Chinese Buffalo Wings!?
Holy freakin' cow! Just got back from lunch and I went to this chinese place that I get my food from sometimes. I wanted something different so I order #20 - buffalo wings with fried rice and egg roll.
I was expecting the regular buffalo wings, like hooters, or whatever other place serves them. So I see the guy get the regular chicken wings and then he pours...pours this chilli hot sauce all over the chicken wings.
I thought to myself, ok I can handle that chilli sauce no problem! Get back to my desk, eat the chicken - first bite is fine, taste good and the "hotness" isn't too bad. Take another bite and it was all over from there! It was a regular bite, I didn't bite into the seed of the paper (that's later), but apparently the first bite was to draw me in!
So I'm eating, or trying to, trying to eat the rice at the same time as the chicken to sooth the hotness, also the eggroll to try to make it just a little tolerable. Poured soy sauce as usual, that was my last resort aside from drinking half a cup of water with every spoon full! It kept getting hotter and hotter! The rice was even hot because of the sauce! The only thing untouched was the egg roll which I thought would help, but didn't!
Ok now the bad part - so I'm eating, and my eyes are tearing and my nose is dripping and I can barely chew the food, I had to just swallow it straight! Then I bite into a seed of the chilli/pepper! OMG! It was all over...soooo freakin' over! Tears just came gushing out of my eyes, nose dripping every whichway! I couldn't control it!
Coworker comes in asking if I'm still sick and I try to explain to him what just happened with a mouth that is 75% numb!
I barely ate any of the freakin' food! I ate all the wings, but the rice was just wasted because it was drenched in the sauce!
So caution when eating Chinese Buffalo Wings! Don't know what they put in them, but...yeah you know my story.
btw it's still burning until now! 30+ minutes and going.
