How spicy do I like my food?

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@nuintari Lmao!!

[hyc@mastodon.social]

@catsalad I would order that, at least once. Just to see...

@nuintari @catsalad

Used to have a Chinese place that could make general tsos chicken hot enough to make me cry without changing the flavor of the dish at all. And I’m a Thai hot kind of guy myself. Never could figure out how they did it.

@catsalad actual receipt from every takeout order for @skinnylatte

[infoseclogger@infosec.exchange]

@catsalad You got to try Mekong in Wauwatosa, WI. The go spicy from 0 stars to 5 stars, and the menu explicitly states whie people don't get more than 2 stars unless they know you personally.

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@deedasmi @nuintari See that's the good stuff, when they can crank up the spicy without completely changing the flavor of the dish!

My friend once gave me one of their ghost pepper / Carolina reaper crossbreeds alone with one of their habanero peppers.

I mixed them up by accident, and ate their crossbreed, seeds and all, right before I started driving the next day.

I knew I goofed when the delay for tasting the spicy was like 2 minutes straight. It was a straight 30 minutes or so of ever increasing mouth hellfire that made me stop and buy milk hoping it would help. Lol

@catsalad I would die!

@catsalad oof oh no

@catsalad

Long ago before peppers gained the nuclear fission superpowers of today, I once ate half of a hot pepper... "I found out"

[leendaal@rollenspiel.social]

@catsalad our only Carolina reaper so far did not come out too hot, but very tasty. It was of a very different quality though, hitting straight through the mouth with the first touch and immediately crawling down into the stomach.

With our local resident taco shop they distributed spicy on scale of 0-10 i typically ordered 12-13 and they did IT.

@nuintari @catsalad that's quite a change from Perrysburg 40+ years ago, when the spiciest stuff in town was probably the turkey gravy down at the truckstop off the Turnpike.

@catsalad

The morning after is even more fiery, with no milky way out of the 🔥

[feff@comicscamp.club]

@catsalad
I approve (and can only dream) of this level of spice in a pad thai

[betacuck4lyfe@kolektiva.social]

@catsalad holy shit, that's intense

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@BetaCuck4Lyfe Oh it was! Lol

[kallisti@infosec.exchange]

@catsalad

I imagine "*spec prep*" as some sort of weird gun cocking sound

"MAKE HIM REGRET"
*spec prep*
"BEING BORN"

*Duke Nukem theme plays*

@purrperl @catsalad Someone has to invent the yogurt bidet.

[dave_cochran@infosec.exchange]

@catsalad @deedasmi @nuintari 1000% this - i enjoy heat, but i cannot stand the way that (for example) bell peppers taste. If you can give me the one without the other (and have food that is otherwise, you know, good ofc), i'll order from you for-goddamn-ever

[pewterdragon@library.love]

@catsalad I enjoy spicy. Enough that the majority of the people I know don't trust my perception of what constitutes a "spicy dish". That being true, I regretted the only time I tried a dish that was advertised as extraordinarily spicy.

I had "just" chicken wings at a local restaurant. They asked me to sign a waiver, and I could only eat 2 and a half wings. I shared the love with my roommate, and the wing sauce that he failed to clean out from under his class ring gave him a chemical burns.
