That nice butthole simulation

I've finally got comfortable at Habanero. I'm going to move up to ghost soon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I'm still working on getting comfortable to Cayenne. I can eat them, but I devinetively can't eat a lot of them.

You can get a sort of “high” from it. The feeling when you are sweating from some demonic hot wings can be mind altering in a fun way.

Also tasty. Ghosts have a bit of sweetness to them. Would pair nice with chocolate. Habeneros and mangos are a pair like peanut butter and jelly. Or Carolina reaper in a block of nice cheese, so good.

I am also a masochist though, so YMMV. I could give the same explanation for why I used to let guys whip me on weekends.

Well, at least for me, it isn't actually something I'm actively pursuing. I like spicey things that have a kick, but you get used to the heat, so you gotta turn up the heat for the same experience. I guess in that aspect, it's kinda like drugs.

That's an interesting way of spelling masochism haha

Pro move: Dehydrate all the peppers and sprinkle on top like God intended.

What is this? A stuffed crust commercial? Who eats pizza from the outside in? The reaper will completely mar your capability to taste the other layers of hell’!

You start off with the fire so you can progressively cool off.

Last year I planted some pepper plants, jalapeno and (what I thought was) jabanero. The peppers on one of the jabanero plants had these tiny little bumps on them and they eventually turned red instead of the usual orange of the jabaneros. When I ate the red bumpy ones, it wasn't so much that they were hot as it felt like I'd just been punched hard in the lips. I thought that they were just some kind of weird mutation, but it turns out they were actually Carolina Reapers that had been mislabeled at the plant store. I like hot food, but that shit was too much for me.

Note: it is habanero. Said with any Spanish accent it's gonna basically be abanero.

I do not envy your experience btw. I like the ultra spicy stuff, but that's when I expect it. If I was making what I thought was pineapple-habanero salsa and instead got the butthole destroyer, I'd be pretty upset.

Those are ROUGH. My pug ate some heritage seed peppers called Royal Black. He found them to his liking.

I feel like the pizza itself should be arranged the other way around, with the hottest on the outside and the mildest toward the center, so that the more you eat the more pain you experience. Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

However, that would ruin the Inferno reference.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I eat pizza crust first, except for stuffed crust. I eat that the "normal" way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

You would be surprised. I have met such people. In specific circumstances, such as stuffed crust, I will occasionally eat pizza crust first.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

that one donald trump pizza hut ad. think ringo starr did one too

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

On the other hand if you arrange it the other way around you get more of the spicier stuff.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

That's the definition of tragedy: a great pizza ruined by literalism.

I take offense that hatch green chiles are claimed to be less spicy than jalapeños. Also, habaneros are pretty often not that spicy, though plenty of them are.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

*Habanero. No tilde on the n.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Oops. Thanks. Updated. I know better, too. 🤦

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Supermarket jalapeños these days are really lacking in heat- I’ve done zero research on this but 15, 20 years ago they had much more of a kick.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

5 years ago jalapeños packed more heat. I’ve been trying to pick a different pepper but my grocery does not stock many spicy peppers reliably

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

There was a booth on a Rotterdam market named "Spice Girl". They sold a number of interesting things like the chili oil we are using (very carefully, and we are used to hot food!), and the pickled gherkins - with a habanero in the jar. Absolutely recommendable. Sadly, they no longer run that booth, as they have gone online.

It's actually harmful for dog's kidneys to eat peppers, onions, garlic, or mustard.

It's basically fatal if they eat grapes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Potentially fatal. My dog ate a whole bunch of grapes my wife foolishly left unattended for half a minute. We took her (the dog) to the emergency vets, they gave her an emetic, that didn't work on her, and she returned home the next day as if nothing had happened. The vets accomplished nothing but the bill was still outrageous.

Where do you see that for peppers? Google tells me bell peppers are fine for dogs but spicy peppers will upset their stomachs. The rest, sure

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I didn't find any studies for it with a quick browse so you can feel free to dismiss my claim, but in general you shouldn't feed carnivores any hard to digest plants.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

And chocolate.

Don't forget to mention what xylitol does to dogs.
Small amounts of arund 2 g per 10 kg body weight are very likely lethal within a short time if not treated instantly.
Xylitol can be in sugar free candy or chewing gum potentially making one piece of them a lethal dose for small dogs.
