As a chili pepper lover myself I absolutely do not get this garbage trope of treating chili pepper consumption as some kind of contest. The idea is to add heat to your food - not prove your pathetic "manliness."
In my opinion, anything above Habanero is just pointless masochism for no good reason at all.
Idk man I agree otherwise, but tolerances rise. And different chilis taste different. Habanero has a nice, sweet taste, and naga yolokia has a bit sharper taste.
So it very much depends.
I don't try to make "hot" food, but wanting a bit of heat in every meal has lead to my tolerances rising and Habanero just not cutting it for proper heat. (I think the heat is good when you ~~almost~~ feel it in your nipples.)
Sorry what?
When the food is so spicy that at first you start sweating a bit on your face and then the heat slowly spreads from your face. So at the point when it's enough to reach your nipples, the spiciness of the dish is just right.
Well I have to hand it to you, there's a kind of mad logic to it!
Oh this goal is something I decided after having experienced it.
Don't know if there's logic to it, but it's what I usually aim for. (Unless I'm busy the next day, because that usually requires an extended session on the porcelain throne the following day.)
What is it when I feel your nipples?
A good night
Wholesome 💯
idk sometimes it's just fun to eat something really hot, especially with friends
my dad and i did the 1 chip thing a few years back and we got a fun time and a funnier video out of it. not much more to it really
I think ghost peppers have fun uses and the Carolina reaper almonds from diamond are actually delicious and not that spicy (guessing they use very little). I agree that the mega potent stuff is better used for spicing up a 3 lb pot of chili.
Wendy's uses a lil tiny bit of ghost pepper in their ghost pepper ranch sauce and it's actually a great flavor with some kick. Absolutely nowhere near as spicy as the actual pepper, of course. I'd put it maybe slightly above jalapeño?
Ghost peppers taste really good. There is a ghost pepper salsa I freaking love.

I agree and so does Aunty Donna:

You clearly never had Beef Rendang. It is a Indonesian/Malay dish, which is a lot like a coconut curry. It is unbelievably spicy purely looking at it and you start to sweat. But it tastes amazing and I firmly believe it wouldn't taste the same without that level of heat. It is an incredibly intense experience and I guess literally not for those weak of heart. But if you ever get the chance I highly suggest you at least taste it is unbelievably tasty.
I can eat a habanero without noticing the spice. Should I just stop trying to enjoy spicy food?
Is that what I said?
Eh. Habanero tastes like ass. I've had spicier peppers with better flavor. And plenty of people, including myself, occasionally enjoy something hotter. I have a decent tolerance for spice, so I can dial things up and still enjoy it.
Most of the ones I've had were pretty crap... but, rarely, it's actually possible to find Habanero that tastes the way Habanero should. They're pretty good.
Next time I find proper ones, I'm planting them.
Well that's true, you can get a lot of varieties of peppers.
Can't believe that comment garnered so many down votes tho. Some habanero lovers in the comments were very upset
You may not get the same traits as the parent plant, that you're looking for, if you grow chillies from seed
True... but I like living on the edge.
