Why’s it always fucking ghost peppers, why can’t it be one that actually tastes good like bonnets or reapers.
Western food ideology treats spicy food as like an extreme sport and not a general component of flavour, so you get people who won’t eat anything remotely spicy at all and you get people who want it to be as unpleasant as possible as some kind of experience. People who are just normal about appreciating food spiciness and flavour seem to be the minority.
It’s especially stupid now that reapers exist because those fuckers are delicious for the 0.22s before your tongue shuts down.
That’s why I like some of that spicy Thai chili paste. Sambal… something. I basically need off the next day, but it’s so worth it.
Can’t be great. Eating some Chunky brand soup rn for work, since my fridge died after buying groceries and I didn’t have the time for my usual lazy rice and beans. The shit blows.
Anyway, isn’t it crazy how these canned soups have lethal levels of sodium and still taste mid at best?
Never had it, but my expectations are always very low for big-brand food items labeled as “ghost pepper”. If I don’t have to pause halfway through eating it to gather myself, you shouldn’t legally be able to call it that.
Ah yes because “adding your favorite hot sauce” to soup is just too much effort
looks awful
