      Yeah, when his "everyday pepper" that is just tasty and slightly hot but not overwhelming is 1.5 million SHU...There is a massive range of spiciness that normal people can experience that get compressed into almost nothing to him. I like the guy, but his ratings just aren't applicable to normal people, only the top spice heads.

      ​@@simon-pierrelussier2775I'll tell you what I told the last guy. What else are they supposed to do if they wanted him to taste test the hottest peppers in the world? Because he has like 7 out of the 10. Remove every one of his peppers and they will have 2 of the same ones and all of the lower heat ones that he will also guess perfectly because, guess what? He breeds peppers for a living. I guarantee he has tried every pepper in the top 25 spiciest peppers and probably knows what they look like, what the insides look like, and everything else pretty much by heart. Like I just think your point is so mute and irrational "i want the only 3 star Michelin chef in michigan to try and rate the other high class dishes even though its a taste test of the best possible food in Michigan." Do you see how incompetent that is?

      3- It's ok to have some of his, having the majority? That's just promotion and "has like 7 out of the 10" isn't a counter-argument to that.
      4- Obviously he should know all about hot peppers and while that has nothing to do with what I said, they could have made a blind test - LIKE THEY WROTE IN THE TITLE.

      ​@@Trap_Bandicoot okay... let me explain this to you. What are they supposed to do if they want the creator of most of the spiciest peppers in existence (litterally 7 out of the top 10 in SHU rating) to try some of the spiciest peppers in existence? Think about it.. nice and hard. They give him his peppers. Yeah I get it isnt much of a "blind" taste test. Realistically if you gave him the next hottest peppers in the line he would guess those too, you wanna know why? Because he has almost certainly bred them and if not he has tried them multiple times. You can tell he knows most peppers before he even eats them, I guarantee unless they were very obscure and low heat he would have a very high likelihood of guessing them

      Different tolerance levels, then. Bird’s Eye chillies are mild, so mild we use them daily and in almost every meal in Malaysia. The green ones have little to no heat at all in them. Very earthy. The ripe red ones have heat in them, but I think they’re mild. I love using them for fried rice. Pound them with onions, a bit of garlic, a bit of dried shrimp with a pestle and mortar. Sautee the paste in oil, until you really smell the aroma rising. When the paste starts to get a bit darker, put in oyster sauce and/or fish sauce (yea, the smelly one) and stir. Put in leftover rice, and cook evenly. Use MSG for seasoning, but if you’re too scared to use MSG, salt to taste, a pinch of sugar.

      He's a former alcoholic (I know, it stays, but I mean that I assume he currently isn't drinking, based on his word). Tremors are part of withdrawal when in addiction. I am not sure if they are long-lasting after a point, but that is my guess.

    I'm surprised that so many people including Ed himself gives the Carolina Reaper pepper so little credit for flavor because at least for me, I absolutely love its flavor whether it is eating the pepper straight or using it as a sauce or powder on food, it is one of my favorites and for me is it has been the most versatile pepper to satisfy all my spice needs.

    Something wrong with the scale when a habenero gets rated as mild.

    • @Jhud69
      @Jhud69 12 днів тому +4

      Honestly when you are interested in spicy stuff enough to build at least SOME tolerance, then yes habanero is mild. Though depends on the application. For me habanero hot sauces are too weak but eating a habanero powder infused fudge was somewhat eye watering (but enjoyable). My favorite hot sauce is carolina reaper beased but a piece of carolina reaper infused chocolate did make me cry, etc. Now, those are processed chillies, raw ones are different, but he doesn’t take that much of a bite of each.

      He has to leave room on the scale, for an average joe pretty much all of these would be all the way on the spicy side.

    • @windhelmguard5295
      @windhelmguard5295 11 днів тому

      i mean if it is an absolute scale, the habanero IS closer to zero than it is to pepper x so yea on the mild side it goes.

    I've grown the Carolina Reaper and it really is outrageously hot. It will make some seriously painful and tasty hot-sauce but I think that's all it can do. it really is almost impossible to cook with for anything you'd want to eat more than like a couple of drops of at a time.
