You might want to try making some using what they call ghost peppers. I read where they are EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY HOT!!! That may be more up his alley.
Ouch! Fortunately the heartburn isn't that bad for me. It seems to come either when I've been under a lot of stress or when I've been eating a lot of acid based things. The wings we had Saturday and Sunday didn't bother me at all. The peppers didn't either.
I don't know what my father does or how he stands it; but he LOVES the really hot and spicy stuff. I know he takes a medication for it. One of his friends grows some super hot peppers to share with him. I just finally tried the sweet and spicy pickled pepper mix I made over the summer. To me they are perfect; they give my sandwiches a little kick. I sent Dad 2 jars and now I'm betting they are too mild for him.Maybe next year I'll grow some hotter ones for him; just because they are fun to grow!

Oh I'll look those up! It's nice to be able to send him new things he will enjoy!
yes, i like spicy foods!
but i rarely eat spicy foods these days; just usually don't make spicy things.
i like my chili spicy -- i can always add a dollop or two of plain yogurt to it, to tone it down a bit if it's too spicy. i love buffalo chicken strips too! also, i found a wonderful homemade croutons recipe that has cayenne powder as one of the ingredients -- extremely spicy if you just munch on a crouton or two to taste them, but just the right amount of spicy when they're used with a salad.

In my chilli, I add a dallop of mayo. Cools it down a bit. And it adds a nice bit of tang.
Oh god just reading this made me so hungry 
Sorry!

I've heard that too. Also a mouthful of sugar is supposed to stop it burning.
I guess that may be true foe some people, but I have found that the bread never works for me, just makes me feel that much more stuffed. It's milk for me, vitamin D, particularly.

The worst of the cold snap is over, but oh brother, my apartment was cold! The furnace and ducts were not designed well. At 20 degrees or less, my furnace runs 24/7 left at 68.Raise your hand if your COLD today!I'm in fleece pajama pants and wool socks and I'm still chilly and thinking of hot tea! I planned to make chili today; but i have chicken that needs to get used so that'll have to wait till tomorrow.
Do you like spicy foods?
I'm debating making a very small pan of buffalo chicken "lasagna." I'm thinking of making it more baked ziti style than lasagna. I'm the only one who will eat it; but it sounds so good right now! I think I have everything on hand and I can use my smallest casserole dish to make just enough for me.
I go through phases where I'm craving something spicy. We ordered "medium" wings this weekend when we had some people over. They were a bit of a disappointment. They restaurant has great food; beyond pizza and wings. But they left hardly any sauce in with the wings. They were nice and crispy; but lacking flavor. I'm still disappointed. Those are a treat and pretty expensive! I wanted them to be good!
To answer your question? I just made a giant amount of spicy chili. I love spicy food!!!
I'm sitting in fleece Jammie's, with a drink. My bed has 3 suffocatingly heavy blankets that my cat snuggles under just to stay warm. I'm watching tv, trying not to think about my uninsulated bedroom, which is probably about 62° right now with the furnace set at 68. That's the price I chose to pay to live in this pre civil war building with a river view!

1. Dairy (sour cream, milk, cheese, ice cream) - The fat helps dissolve the capsaicin.
2. Oil or oily foods - If you can stand it, swish oil around in your mouth and spit it out to clear the burn. A tastier option? Eat a spoonful of peanut butter or honey.
3. Acidic food - Acidic foods, like lemons, limes, and tomatoes, help to neutralize some of the activity of alkaline capsacinoids.
4. Bulky food, like chips, rice or bread - Starchy foods act like sponges, soaking up excess capsaicin. These foods won't cool the burn, but they'll keep it from getting worse over time
5. Take a teaspoon of sugar. The Scoville scale, used to measure the heat of a pepper, was based on how much sugar water it takes to dilute a pepper to where it doesn't burn. This not only absorbs the heat, it gives you a different, strong taste to concentrate on. A bit of mind-trickery and science combined!
The burning sensation will deplete in time.
Drinking water, beer, coffee, soda and/or iced-tea is the worst thing you can do because the oil from the pepper/chili seed will 'float' on the water based liquid and spread throughout your mouth.

A hot drunk! Do you mean something like Antonio Banderas after too much tequila?
Yes, I can see how that would be lethal.
(Sorry, I know that was probably a slip of the thumb, but it really made me laugh.)
I used to when I was young, it caught up with me, now I have ulcers so I have to be careful. I loved atomic bloody Mary's!
Thank you Fyllis, for the info. I wasn't aware of a few of these remedies. Appreciate the help!
I love spicy food!
