    Much as I love spicy foods/hot sauce, this weapons grade shit is just silly.

    I once signed a waiver to purchase a spicy chicken sandwich and will never do so again.

      I had the same sandwich (Dave’s Hot Chicken reaper sandwich). I assumed it was just a marketing stunt. After one bite I had to go back and get a milkshake so I could sip it between bites to finish the damn sandwich.

        Oh was it made with Dave’s Hot Sauce? I had a customer bring in his own Ultimate Insanity hot sauce to use in a Prairie Fire shot (tequila+hot sauce). Shit looked ROUGH. He let me keep the hot sauce after though and it became one of my partner’s favourites.

      I find it hard to understand how a potentially hazardous to health food item is even allowed.

      What is this obcession with ever increasing level of spice in food, lately?

      Because at some point it all the flavour just goes away, replaced by a hefty dose of pain.

        It can be fun to safely experience sensory extremes. Many people get an endorphin/dopamine rush from it.

        Other than some gut irritation it’s not a significant hazard. Like yeah keep it safely stored from sensitive people and poets also it’s probably not the best road trip snack or whatever. Certainly less dangerous than alcohol, fireworks, cigarettes or texting while driving.

        Spice will give you an approximation of a “runner’s high” without the tedious mucking about of exercise. There is, of course, an upper limit which too many products tip past.

        I realize I’m a special case, but my nose is essentially non-functional—I don’t smell food. While my sense of taste is more sensitive than your average person, I suspect I still miss out on some kinds of flavour. I believe my impairment is why I am drawn towards strong tastes like cheeses or, indeed, extremely spicy food. They’re the “only” flavours that I really experience strongly.

        in the past i thought eating spicy food made me look cool and manly, but then i realised i’m missing out on the flavour of foods and understood i was being silly. so now i mostly stick to mild foods, with the occasional spicy food for varity’s sake but only if i can actually taste the flavour of said food through the spice

        but that’s just me

      My mouth is broken and I love really spicy stuff. Like, still haven’t met someone in person who likes things as spicy as I like them.

      FYI to the Flaming Anus chocolate bar: it’s advertising hype BS. Like most hot sauces yelling out some high scoville number. All that big “2.2 million scoville” on the packaging here is actually just referencing that it has Carolina reaper pepper in the chocolate, and that those peppers can be up to 2.2 million scoville.

      But the peppers are dead last on the ingredient list. Each bar has very little in it. If I ate a Carolina reaper pepper rated over 2 million even I would hate it and it would burn and I’d feel like my insides wanted to die. But the chocolate bar here is just a spicy little snack.

      A guy after my own heart. Do you like vinegar based hot sauces? If not, which sauces do you go for? I’ve struggled for years to find decent sauces and have only found Melinda’s and my own sauces to tolerate.

      • Paradachshund@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Not the guy you responded to, but I also love hot sauce. I usually stock franks, yellowbird’s red jalapeño sauce (forget the name), and cholula or Valentina if I don’t feel like paying for it. I also had this really awesome green hot sauce from El Pato brand, but I haven’t ever seen it again. Hopefully someday!

        Vinegar tends to be too forward. I go for the stuff you’ll find in a Mexican market or “ethnic” aisle of a grocery store. Peppers being an ingredient higher than most others beyond water catch my eye. Melinda’s is alright, though I’ve seen them branch out quite a bit from their more humble beginnings.

        I don’t like vinegary too much (or smoke/fermented flavor etc), I like El Yucateco Red*.

        Though it is a bit expensive for a tiny bottle. So I made a few big bottles trying my own spin* from garden habaneros (orange) and liked how it turned out.

        * I see the key ingredients: distilled white vinegar, citric acid, xantham gum

        Ah, a fellow Melinda’s enjoyer! I love they’re Ghost Pepper sauce in particular (though it’s fairly mild for a Ghost Pepper sauce). My only complaint with Melinda’s, is that they consistently use too much carrot in their sauces. But otherwise they’re really great!

      • VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Chocolate isn’t sweet, it’s bitter. You have to add a lot of sugar to get the sweet chocolate we’re familiar with. The Mayan and Aztec versions of hot chocolate were more like a spicy coffee than the sweet drink we have now.

        I’ll occasionally make up coffee in the morning with chocolate, cinnamon, and a few shakes of cayenne pepper. Coffee shop I went to once did the same thing, called it an Aztec Mocha. Very good.

      Honestly, thst is very subjective. I love tamarind and pepper candy, vanilla ice cream with spicy chips, and honey plus roasted chillies marinade for pork.

      And I say this as someone who is not into spicy food, there are a few combinations out there, where the sweet and spicy mix actually work great for a snack.

      Agree with slight exception: Pineapple, Jalapeno, Pepperoni on pizza. Just the right amount of sweet, spicy, and salty on the savory base. Shit slaps.

      Sweetness increases your tolerance for heat. The Scoville unit basically tells you how much sugar water it takes to mask the spiciness.

    iirc mice don’t have the same response to capsaicin as humans - they can taste it, and don’t particularly like the taste, but it doesn’t cause them pain like it does in humans?

    source
    • ummthatguy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I’m sure birds are immune as well as Steve-O, can’t say for sure of rodents.

      source
      • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        From a tiny amount of reading (and a complete lack of a biology degree…) it’s that the rodent taste buds just react differently to the capsaicin, so it doesn’t hit the sodium channels in the pain receptor ‘stack’ in the same way as it does in humans.

        I think.

      This is interesting. A popular squirrel deterrent for bird feeders is to put spicy stuff on the seed. I’ve been trying that lately and the squirrels have completely left my bird feeder alone. So there must be something rodents don’t like — unless squirrels are just built different?

      By this researcher they do feel the “pain” from it:

      capsaicin as a rodent aversion agent

      source
      • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Am I just missing where they claim that? From the conclusion:

        Altering the palatability of this feed to rodents through the addition of capsaicin may greatly enhance traditional methods of increasing poison bait acceptance on poultry operations

        That they avoid taste has nothing to do with the ‘pain’ experienced as a result of consuming it - in the preceding section they discuss other strategies to increase bait acceptance, including adding rodenticide to preferred bait foods. That rodents do not like the taste isn’t really in question, that they have a pain response to consuming it is.

        One Chip challenge was no big deal to me. 9M Scoville Lil Nitro Gummy was much hotter but I did it without regret. 16M Scoville CaJohns Trouble Bubble bubble gum felt like it was roughly the same heat as the gummy. I completed the challenge blowing a bubble, but soon after started puking lava. There was regret. 😄

      No one does. It isn’t a 2.2 million shu chocolate bar. It just has a very small amount of Carolina reaper pepper as an ingredient in the bar. Most of those hot sauces with goofy names are the same way. “Satan’s lBunghole made with 6,000,000 pepper extract” Yeah. Made with like a drop of extract so the sauce is more like 200,000 scoville.
