At the very beginning of my survival course the two animals we were told not to eat was Rabbit, The food value being so low that even were you to eat 5 Rabbits a day for three weeks you would die of starvation, And Rat, The amount of energy lost in preparing the meat so that all the contaminents were removed outweighs the amount of energy gained after consumption.
I am still laughing at the fellow wearing rubber gloves to eat his chicken wings,
When eating Ribs, at the conclusion there is a finger bowl and a towel, when eating fish and chips, at the conclusion one licks ones fingers but Rubber Gloves ?

The gloves are most likely so he could get them off and use his hands if necessary. Nothing's worse than accidentally rubbing your eye (or something else) while cutting hot peppers.

I agree in terms of the heat. I love spicy food, especially amped up Thai, but there comes a point where it's just not enjoyable.

One time in Hawaii, my buddy and I returned to the house we were staying in after whole day of diving. Exhausted and starving, there was nothing to eat but a box of old pasta and some jarred sauce. To make it at least interesting, we grabbed a small pepper off a bush in the garden. That chopped pepper was so strong, not only were we sweating profusely, but eyes were tearing and our mouths were numb and that was even after rinsing all the sauce off the pasta. If we weren't so hungry, we would have binned the whole pound, but we sat there, crying and eating, laughing at each other until it was gone.

When the house owner came home, he showed us an eye dropper bottle he keeps in the fridge. In that bottle is oil he makes by heating two of those peppers, then tossing everything but the strained oil. Then he only uses a drop or two of the oil at the most for an entire pot.
What, me worry?

Best I've heard was the plastic cling wrap over the toilet, underneath the seat as you leave the cabin, vacation home, etc. First thing every woman does after a long car ride...
