        Maybe one day I’ll make my cherry juice with menthol and capsaicin.

        You mean cherry juice mixed some mint and chili? Are you used to put thing in your cherry juice? Idt I have even taste cherry juice.

      As someone who loves hot sauce and smokes menthols, I’m dubious. Maybe my hot sauce is too hot, but it will completely negate the menthol. I haven’t tried it with Altoids or anything, but I don’t know…

    We mammals, and only we mammals, have nerve receptors capsaicin triggers. Birds don’t have such receptors. They happily chow peppers and poop the whole seeds all over.

    Meanwhile, we mammals, who are supposed to hate the heat because we grind the seeds to death, have happily bred hotter and hotter peppers and spread them all over the planet.

    I know of no such evolutionary win-win as peppers have pulled off. Genius.

    Reminds me of the Exploratorium in San Francisco. They have an exhibition that has a long rail with metal coil wrapped around it. On one side, the coils are warm to the touch. On the other side, they’re cold to the touch. In the middle of the rail, the coils alternate hot-cold-hot-cold, and when I first touched it, my reflexes yanked my hand away because the nerves interpreted it as “so hot the ‘burned nerves’ feel cold”. Took a few attempts to be able to hold my hands there, and the sensation was very confusing. Would recommend+

    I’m love to experience with different heat sensation when cooking. Every pepper is warming slightly differently and you can change the whole tasting experience by change the “heat source” of a dish. Recently, I’ve tasted Sichuan pepper and it what actually cold! And a cold very different from mint. Although round-leave mint and pepper mint (here another plant called pepper that’s cold!) have different sensation as well. I should try experiment with cold as well (*_*)

      Spearmint would be good too if you’re going for a slightly sweeter, less intense flavor than peppermint!

    This is not new and it does work to some extent. Back in highschool my buddies and I used to cheat at hot wings challenges by chewing a few cough drops first.

    • PrimeMinisterKeyes@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      In a very traditional Afghan restaurant I used to frequent, if you ordered something really spicy, they’d bring you these small mint drops afterwards to chew on, no extra charge. Worked very well for me.
