My mom made chili so hot.....
How hot was it?
Just stirring the pot would make you sweat. I kid you not. Yes, really! I am not exaggerating! It was swimming in red peppers. And no beans in there to weaken it! It would grow hair on your chest then burn it right back off from the inside. It did not burn your mouth at all. From the tonsils on through were burning baby burning.
When I was a kid and in my 20s I ate it like tomato soup. By my 30s I had to have some Maalox. By my 40s I swigged Maalox after every few bites. She had quit making it by my 50s.
It did win the blue ribbon and gold medal at the Oklahoma State Fair as best Chili. The judges said they wanted a chili with some bite. Hers had the bite of an alligator.
