Sometimes I like mixing wasabi with just a bit of soy sauce so it's a thick paste, coat both sides of a California roll thickly and chowing down. It's intense but fades quickly.

Blair's makes a sauce called 'Blair's 16 million reserve' 16 million scoville units. That's death in a bottle but I like their chips.

I love horseradish sauces, very much like Wasabi (or actually in the US, wasabi is really horseradish)

Heat for the sake of heat doesn’t interest me. I’ve tried a chili made with Carolina Reaper, but it was added in a very small amount. You could taste the fruitiness before the heat slowly built up and kicked you in the throat. I could appreciate that the reaper has a flavor beyond heat, but it’s not worth the pain. I mostly stop at Serrano for heat and flavor, but I’m a fan of sweat chili sauces too and I have had one that cleared my sinuses for a month.

Fire breathing man | HOOOO...THAT'S HOT | image tagged in fire breathing man | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Like you, I eat jalapenos regularly and that's a good base level spice to add to just about anything. Sometimes i'll venture a little further and get Serrano peppers, and Habeneros are good on occasion but in small quantities. Also pickled habeneros with onions are a lighter and less punchy way to get some really good flavor into street style tacos. Hottest thing I've ever had was a BBQ sauce of all things, made with carolina reapers. I went to a BBQ festival where you can go around and sample 2oz cups of all the different competitors, and I come across this guy after only hitting 2 or 3 tables so there were 20 more tables or so to visit. He sees me and my brother and straight up pulls the man card and says we're p***ies if we don't throw a spoonful on his sample. So, being the stubborn dumbass that I can be I said sure...biggest mistake I've ever made with heat. I ended up with the hiccups, and snot running out of my sinuses for an hour, my tastebuds were ruined so I couldn't taste any of the other barbeque, and the guy was just over there laughing. Saw him again at another show and he pulled the same crap, so I told him I'd rather not ruin my afternoon with his crappy hot sauce again...he had the nerve to get offended.

I tried a sample of ghost pepper jerky at a home show. The guy was waiting for me to react, but I just made a face and said I don’t care for that one. He just shrugged.

My sister brought me some jerky back from Chicago once, it was in sort of a "wet" sauce of sorts and it was made with ghost peppers. It was hot, but not so bad that you couldn't taste it. Actually very delicious.

Hot peppers. Like them? If not you probably never tried eating hotter ones and took that one step too far.

I like heat and eat jalapeños almost everyday, but I have had too hot eat food before. Not as a challenge, but I made the mistake of asking a Chinese cook to make me food the way he likes it. Turns out he was from the Sichuan province. Best tasting chicken I couldn’t eat. My mouth was on fire for hours.

That's about as hot as I like to get. I have definitely got too much heat a few times.
When I was younger I worked at a restaurant. I was working w/ some roasted red
pepper paste & got it on my hands. I forgot about it & ended up it getting on my face
& eyes. Not a good time.

1) YAS.
2) NOOOO. (Although I felt like dying after some spicy jelly samples put me over the edge at a hot pepper shop.)
