Why do you guys hate on cayenne pepper so much? Is it just because of YouTube or do you actually hate it?

It's not my favorite spice, but it can be good on red meat.

Also post your favorite spices. Mine are cumin, paprika and cilantro.

Nobody hates it, it's a meme from chef john of foodwishes that he adds it to every dish. He also talks like a fucking fae for the last 4 years.

I use cayenne more and more lately. It works in a surprisingly large number of dishes. Great way to add heat, and I'm always looking for heat in my food.

My exposure has been tobasco and dried cayenne powder. I just think they both taste shitty. maybe ive only had bad powder, but all tobasco tastes shitty to me. if it was 10x hotter, I'd bear the taste for the heat, but as is I just dont see the point, there's hotter or milder peppers that taste better

It’s not hot enough, and there are better tasting peppers. I don’t hate it but it really doesn’t serve a purpose outside curries, rubs, and chili powder.

i dont have anything against cayenne, it's an easy source to add heat to a dish.
I don't prefer cayenne, though, because it's flavor is too earthy.

This. Tabasco adds a reasonable amount of heat, but the flavor sucks. Cayenne just tastes a little bitter, no heat to it at all. They are both pleb-tier. There are much better spices out there.

>> No.10455027

>>10455005
Just because something's popular, it doesn't make it pleb. Tabasco is great in its uses. Say you need to add an acidity to your tuna salad, well tabasco is spicy vinegar so it works. And although I like dried and powdered anchos or hatch chilis, cayenne is pretty good at just adding a bit of bite to the heat. Of course, you use those powders while cooking, not seasoning at the table.

are you both on crack? the entire point of cayenne pepper is that the flavour is so mild you can add heat to almost anything

Perhaps the shitty McCormick stuff you buy at Wal-Mart, sure. But any half decent cayenne has a fair amount of heat to it.

anytime I try to cook with ancho chili or cayenne powder on the stovetop, the smoke is downright toxic, sometimes even at low temperatures

it's good on lots of shit, tragically though people tend to use so much of it when they do use it, it obliterates all other flavors.

I've never disliked cayenne, but I don't really get why the tube fag is so crazy about it; it's just chili powder and paprika.

Favorite spices are cumin, yellow curry (yeah it's a mix, but I use it a lot) and cinnamon. Lately I've been using nutmeg a lot more, although I have a feeling it's more smell than taste.

I just use whatever pepper is available and test for heat accordingly.
If the dish doesn't call for Thai chili or habanero then you can most likely bullshit your way through it with anything.
