Some Like It Hot

I've grown Carolina Reapers on and off for a few years now, so this will be interesting I've ordered a few different seeds and hot sauces from Ed Currie's company (Puckerbutt Pepper Co.) and each time he personally emailed me a thank you for my order, and we chatted about growing peppers a bit. He strikes me as a very humble guy.
New Guinness World Record spiciest pepper, 'Pepper X,' is three times as spicy as Carolina Reaper

 

I like hot and spicy just not eyes watering with snot pouring out of my nose hot.

 

I hear you. All I do with those super hots is use them sparingly making batches of fermented hot sauce. They'll ruin a pot of chili and trying to eat even a small sliver of a raw one is a foolhardy venture

 

I'm not going anywhere near it!

 

X2 I do enjoy hot on occasion but nothing crazy.

 

What would you really use it for, home made pepper spray? Ever see someone doing the one chip challenge? No way I'd even do that.

 

At what point do we start considering these things that are beyond ridiculously hot as poison?

 

I never understood the obsession some people have with super spicy food.

 

I like jalapeno , but beyond that is too hot for me.
I've grown habanero and some Thai chili.
Don't fill a dehydrator with Thai chili in the kitchen.
Never got into fermenting them.

 

You're not wrong considering extracts from some peppers are used for crowd control in certain places.

 

Just ordered one of these. We have fun with hot stuff at work.

 

That looks awesome…. I’m really starting to appreciate sweet foods infused with fire.

 

I love spicy food! I haven’t tried the insanely hot peppers as of yet though.

I realized about a year ago my tolerance for spicy food may be higher than average. We had a chili contest at work and one guy made a really spicy batch. People took one bite and were sweating. I had multiple servings. LOL.

 

That's what I think about it as well. I like some heat, but heat with no flavor is dumb.
This reminds me of the time our friends had a "chili dump" at a Halloween party. Everyone brings a bit of chili and puts it on a communal crockpot. Well, that one idiot put the 5 ghost pepper chili in and ruined the whole batch.

 

Lol, I've dehydrated hot peppers in the house once. And just Once that is. Now I do that outside only. I find that when I make jerky, I have to add a bunch of hot pepper to it, otherwise it gets eaten way too fast.

 

Anyone try these? Couple years ago a co-worker brought in a bag. I had 4-5. That's about as hot as I'd prefer ( I don't remember what flavor he had). I've had some nasty Thai and chili that was unbearable, the Takis I could tolerate.

 

or Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.

 

I love spicy foods but at a certain point I get the hiccups.
I don't like my supper to be a challenge.

I'm pretty sure he's a recovering addict, hence the drive to power through the pain until the body turns it into euphoria as a defense mechanism to stay conscious.
