Peppers above Habeneros on Scoville are too much its literally just pain no pepper taste, I think they are superfluous. :meow-cactus:
I love spicy food that fucks me up though. I'm a pain piggie :pigmask:
A lot of them do have great flavors behind the heat, you just gotta get them to the point you can taste it. Dilute them, cook them whole, scrape off the inner surface if you're brave/stupid.
They have their uses. If you don’t want a lot of pepper flavor but still want spice in a dish made for multiple people, you can toss like a single very throughly diced ghost pepper to do the trick. I use them for stews and big things of pasta.

This is correct
I'm not gonna the Scoville weirdo but some are really really good ingredients. Smoked ghost Pepper has a great flavor, you just dilute the shit out of it
There are 0 reasons to use ketchup.
Your local walmart has 30,000 different styles and flavors of food dressings/condiments and 90% will serve you better than fucking red sodium paste.
This counts as a spicy spicy-food take because I am wh*te-passing
Counterpoint: Ketchup is delicious. In India we've got access to millions of chutneys and pickles but we're still going to use ketchup for some things
You do you my friend, of course!
spoiler
The people I'm talking to know who they are.
Counterpoint: Chipotle Ketchup with sweet potato fries.
This is fine, I am specifically talking about like a bottle of heinz ketchup. Even just mixing Chipotle with it is a dramatic improvement
Where do you come down on the Ketchup-Mayo mixture (aka the whitest of all condiments)?
No opinion, aside from the hatred of ketchup tbh; but that's because I have only unintentionally eaten mayonnaise once.
I had successfully repressed the memory of eating that disgusting ketchup-mayo mix that comes out of the tube in red and white stripes, like a toothpaste or smth, and it's the absolute blandest, shittiest ketchup ypu can imagine. Now this has resurfaced again and i want to throw up.
It looks like if a candy cane passed through undigested.
Not being able to handle spicy food is fine. Jokes about people who can't handle spicy food aren't really that funny
look into Indian pickles they're awesome. You get pickled mango, onion, lemons, GARLIC, so so much
Pickled meyer lemons charred on a hot fire (wanna get those black lines to know its carmelized) changed my life.
those korean super spicy ramens are too hot. during early quarantine, i stocked up on dry foods cuz scarcity or whatever, and i love spicy food, so i got those. i ate like 4 out of actual hunger before i realized people eat them as a challenge on youtube lol
While I don't know about the Korean spicy ramens, I have a bunch of "Durban curry" flavoured two minute noodles, and that stuff is amazing lol
I was not expecting cheese ramen to be so spicy. Once I knew what I was getting into it wasn’t bad and I like them occasionally now but god damn did the first one I try kill me at first.
Instant pho with a few added veggies or whatever is my new go to for instant noodles
I bought one of those labeled 2x spicy. I finished it because I will not be beaten by food but now I understand why some Hot Ones guests say it hurts to talk. I was talking with my parents and they just kept laughing every time I got up to refill my water glass.
Spicy food is good. Food that is so spicy that you can't taste anything but the spiciness is stupid.
Hot take: spicy for the sake of being spicy is cool and good. And there is no upper limit to spiciness where food becomes too spicy.
Bell peppers + celery + onion is superior to the classic carrots + celery + onion mix/base.
Oh that's not a take specific to spicy food, well shit now I need to come up with one. Uhhh sweet+spicy flavour combinations are really good and should be used even more often.
Yeah it is, and if you add a little bit of garlic to it, it becomes even better
Green peppers are fucking awful, and if you use them in a dish I assume you fucked up the intended flavor and are trying to cover it with garbage.
Oh, crap, I didn't fully read the title, I thought this was "spiciest food takes", not specifically "spicy food takes".
Uh, Wasabi peas are a goddamn delightful snack. In general we should use horseradish in more dishes.
OK you know the whole pineapple on pizza thing? Fuck that (I mean I love it, but thats not the point Im making). Once you take the pizza out, while still hot... add a few pieces of chocolate. Works better when there is something spicy.
In other news - croissants make really, really good hot dog buns.
French fries actually go really well with sugar and Nutella (long story but I discovered this when I discovered that a plantain does NOT taste like a banana)
Finally - take out pizza in Thailand is better than pizza I had in Italy. Before you grab the pitchforks, hear me out: there are two ways to enjoy pizza: one is very high quality mind blowing but simple ingredients , but are ultimately familiar. The other is finding rich and complex flavours, that interact in a cool way without being overwhelming. The sauce on Pizza I had in Thailand was exactly that, complex, different enough, and deliciously spicy.
None of these are spicy foods. But the pizza thing is weird so this can stay
Oof, I read this as wanting takes about food that are spicy not takes about spicy food. My bad.
Spicy food is very bad for your gastric system and they should not be eaten
I eat spicy food every day because me dum dumb
I'm not giving either up soon. Stomach lining is for losers and dweebs
Since i live in Turkey i like to give this exemple:
The region of Turkey that is known for its spicy foods and heavily meat based consumption has like 50% more gastrointestinal diseases than the rest of the country
Eating spicy once in a while won't be that harmful, but consistent consumption is definitely not good
It's okay if you can't handle spicy food, as long as you give it to me
