:elmofire: you must eat the chilies :mao-aggro-shining:
As an aside, I find white people hot sauces to be pretty unpleasant. Most of the actually hot ones seem to be unbalanced and only out to cause pain in a "eating this proves I'm macho" kind of way. If there's any balance of flavor, it's just a bit sour which is fine but still not amazing.
Idk, if anyone has recommendations, lmk.
What heat level do you top out at and what flavor profile do you want? We are having a bit of a hot sauce renaissance so lots of options.
They can handle the heat
So they should handle the worst of everything
'If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any revolution.
How can you have any revolution if you don't eat yer meat?'It was Beijing's ruinous salt tax that forced the Sichuanese to use chili peppers to flavor their food. A major source of income was taxing salt. It's demonic in its evilness. Either pay the sky-high price or have food with no taste. Salt is an important nutrient that is essential in our cells, which is why we are rewarded for consuming it with the sensation of good taste. So they were forced into using peppers, which let's just be clear here, hurt. The government forced people to hurt rather than eat bland, flavorless food. Demonic.
That’s interesting:the-more-you-know:
I gotta say that peppers are delicious and the heat feels good though, for some of us at least.
Sichuanese people can't eat anything unless it's burn-your-mouth-off spicy. If it's not, they complain it has no flavor and is not worth eating. A curse, honestly.
probably not, i'm just riffing on why people might have universally not liked spicy food at first despite being physically capable of eating it and its benefits for food preservation
Proving my place in the vanguard by stuffing my face with chilies

Back in my spice lord days, I could reliably push myself up to about 2 million scovilles.
I haven't bought stuff like that in a few years, but I'd be down to do a Hexbear Hot Ones sometime.
