I don’t get it. Hot sauce just makes things more delicious
Back when I was in highschool I brought home chili from work which I had added a lot of Cholula to as I liked. I set it on the dining room table sealed in the container while I went to my room to change. In the midst of changing I hear a yell from the other end of the house. It’s my mother screaming “Are you trying to kill me?!?!” Neither of my parents tolerate spicy foods well. It’s still a story I love to tell and to needle my mom with.
Cholula tastes great, but it’s barely even hot.
That’s why I add a lot. And again, she has no tolerance for spicy anything.
It was the inverse in my house, oldest daughter and I are chiliheads, ex was not, though he was ok with mildly spicy stuff, not oversensitive. So daughter and I go out for Thai food because if it’s just us we can get it so spicy. We bring some home and warn the dad don’t eat it, it’s spicy . He gets stoned and forgets, eats it and was literally traumatized; would not touch anything spicy for a couple of years.
And I’m over here taking acid tabs and Da Bomb Beyond Insanity dabs like 🤔
My partner is a supertaster. They can’t even be in the house when I open a jar of jerk seasoning.
Since I can’t cook spicy dishes any more (I split dinners with my partner), hot sauce has become a craving.
Also as you get older and your nervous system degrades things are perceived as being bland. So add spicy because people will frequently choose pain over boredom.
Plus you can enjoy more bitter things and that’s the reason why green vegetables are more enjoyable as one grows older.
Barbeque sauce? ✋
Barbwire sauce! 👈Choppy olives and anchovy pizza was kryptonite to dorm mates in college.
My wife uses Dave’s Insanity Sauce so I don’t think that would work on her.
Then you are the “lesser being”!
Indeed I am!
I prefer mine for parricide reasons.
Oh geez. I have a jar of dried ghost peppers and Carolina reapers.
The ghost taste better, not AS spicy as the reapers. But they burn much longer. Reapers
I always found that i greatly prefer reaper flavor and burn type and that ghost peppers just hurt and don’t have much flavor for me. It’s funny how different our bodies work.
The dozens of us that can actually taste any flavor from these nuclear plants aside… To me the reapers have a more earthy flavor than ghost. Guess I’m not as much a fan of its profile. Same for habaneros. Love their heat, just not so much it’s flavor.
That makes sense since I really enjoy habaneros too lol. I think Serrano are my favorites though. Outside of ghost which ones do you enjoy the flavor of?
Bruh, I forgot to mention Serranos. Love them too.
Lol hell yeah. Nice to see someone else love them. My family are all too tender mouthed to enjoy hot stuff.
Growing up was the other way around. My dad knew I was repulsed by seafood so he’d get a seafood dish then steal from my dish. The field was evened when I learned he couldn’t handle spice
