After having no success last year I managed to germinate a single ghost pepper seed (from Puckerbutt). Can't remember the exact variety. Have to do it inside as there's no way it would finish ripening in time before winter where I am. Hopefully I can make this a perennial somehow.  You know how some plants just look kind of evil?   Most likely will ferment the peppers and make hot sauce.

Something that I think about from time to time: spiciness propagates through our digestive system all the way to our butthole, and we suffer for it in this way. But imagine if capsaicin was not only expelled through the anus, but the urethra as well. Ghost pepper piss. Nature, at least in this regard, was kind to us.

Back in 2013 I was at a chilli festival, and there was the first Carolina Reaper sauce on the market, it had just come out, and was the new "hottest pepper in the world". Me and a friend braved it, and clearly we put on a stoic performance, because the exhibitors (I guess it must have been puckerbutt?) Offered us a bite of the pepper itself. My God. It lit up parts of my brain I think are probably reserved for "help I am definitely dying", it was a total trip. I had to drink banana milkshake to try and keep it together, and managed to regain sanity after a breather. I was without warning, very abruptly, met with the NEED to eject, via mouth, and swept myself off to a nearby porta loo. I remember looking in the bowl to see if I needed to flush first and just hearing a shotgun go off? I felt it afterwards. Basically my guts had convulsed so hard that I'd vomited the entire contents of my stomach in under a second. There was a pleasant aftertaste of banana, but I otherwise felt absolutely fantastic! And hungry for chilli. Truly, those things are evil, and I absolutely learnt my lesson that day. !Klams fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Sep 7, 2021 |

I had one of those one chip challenge things the other night and was fine eating it but good god within twenty minutes I had like 9/10 abdominal pain and nausea. Turns out it has scorpion peppers in it this year and those always, always gently caress up my guts. I have sauces hotter than my scorpion chili ones that don’t bother me but if I do the scorpion sauces my insides are hosed for at least a day.

I think a lot of time people forget that scoville is based on concentration so they feel like a real badass cooking with a bottle of assblaster xtreme but they just add a couple drops to their pot of food at which point it's no more or less heat than using a more appreciable amount of a milder sauce. Those korean spicey noodles that made the youtube rounds sometime ago were only like 6k on the scoville, which is around a jalapeno or 2-3x your typical accessible hotsauce. The thing though is that was the scoville for the entire dish, so every bite was at that scoville, whereas if you're a hot sauce aficionado you may have some bottles kicking around that are in the tens/hundreds of thousands or even millions, but you're gonna be diluting it so much you'd probably not hit that same level.

The way I like to judge spicy is if it makes the top of my head sweat and tingle. It’s a weird but cool sensation and a legal high

Yeah, then you get stuff advertised as carolina reaper or ghost pepper that's super dilute to the point that it's just like, using a normal amount of jalapeno. It can still be tasty because you get a purer, smokier heat with less of the flavor of the peppers themselves but if you're looking for something extra spicy then lol

I usually stick to fresh jalapenos, thai chile peppers, ichimi, peppercorns, sichuan peppercorns, sesame chili oil, horseradish & ginger as my main go-tos for my home cooking. I usually stay far far away from any sort of boutique hot sauces and I often find them a combination of disappointing/gross. I will never cook for friends or family because they are not spiceheads.

teen witch posted:Swedish spicy food is a joke which I culturally “get” but like, it’s either not spicy at all or just spicy to be spicy and without flavor. When I went to Sweden for work, the locals warned us against trying curry, saying that it would be "too sweet for Americans". And holy poo poo they were right. We tried a decent-looking Indian lunch buffet, staffed by actual desis, and everything was quite literally sweet, as in there was sugar in the daal. But then we connected with the local Pakistani community and got directed to Chili Masala in Solna, which is in a weird building but was amazing, and you could get proper Indian hot stuff there.

Bragging about your level of capsaicin tolerance is dumb, toxic masculinity for the obese. Let me regale you with my war story of how tough and brave I was when I faced the hot pepper.

Wamdoodle posted:what is the thread consensus on Lao Fan Ma Chili Crisp Everyone who tries it loves it. The MSG really makes it pop! You gotta be careful though and check out the nutrition label, it's like a billion calories per tablespoon. My wife and I are convinced you could make a lot of money stocking it in regular white folk super markets and we tried to make our own but it was hard. I like it better than sriracha and think it could be just as popular.

I grew some Armageddons in the garden this year. Looks like I’ll have at least a twenty pepper harvest. Any good ideas for what to do with em? I’m thinking hot sauce but not sure what else.

i always keep Franks (pasta, pizza, etc) Cholula (same as Frank's + sandwiches) Chipotle Tabasco (taquitos or other frozen Mexican food like Tina's burritos) Valentina black label (most other kind of Mexican food, eggs) Marie Sharp's Habanero (sandwiches, anything else that needs more heat than Frank's or Cholula) And above that I buy any new sauces I find in the grocery store, which is pretty frequently these days, but I haven't added any of them to the above list in ages

When I quit smoking I had to quit spicy because my taste buds returned or something. Even Tapatio is too hot for me now and its a real shame.
