What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else? (self.asklemmy)

I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?

Toast, mayo, fried egg, salt. Then a liberal amount of Dave’s ghost pepper sauce on top, like a teaspoon.

I’m the only person I know of who will eat this specific hot sauce. Other hot sauce lovers will not touch it, because it tastes like capsaicin extract and poison. But I’m weirdly addicted to it. I own better tasting sauces but they don’t scratch the itch the right way.

I love really spicy food but I just don't like ghost peppers. Is it just spicier than your other sauces?

It’s spicier than most, yes. They launched the sauce back when ghost was still the hottest pepper in the world, and went overboard using extract.

I love the taste of ghost pepper though. It’s a pleasant taste with a linear burn curve that hits straight on. Not like reaper, which lures you into having too much and then rapes you.

My overall favourite pepper is chocolate habanero. Its just the tastiest of them all.

Habaneros are delicious. I actually grew habanadas this year, which are heatless habaneros, so I could get more people to try them. It's the weirdest thing biting into a pepper and tasting spicy but no heat ever actually comes. My favourite pepper is the trinidad scorpion though. It just tastes so good, but it's kind of stupid hot.
