Spice is good pussy

Until you build up a spice tolerance you won't be able to actually taste a ghost pepper or carolina reaper. They have distinct flavors, ghost pepper is quite smoky which I really love
It sounds like you detest spice to the point where building a tolerance wouldn't be worth it
But it's saddening to read people say "a habanero is all I will ever need"
habanero is rather sweet, it's a good pepper but not my favorite for that reason

>>20232406
It's called being normal.
Peppers evolved to be hot as a defense mechanism against being eaten. That's why heat kills germs in the first place.

Heat is 99% bragging rights, nothing more. A little heat is good for balancing sweetness, but that's about it.

I think my major problem with really spicy food is that it is often served scathing hot as well, so you aren't really sure if you're burning your mouth because of the peppers, or because it's way too hot.

cold habanero salsa is really nice though.

nobody has ever had this problem except for you. temperature hot and spicy hot are completely different sensations.

>>20232406
Because it tastes good when used right, which is only fresh peppers and very rarely dried, smoked peppers. The nasty shit like all these chips and chicken breading is absolutely disgusting and artificial garbage. It takes some time to build up a tolerance to heat and start tasting the flavors of individual spices though

>>20232492
I agree with you. If I'm very spiced up even lukewarm food will seem very hot, and often times I will have to wait extra long for my food to cool down. Kind of funny how it works like that.

Those super spicy food challenges with a time limit seem almost impossible if you aren't allowed to let the food cool down enough.

>>20232406
Here are the steps of the process:
>Some spicy stuff tastes good despite being spicy
>Also, the brain is weird and after having such a safe encounter with something spicy it gives you endorphins as a reward
>this latter function is what makes some people like absurdly spicy stuff that's not particularly flavorful
>it's also why brands typically make nasty spicy stuff, because they're chasing addicts, not discerning palates
That's the gist. Get some homemade habanero salsa next time and you'll like it.

i like habanero because its sweet
i should try ghost pepper though

>>20232406
I enjoy spice to an extent, and I enjoy the flavour of different peppers. Unfortunately a lot of the ones I use most (habs/bonnets, kee-noos, and even guajillos) only come in ~1-2 lb flats or bags (0.5-1kg) around here, so I use a lot of dried, smoked, sauced, and pickled peppers.
Thai and Caribbean food doesn't taste right without the appropriate chilies. You can get away with just sweet paprika in a porkolt, but something like chili needs some chili in it.

>>20232930
Have you ever had a surprisingly hot poblano, where that underlying flavour almost feels like a threat? Ghost pepper kind of reminds me of habanero with that slighly bitter poblano hit to it - it balances out really well with onion and garlic, to the point where you can make a pretty decent chicken seasoning out of ghost pepper, garlic and salt.

>>20232406
Oh, good - it's this same dumbass troll-thread, again. I was worried it'd miss a week.

not another "why do people like what I'm too much of a pussy to eat" thread.

>>20232434
peppers evolved to be spicy so mammals would not eat them. birds are immune to the heat and spread the seeds.

there is nothing in peppers that kills germs.

>>20233390
/ck/ would be nothing but fast food without them. Brb, shipping a mixture of dried beans to Texas with a recipe for bean chili.

>>20233339
>But has any OP really been nig even as decided to use even go want to do look more niggest?
...when you are so ESL that even niggers speak better English than you.

>>20232406
I like the heat, I've tried all sorts of pepper up to habanero but took it back down to cayenne because the super spicy peppers just don't have any good flavor.

What are you some kind of picky eater?

>>20232433
I've grown chillies for years and been in spice tolerance contests and a habanero is really the hottest any normal human needs for cooking unless you're literally using a 7-pot to make seven pots of chilli. or like a reaper infused vodka to show up the bros at the bar who say 'give me a shot of something that will get me fucked up'. there's plenty of flavour at lower scoville levels without having to do fucking weight training to tolerate something that clearly doesn't want to be eaten.

>>20232406
You sound gay

i live to eat spicy food. it makes eating worth the trouble
currently have diarrhea from overdoing it on an extract sauce on my taco earlier. there's still half the taco left and i can't wait to get back to it

>>20232406
When you get used to spicy food your brain rewires so that you don’t perceive it as pain, but as an additional taste which makes the food taste really good.
There’s a certain threshold when food becomes too spicy where it starts being perceived as pain again, but the more often you eat spicy food the higher that threshold gets

>>20233880
There are two things I hate about reapers... the heat mellows a lot as they cook (going from "HOOOOOLY FUCK, IT'S BUILDING? WHAT IS THIS SHIT?" to "Where'd it go?"), and it's actually a much more useful flavour than I want in meme peppers I want to use to hurt people. They actually make good chili and hot sauce. I want them to just be the organic embodiment of pain.

>>20232434
What’s you point? Alcohol and chocolate are technically poisonous but we humans enjoy them, you’re just appealing to the naturalistic fallacy here.
You get an endorphin rush from the chilli burn though. It elevates your culinary enjoyment as a result.

I love spicy food. I also love rubbing sand in my eyes for the thrill
I'm normal you know

Culinary masochism. They're the cenobites of the food world.

>>20232406
Spice is a negative quality in any food, it literally means the capsaicin is killing cells and damaging nerve endings in your body. Too much spice can kill you. Anyone that willingly wants their food poisoned with that garbage is retarded. Might as well buy a razor and slice up your tongue as part of the "dish", idiots.

>>20232406
Because different people like different tastes and experiences.... If this confuses you I urge seeking some help, you probably have other cognitive problems.

>>20233880
For myself anyways, it's not that I set out to build a very high heat tolerance, it's just a thing that's happened over the years. The appeal of scorpion and ghost peppers etc is that I find even raw habeneros and scotch bonnets while hot aren't that blazing heat that knocks your socks off, and not always but sometimes that's just what I'm looking for. They very rarely sell them in the stores here so I mostly grow my own making them kind of yearly treat.

>>20233397
The funny thing is that humans like the heat and Portuguese traders ended up spreading chili peppers much farther than birds could ever do.

I sometimes add hot sauce or peppers to foods if I know I'm going to eat them cold.
Saves me the trouble of reheating the items.

>>20234732
>it literally means the capsaicin is killing cells and damaging nerve endings in your body.

>>20232433
Yeah building tolerance is the key. Salsa is a good way to do this, start with a mild Pico or something and then gradually ramp up.

>>20234715
I've never eaten something with hot peppers in it and thought that it was more enjoyable than if the peppers just had the flavor and not the heat

>>20235367
You can probably get your hands on some mild/sweet varieties of habanero and jalapeno... I'll see if I can find what they're called... Tam Jalapeno, Orange/Red Suave Habanero and Habanada.

only homosexuals like peppers, they use it as lube

>>20232433

You already do that if you add salt to your food.

>>20238152
A chemical compound that kills bacteria, made of reactive toxins, one of which literally catches fire when exposed to air, and the other was used to incapacitate people in WW2. Why would anyone willfully ingest this?

>>20238173
Because it's enjoyable if you're not a complete pansy. Don't worry about trying to understand it, you never will.

>>20238203
I bet you drink water too. Literally flammable gasses compressed into a liquid that is more dense that its solid. Do you have no self-preservation instinct?

No I don't. Get this, I even breathe fucking oxygen that's how hardcore I am. Live life on the EDGE

With nitrogen no doubt. Literally trying to run on NOS. Howsabout you settle down there, Paul Walker? Maybe ingest fewer flammable chemicals?

i think it is the same as with people who like bitter flavors, which is the taste receptor for poison. it is meant to be unpleasant to avoid poisoning, yet these retards can't stop downing liters and liters of the most disgusting bitter drinks. it's probably a genetic defect.

>>20238305
Well... they're not dead, and they're more likely to be within a healthy weight range, and not diabetic. I bet they drink dihydrogen monoxide too. Sick fucks.

>>20232433
Habanero has a really pleasant fruity flavor under the spice. I like that as it balances the heat in terms of flavor

>>20233339
Yes

>>20238417
Morton is a scam, that takes whole salt from the ground, takes out all the minerals for use in industry, then sells you the waste product as 'salt'.

>>20239319
>They've removed the things that aren't salt
>Why are you selling me a waste product?

peppers are gay

they have vitamin c and capsaicin is good for you
and i like how it tastes sheesh

because you have never eaten anything other than chicken nuggets, fries, and that one sandwich you just had. it probably had mayo on it
