I've eaten this a few times. It's actually great when you have congestion. Clears the sinuses real good. May have also given me an ulcer, but I used to eat a lot of spicy stuff so could have been anything.

That's a myth. Spicy food does not cause ulcers, but it will irritate existing ulcers.

Ah good to know. I've never been able to get a clear answer from my doctor about it. But I do know as I'm creeping to my 40s my guts protest the spicy stuff with sharp pains

Yea, same, ha. I can't go too crazy with spice unless I wanna be pooping hot fire snakes the next day.
