Hot food and peppers have come up a few times. I enjoy the hell outa some peppers and hate others. Right now my favorite pepper is the Ghost pepper. Really good flavor and the heat can be easily regulated by food.

How about you guys?

(Trying to think ahead to next years garden)

I have some powder that most can't take. It's got ghost, reapers and scorpions. A little goes a very long way.
Oakswamper will chime in I'm sure.

I can take heat, but I'm not a super freak either. At BBWs, spicy garlic and mango habanero are favs. I'll eat the blazin, but it's not worth the toll it takes on my sphincter on the way out. A fresh jalepano is one of my favorite hot treats. I like hot stuff that makes the nose run, but has flavor and doesn't make me miserable.

Nothing over garlic or BBQ lol. Had emergency hernia surgery back in 02' and 10" of large intestine was removed. Anything with any kind of kick literally goes right thru me.

I can't do spicy stuff. Never understood how people enjoy feeling like they were just pepper sprayed in the face and mouth but to each his own I guess.

It is very hard to beat a fresh jap off the plant. That crunch...added with the green flavor followed up with a questionable heat. Yummy! I wish they were more predictable on heat though.

I like hot stuff or really sour stuff I put Frank's on about everything my wife tells me I'm gross Ive had some stuff that makes you cry and it's always worse coming out. If you haven't seen it check out cat fish Cooley's videos on facebook he eats couple different kind of peppers it cracks me up.

I like 'Hot BBQ' at B-dubs and my favorite hot sauce is made by El Yucateco Chile Habanero. I'm not a fan of crazy hot stuff but i like heat, as long as it's got good flavor.

At what point does it become more about heat than flavor? I like flavor, not a burning flavor or the ramification of what comes after....

I stop at Jalapenos nowadays. Once was a time I could handle Quaker Steak & Lube's hottest wing offering. I still have a tablespoon of Tabasco Sauce every morning with breakfast. I no longer enjoy my backdoor burning in the morning so I've dialed it down the past 10 years.

I don't like just heat...well, after a bunch of beers i can get stupid. But I have a much higher heat pallet then most people. I've been eating peppers since I was just a little kid. Walking around the garden with dad or grandpa eating peppers straight from the plants.

As long as you like the flavor of the pepper itself, you can tone it down with food. The Ghost pepper craze going on right now proves that. Hell, even fast food joints sold food with it.

I'm also a huge fan of spicy pickles. And not the kind that Chad likes, the legit cucumber with vinegar and peppers type.

I grow Ghost, Scorpions and Reapers after I pick a big batch of them I dry them out in my smoker for about 40 hours and then grind them into a coarse pepper.

I use it in my sauce, rub and sausage recipes. I also use an 1/8 teaspoon in of it in my spicy kielbasa only 5lb batches and that's about all most people can take lol
Giles I will bring you a care package of various things you can try when I see you this weekend but I suggest not trying them while hunting :smiley_bril:
