there used to be a Colombian place nearby. they had two hot sauces on the table, one red and one clear (with seeds). we were warned off the clear one. in the course of telling us about the sauce, the owner mentioned that she'd just given the same speech to a group of construction workers earlier in the week, and one of them was like, "no, I'm Mexican, there's no way this is too spicy for me." he poured a bunch on his dish, had a bite, and his entire (shaved) head went red and sweaty and he lost his poo poo. everybody else (also all Mexican, iirc) mocked him without surcease. she told us this story not with national pride but with real puzzlement.

I do not understand it’s Scoville units in the slightest

I moved to Illinois a few years ago and the state of spicy food here is pretty dire. I've seriously heard people comment that black pepper is too spicy for them. I really need to start going to the Mexican market to buy chilies. Bought at the normal chain a couple of times and they've somehow managed to make habaneros mild. Last time I visited India my boss told the people I was meeting with that I really like spicy food, so they spent every meal trying to find the spiciest thing on the menu to order for me. Not really too spicy, but the flavor was always fantastic. The more adventurous ones would take a few bites of it and be wiping sweat from their foreheads. They also were all taking pictures of me when I ate one of the peppers whole. It was maybe a 4/10. I don't however like any sauces/foods made with ghost peppers. They taste incredibly bitter to me for whatever reason and ruin the flavor of everything else. Also jalapenos tend to destroy my insides, and only jalapenos. Hottest thing I ever had was some ghost pepper chili maybe 10 years ago at a bar. It was agonizingly hot and I only made it through with the help of several beers. The waitress told me this was after they had brought down the heat level as it was apparently completely inedible before. I am no longer an idiot and will stop eating something if it's that spicy. Had one of the best spiced dishes ever a few weeks ago in Boston. Not overly spicy or anything, but the mixture was just right to where it added to the flavor instead of detracting from it. How it should be done IMO.

Yeah I don't get the whole "hotter is better" thing. I buy my hot sauces for the flavor. I don't like things too hot because it has me focusing on pain/sweating instead of my food.

I'm really loving that chains are glomping in to mango habanero as a sauce because the local wing places are doing it and it's loving amazing.

Ever since I threw up every day for 7 consecutive years I had to dial back on the spicy food also because I moved to a place that doesn't have any really

Jestery posted:I legit eat my popcorn/Cheetos/dusty chips with chopsticks to avoid this I am an evangelist for this technique. It's borderline a copernican revolution. I also use chopsticks for basically everything in the kitchen. I love spicy food but my gut/b-hole doesn't. I have to take a metamucil if I eat anything higher than Tabasco, really. If I have one of those cheap green curry ramens that I love too much I basically have to have a clear path to the bathroom pretty much 8 hours after the meal is finished (at night even). I also have a pretty strict "no spicy foods 24 hours before a flight/roadtrip" rule.

I’m not usually a fan of sweet and spicy unless it’s mango habanero. Don’t know what it is about it but that’s my jam. Those mango habanero Hawaiian brand chips are fantastic. The last time I ate meat (I’m a pescatarian who cheats occasionally) was a lamb mango curry from a local Indian place. Good flavor but barely any spice, and the mango was just a few big strips way at the bottom. Disappointing.

Whoever recommended Matouks from the last thread, goddamn that sauce is good. The salsa picante is a permanent fixture now.

Mango habanero sauce is even easier to make yourself than the tomato based sauce I mentioned earlier. Garlic also works with mangoes, surprisingly enough. The smoked paprika powder, however, creates an absolute disaster with mangoes. I don't know what goes wrong there, but I sure as hell could not finish that bottle.

I love hot sauce but it makes me feel physically and mentally terrible for a few days after I have any spicy ones  my tolerance is incredibly high and I whip out the Marie Sharp hornet sauce for when I don’t have to function for a bit though

How long does it take scotch bonnets and ghost peppers to ripen once they are grown? I've already harvested a dozen thai dragons but my SBs and Ghosties are just slowly turning darker green every day for a month

There's also something about their heat that feels different to other peppers to me. It's hard to describe but it feels richer/fuller and not as stinging. I think I need to make some Jamaican jerk paste again.

As someone who goes through a bottle of hot sauce every 3 days on average, it makes me happy to see everyone agrees Scotch Bonnet is the best pepper.

I'm a Norwegian who grew up on food that would be accepted in the Midwest, so I'm not huge on hot food - but the Cholula Lime variant is great on everything. They have put a proper amount of lime in it, and it fills out the chili/vinegar taste nicely. Very mild, but eh, that means I can use more.

I really like this stuff: https://hoffandpepper.com/products/hoffs-smoken-ghost-sauce Moderate-Decent heat (if you live that spicy life) and really tasty. People always talk about Cholula, and I guess it does taste good... but I don't really detect any heat in it. I wish they'd make a Cholula extra hot, or something.

!Klams posted:Here in England, we've got this really weird relationship with spice, where at any supermarket, the only fajitas I can buy are either mild or extra mild, but then at the weekend am spoilt for choice with immense vindaloo options. This is very (though decreasingly?) true. I think, though I'm not sure I could back this up, that people tend to be better at handling chili in stuff they're more used to.
