If mayo is too spicy for you, gulag. If you eat ghost peppers because you want to feel pain, also gulag. All food shall be of average to moderately spiciness according to the opinion of a middle aged man from India. Seriously fuck chicken wing places that dab inedible hot sauce on the corpse of animal that died to be food that’s barely edible. White people, I fucking hate them.

    Its not toxic but I personally find it cringey. Spice tolerance varies and that’s fine. One can train themselves if they wish to experience spicy flavors. Making something incredibly spicy for no reason (artificial capsaicin) doesn’t do a lot for flavor and is weird. Its a sort of wannabe machismo I see.

        I’ve grown ghost peppers before, and eaten them fresh off the plant. Unfortunately they weren’t as hot as they could have been because the plant wasn’t nutritionally stressed with dry sandy soil, so they were more like just big habaneros: pleasantly warm, and suitable for being chopped up on a pizza.
