    I bit into a jalapeno once and I ended up crying on the floor, unable to talk because I lost my voice.
    It is absolutely incomprehensible to me how someone can eat a 400k scoville pepper and say it's very mild. I'd need an ambulance for that. If I ever touched anything in the millions, just call the priest.

    It is really hard to put in perspective just how hot proper extreme hot peppers are to someone who hasn't eaten them, so I for one appreciate the effort here. I had a friend grow some Trinidad Scorpions and give me a couple and eating one straight (whole) was definitely an experience.

    I’m one of those people who falls into the “utterly pitiful heat wimp” category. I cannot tolerate sriracha. I accidentally ate a slice of pizza once that had been touched by one (1) pickled jalapeño on the next slice over and was miserable for the better part of half an hour. (Occasionally I can tolerate fresh jalapeños in pico de gallo or something like that, but it depends) I have never once tasted any discernible “flavor” in any kind of pepper that has noticeable capsaicin in it because all I get is pain. Yes, I am fully aware that you can build a tolerance to heat if you just eat enough of it. No, I am not even willing to try. My friends and my spouse can (and do!) razz me about this as much as they like, I am of the firm belief that eating should not involve physical pain of any sort, thank you very much.
    Ed Currie exists on a different plane of reality than the one I’m on, but he’s just so gosh darn nice and polite I can’t help but enjoy watching him. Thanks for bringing him back.

    Me (holds a bell pepper): This one's a real favorite. Lot of sweetness, the flavors are just awesome. I like this one in salads and stir-fries, but it's just on the border of my spice tolerance. I'm gonna put it in the Spice column with the comment "Push to the limit".

      He made the Caroline Reaper and ate a 3 mil Scoville powder of capsaicin (which he said was one of the dumbest things he has ever done). Eventually, the effects of capsaicin are barely noticeable unless you are eating peppers with a lot of it.

      I think you can form a tolerance for capsaicin the more you eat peppers. Since it's just a sensory illusion, it starts to dilute after awhile.

    As a Trinidadian, I love that this trip "around the world" for peppers was about 30% a trip to Trinidad alone 😂 I don't know why we're obsessed with peppers and breeding peppers but we absolutely are and we have a lot of variations here so I loved getting to see him highlight a couple ones that even I didn't know about!
    Also this guy is soo cool and soo chill. It's hard to believe that he took all those peppers so calmly but I am glad that he's strong enough to because there was no way I'd know what some of those tasted like otherwise!! I appreciate him tasting them so we don't have to, bless his heart.

    Once ate 5 Carolina Reaper pods that was in a pickle brine. They were whole. I ate all the pickles, which were very hot, and one day I decided to eat the peppers. I regret that choice. While my mouth was on fire in a way I'd never known before, I was able to handle that. What did the K.O. was how my body reacted to it internally. Pain, internal pain. It was so bad that I panicked and eventually lost consciousness. Yes, I passed out because of the internal pain. Won't do that again.
