    Just putting it out there.
    There should be a pepper wiki.
    🌶
    It should have the name of the plant, average pod size, average plant height, name of the original grower, the generation the grower started distribution and plant heritage.
    More?
    Then just have 1000+ sommelier tasting words in a tag list.
    Eg;
    Carolina Reaper: slightly sweet, cherry, licorice, star anise, aromatic, botanical.
    And then use a radar chart to show burn location.
    Tongue, lips, cheeks, back of throat, chest, teeth sometimes even.
    I forget Reaper burn location. I think it's back of the throat, cheeks(?), and top of tongue?
    Then give a brief description of anything interesting and history. How it was made, grower intentions et cetera. Maybe include other taste disruptions.
    Been thinking about this for awhile but I dont have the computer skills anymore 😅

      The fandom wiki group (originally wikia) has a very easy tool for making wikis. Maybe that's worth checking out. It's for instance the host of the harry potter wiki etc.
      They allow all kinds of wikis except for private ones. So a chili wiki would be fair game

      Should be a lot of fun with friends and family. Our chaplain, among other people, were thrilled to collect some pods to share with church family. He said they had a lot of fun playing with the fire of my ghost pepper pods. FYI, it took a long time for the ghost pepper to reach the ripe pod stage. Doesn't produce nearly so fast as bananas and jalapenos. And be careful of overwatering. I'd stress the plant just a little bit and allow soil to dry. If soil is damp about an inch down leave it be until it isn't. It's also said that you can gently tickle the flowers to accelerate pollination. Google and see.

I've always liked spicier food than all friends and family, and as of late I have just had a crazy hankering for more hot stuff, as of right now just tons of hot sauces and spicy novelty foods. got a tons of sauces, but its time to train and move up to peppers.

    Hey Johnny, big fan. I started watching your videos a few month"s ago, and since then i've been a chili head. This is my tolerance journey from 2 month's to now, with my small town limitation's on pepper buying. 2 month's ago me and my brother were talking about spice, and we decided to buy a pack of habanero's. I tried them and got hooked, and melted. So for 3 week's I ate at least 1-2 a day. Then I found out that our safeway was better. So after 3 week's of habanero's, I made the switch to Carolina reaper's. I ate those for a week, then I upgraded to Trinidad scorpion's. A month in I had a strict scorpion diet. I ate a whole yellow scorpion and cooked with a chocolate scorion's. A month later 8\9\20 I pretty much only eat scorpion's, but I have increased my scoville intake. So in 2 month's I was able to go from 0 to an overall tolerance of 1.4-1.6 million scoville's. I am so in love with pepper's, I have a book that I use to review new one's. I have 5 way's of reviewing a pepper. 1 Look 2 Smell 3 Texture 4 Taste 5 Burn, where and how much.

    I’ve been a lover of spicy foods since I was about 16 when a classmate dared me to eat a whole orange habanero and swallow it for $10 on a bet. I did. I kinda suffered but I also loved it. I eat crazy hot foods and always spice it up at Thai and Indian restaurants. Still, of all the ones I’ve grown I gotta say the Caribbean Red habanero is my favorite overall. It’s the perfect balance of intense heat and a distinguishing fruity flavor that goes well with most spicy dishes.

Yesterday, i had one jalapeño that was, just like you said, zero heat, a bell pepper. Then had another that was literally the hottest thing I've ever eaten. Seemed like way more than the 3k SHU to 8k SHU range I've seen. Good to know about how they can have a massive variance.

    Great video Johnny, you're right there are great heath benefits from eating peppers. I love eating nice hot peppers. Most of mine are still green, they're just now starting to ripen, with the cayenne leading the way (the choc. habs are next, can't wait to eat one - I'll have to sit down with one on one of your upcoming videos and I'll chase the heat with ya)
    totally off-topic, but have you tried Puckerbutt's 'I dare you Stupit' reaper sauce? OMG!! Hands down the best hot sauce I've had in ages, and so simple, white vinegar and reaper mash ... imagine :)
    take care bud, always love your videos.

    I just started being a chili head myself here recently. I've always liked Jalapenos and Habaneros. Tried the shut up juice challenge at cabot AR and it for some reason set the stage to my tolerance. With my amature build, the heat of that extract and your vids as well as LA Beast--I ordered some chocolate bhutlas and Carolina Reapers and have ate a few of each. It's my new side hobby. When playing a game or watching a movie it really settles you in. I eat a few bi weekly now. Such a simple way to enjoy life. Love the vids. Cheers.

    I have been watching your videos for about 2 weeks now. I have always loved hot foods. All though I would not consider myself a "chili head" quite yet, I feel that my tolerance is already at least well above average. I also have very little experience in eating raw pods. I love sauces and I know I can tolerate a habanero at best right now. You have truly inspired me Johnny! I definitely want to officially begin a journey of chasing the heat! I would absolutely love to join in on a group pod review! I feel like that is such a great idea. Thank you once again for the inspiration and all the great content!

    Hey brother! Hopefully you (Or anyone else) can answer this for me. For years and years I have always loved heat. Any Mexican or asian joint, it's "can I get that extra hot". I eat jalapenos and serranos almost every day in my food. Love it. Love the flavor of habaneros a lot. My older boys and I ate a habanero a few months back (I usually cook with them, so dont get all the heat) and while they were drinking milk and half freaking out, I ate a couple more. It was hot, of course but not too uncomfortable. So the other day while in the grocery store I saw some ghost peppers and reapers. Decided I would try the ghost peppers as I needed some for my salsa anyway. While I was getting ready to eat it I didn't know what to expect. As soon as I ate it I was more delighted with the flavor but the heat was strange. It didn't feel any hotter than the habaneros. So I ate a couple more and the same. So I figured if that was roughly 3-4 times as hot as a habanero and did't hurt then I'll try the reapers. Was a little worried but tried the first one anyway. Same exact thought. It was about the same heat level as the habanero/ghost pepper. So I have eaten a few since now and they are hot but it seems like there is a threshold that once it gets to a certain heat level it just kinda plateaus. Is that normal? Maybe these aren't hot variations of these peppers?
    Anyways, love what you do and dig watching you guys in the videos, thanks brother!

    I only recently started eating pods straight, I am used to just slicing them up for pizzas and gravys, but about an hour before this was uploaded I had my first Caribbean habanero. My grandfather grows a bunch of hot peppers, he recently brought me a bunch of the Caribbean habaneroes, along with quite a few butch ts. Oh boy am I glad I didn't start off with one of the butch ts.

  • @antman674
    @antman674 3 роки тому

    I found the same thing to be true with habaneros as far as the variance in heat. Especially the ones you find at the grocery store. Ive had some that were total duds with almost no heat, and at least one that was so hot i had to lay down for 30 minutes from the endorphin rush. Usually the home grown peppers are going to be hotter than what you'll find in the supermarket.

    I ate my first raw jalapeno today. I have a bad back from a car accident a decade ago. I have low heat tolerance as I am just starting out. Tears streamed down my face for a couple of minutes, not crying just eyes watered... Drank water to help with the heat... Same as you described with the milk. Heat was gone while water was in the mouth but came back after swallowing. 10 - 15 minutes I was uncomfortable. Back pain was gone after that for the rest of the day! Fuck pain pills!!! I'm gonna start chasing the heat! Gonna eat a jalapeno a day till that no longer works and then step up to a either a Hungarian Wax or a Serrano. Wish me luck on my journey! :)

    I remember the first time I had a habanero on an empty stomach,
    It was probably the hottest most powerful one I've had(cause if you're gonna learn the hard way, might as well be the hardest version)
    ,but oddly enough the next biggest surprise was eating my garden jalapenos, my second year growing them they were almost all higher heat than anything else I was growing,
    I hadn't ate any from that crop yet & I was with my nieces and was trying to convince them that they really aren't too hot,
    then it hit me like a habanero on and empty stomach, and because they thought I was mostly acting one of them took a small bite and I enjoyed every second of it.😆

    Been growing the odd few Chilli plants for the last 3 or 4 years but only starting to actually get on the Chilli journey now.
    Jalapeños and Cayennes are no problem, so my "starting level" are Habanero's and Scotch Bonnets. Cant wait for the ride man 🔥
    Gonna attempt to grow a couple of Super Hots this coming season, all being well. So hopefully by harvest time, I'll be well prepared 😂
    Keep up the great work dude.
    Big love from 🇬🇧 🌶

    Great video Johnny. I have definitely been interested in increasing my tolerance with different peppers. I've already eaten many jalapenos in the past. On my channel I ate a raw habanero pod and it was great. I could definitely handle a lot more heat in the mouth. What I did notice is shortly after consuming it I started getting some pretty gnarly hiccups. It did not really burn my stomach or anything like that. So I'm wondering when might the hiccups disappear? Thank you so much for all you do. You most definitely have inspired me.

The wild sauce was my goto and I worked there when they had the ghost pepper sauce which was much hotter than the blazing sauce.I was able to eat a Carolina reaper although it put me out of commission for a bit .

    I've been used to Cajun food my whole life, so today I decided to grab a pound of gorgeous habanero pods... I won't say it was too much, but I will say it was a fun ride. The pods taste great though. Hardly floral, with a slight bell pepper-eque flavor. Not sweet, but not bitter. Thanks for the advice Johnny!
