    I used to eat those peanuts in China all the time. They are amazing. The peanuts are fried with the peppers, as a result they both have a unique crispy texture. There are both sichuan peppercorns (knumbing) and sichuan peppers (similar to birds eye or thai) in them.

      Have you ever tried the variety made by Xing Sheng De (XSD)? One person said those were even better. I've been fortunate to find several other brands, but none were as tasty and crunchy as Huang Fei Hong's 'Spicy Peanuts'. They recently released 'Super Spicy Peanuts', plus have 'Spicy Peanuts with Dried Fish', 'Spicy Peanuts with Dried Shrimps', 'Mala Peanut Butter' among other snacks, but I haven't found any of these yet...

    Had my own experience with the O.G. Puckerbutt Reaper Sauce the other night. Wanted to spice up a pot of instant noodles, so I put about 1/4 teaspoon in. Problem was, the pot was at full boil and it dispersed a goodly dose of pepper oil droplets into the air. I and my roommate had to evacuate with noses running, eyes streaming, and coughs hacking. Lesson learned, add that stuff at the end, only after the boil's gone!

      I like to reheat pizza on the stove top with a little bit of water so the steam heats the top part. Also, I'm a big fan of Flatiron crushed pepper flakes, which are much hotter than normal crushed red pepper flakes (they taste great, I highly recommend them). I have learned the hard way to add the pepper flakes after heating. It's an exceptionally effective way to get people in your household to yell obscenities at you.

    Hey Ed! Huang Fei Hong also offer a newer 'Super Spicy Peanuts' variety, plus (if you're adventurous in another way) 'Spicy Peanuts with Dried Fish', 'Spicy Peanuts with Dried Shrimps', 'Mala Peanut Butter' and 'Magic Chili' (though these have most of their spice boiled out in processing, but are still quite addictive). Unfortunately, one might only be able to locate 'Magic Chili' in the US. 'Maxiangzui Peanuts' are also quite different, since they're seasoned with Sichuan peppercorn giving them a numbing quality.

Another brand I like which seem to appear seasonally in winter are Herr's brand chips, specifically their Carolina Reaper cheese puffs. Unfortunately, they seem weaker this year than I remember them being, so that's a bummer.

    Great episode, keep it up! Things I enjoy eating and drinking at times, Katjang pedis, which literally means spicy peanuts. Also try the apple ginger shots, again not very spicy but the ginger note in it gives the subtle hits of heat.

    My favorite spicy snacks won't impress a fire eater but they are delicious. I love wasabi peas, and I have to make sure I buy them in small containers because of how compulsive they are to eat. The classic nostalgia of atomic fireballs is unbeatable for a little taste of childhood. Also, gotta love Hot Tamales candy and jalapeno flavored kettle chips.

      He doesn't put the scovile on his sauces. Hot ones uses the scovile unit of whatever the pepper is in the sauces. Ed isn't deceptive

    • @Goblin1986p
      @Goblin1986p Місяць тому +3

      ​@@austinweber7913 on his bottle no, on the show...yes. He is in partnership with them, and produces the sauces for heatonist because he wont let the pepperx out of his own production line. So he willingly allows their claims to continue as a partner...turning a blind eye to what the claims are that he could easily squash. He also has claimed that the pepper x last dab sauce was at least 2x hotter than the Apollo sauce. Later it was found that the apollo sauce actually tested nearly 2x higher than the pepper x sauce.

    Ed lives in my small town (Fort Mill, SC) and I have seen him at the strawberry festival and he also was a customer at my grocery store when I managed the fresh foods department. I made him a few sandwich trays one time.
    He has a little store in downtown fort mill which is great because I have gotten to try new sauces before most people. I got the first pepper x sauce there like two years before it became a thing.
