That picture gave me PTSD (pre-traumatic stress disorder)


The idea of that many Carolina reapers etc in one place causes me anxiety.

Why would anybody need more than one? Is he weaponizing this?

I had one plant of each kind and they produced a crazy amount each. I ate them fresh, pickled some, put some in the freezer, and smoked/dehydrated some in the smoker and ground them into a seasoning. That’s not even all of them. I had been eating them the whole time and then had to pick the rest before it rained on them because they split open in the rain.

I like to cut them up with my UF2 and not rinse it off just in case. Lol

I wish that I could grow peppers that good. I guess I have a black thumb because my pepper plants always die.

Talk about a cast iron stomach.

I'd need to commission Nate to make me a D3V butthole!

🤣

that sounds impractical.

but check the CPK website using the search phrase "AECM buttplug". There may still be some in stock, although there are certain forum members- who will remain nameless- who've claimed more than their fair allotment. You might think that they're flippers, and you'd probably be right. However, I personally feel as though the aftermarket might not be a strong as they were hoping, so I expect them to fall into the recalcitrant collectors category

That's what a lot of people think. The fact is that it's the peppers that are not very hot when going down, are as hot as hell going out. Peppers that are real hot going down, are not as hot going out. At least that's been my experience with hot peppers, and I have been eating them my whole life.

I've had the opportunity to travel a fair bit, and always been a fan of hot and spicy food, too. I've been able to eat the local levels of spicy foods in India, Thailand, China (Szechuan), etc. and whenever I go to an Indian restaurant (in the US) and they ask for 'spice level', I tell them "Indian-spicey, make it how you would eat it", but there are a lot of folks on a whole different level (as evidenced by the proliferation of Nuclear/Biohazard/Weaponized Level IV type hot sauces available nowadays).

I'll be honest, I've never tried Ghost Peppers or Carolina Reapers (aside from some of those nuclear hot sauces). Habaneros are about the hottest rated peppers I've actually eaten (and those were fine), but my experience differs from yours. Food that went down hot, came out hot, too. 😂😓

I've never eaten a Habanero pepper that was very hot. I don't like them. The seeds are what makes a mild pepper seem hot going out. People make the mistake to assume that since the pepper isn't too hot, eating the seeds is ok. Lol! They will be on fire going out! Carolina Reaper Squeezin's are hot without the seeds. So, it's not as hot going out as most people would think.
Also, the Carolina Reaper Squeezin's doesn't seem to have much of a taste. I put some on vanilla ice cream one time and didn't taste anything but the ice cream, and the heat of course.
 
I've been stalking Trader Joe's for the last month waiting for their seasonal Smoked Ghost Pepper flake release. It's the best tasting pepper flake that I've ever tried. Not just heat, but a really good flavor.

If you're looking for an Asian style chili oil, my current favorite is the Killer Spice by The Spicy Mamas. It's the perfect amount of heat and not nearly as salty as some of the Chinese mass produced versions. I also am a big fan of the Momofuku Extra Spicy Chili Crunch. Not very spicy, but it has a really great flavor, especially when paired with their noodles. Don't want to drift too far off "random" into the "what are you eating thread?". 😜
