Brutal. Mercilless.  If you are used to the stuff at the sushi bar at the local Chinese buffet, the kind that has a nice flavor that you can use liberally but will only occasionally really light you up, this is nothing like that. This stuff will make your head explode.  Cut a lamp cord and jam one wire up each nostril as far as you can, and then plug it in to the wall, to get some idea of what this stuff will do to you. You can actually feel your brain cells start sizzling while your vision goes dim as what feels like a lightning bolt travels up your nose and bounces around inside your skull for 3-5 seconds.  Go a step further and you'll get that plus fumes in your throat and lungs that will stop you from breathing and make you cough, but that only circulates the fumes around even more making it worse.  You're in for some serious punishment if you don't take it easy with this stuff. A dollop the size of a pea will blow your head clean off.  3 stars because it's so brutal, I can't get enough of the flavor I like, before my head explodes.

I love *HOT* food.  I eat stuff that people think is crazy.  I've grown accustomed to it my whole life, and it doesn't bother me. I love horseradish.  But this stuff has the kung fu grip, and will hurt you like an angry yakuza you forgot to pay, so watch out.  I will try to finish it off, but next time I'm going for something a bit tamer.
