce.  I tried the challenge about a year ago and found myself on the brink of passing out.  I got 5 wings in and then my body started rejecting anything I put down.  The spiciness is not just a mental thing... its physical and my body had had enough.  I have a couple friends who have managed to pull it off though.

So anyways, the wing coop manager decided to up the anty with the 11 sauce, and now makes it with ghost peppers instead of habaneros.  Ghost peppers rank around 850,000 scovilles (Tabasco sauce is 2000 scovilles) and it is the 3rd hottest pepper in the world behind the Naga Viper and the Dorset Naga.  About 100-200 people have completed the old 11 sauce challenge... but as to date no one has completed it with the new ghost pepper sauce.

My roommates got 5 wings in, and have been lying around in discomfort for the past two days.  Needless to say, I think they've lost their aspiration to keep eating spicy foods.  I made a pork curry last night with rice, and put a small small small small amount of the 11 sauce in it (probably like 1/4 of a teaspoon?).  The curry is hot! but has still retained its flavor.  Its pretty good actually,  I don't know if I'll ever try the 11 challenge again though, the human body isn't meant to eat that amount of something that spicy.
