I'm feeling hot hot hot

Yesterday I experienced the hottest meal of my life! No, I didn't just eat it, I experienced it. Some friends invited me over for lunch for a meal called briyani. It consists of rice and pieces of beef cooked in tons of spices. My mouth started to burn as soon as I put the first bite into my mouth. The sensation then went to my lips. Soon after, my nose ran like a faucet, my eyes watered and my face turned red. I've never experienced anything quite like it. The spiciness was almost too much to handle but it was SO good! I keep eating and eating. Later, I could literally feel it moving down my digestive track burning everything along the way. The fire subsided just before dinner, which consisted of...you guessed it...briyani! Thankfully the cafeteria served a much milder version.
