food What is your hot pepper tolerance?

[Muffinnz 3,219]

Whats you hot pepper tolerance? Is it high? is it low?

 

 

Im not too sure about mine. I think my tolerance could be decent? I think the hottest peppers I've ever tried were habanero peppers although they really aren't bad, id only need about a cup of water after. Stuff like Jalapeno pepper have no effect at all. Maybe ill order hotter peppers off the internet because none of the stores near me carry anything really serious.

I can just barely handle a good bite of a jalapeno. To be honest, improvement at spiciness tolerance seems pretty linear and I think I could do it. It seems as simple as climbing the Scoville Scale. Climbing the pepper ladder, if you will. I can't be 100% sure though.

It's really hard to tell how high my tolerance for those spicy stuff, but I can recall that the spiciest stuff I've ever tried was a locally made hot pepper paste made from Bird's Eye chili peppers (50,000 - 100,000 SHU). I tried that with a single tortilla chip when offered by friends, and it was ridiculosely hot, it took ten minutes for the spiciness to go away from my taste buds.

Does fresh ground black pepper count? I use a lot. That's about as spicy as I go though.

Sigh...

Pretty good, compared to people that I know, though I have not measured it. I like spicy stuff. 

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

I'm not particularly good with spicy stuff at all anyway so a pepper could potentially kill me! 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Next to none. I don't like spicy food, so I've never really ate any sort of peppers or anything.

[Clawdeen 14,150]

I love spicy stuff but I also have a low tolerance lol. I love it and I’m also dying at the same time lol.

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

Zero because I can’t stand spicy stuff

Well, are we talking about chomping them whole, as in popular internet challenges?  Or are we talking about actually cooking with them like the way one would normally eat them?  Well, if it's chomping them whole, then I have no idea, because I hate eating large chunks of peppers and wouldn't do it for all the gold in your Fort Knox, nor by the hairs of my chinny chin chin.  But I love finely diced, well cooked peppers in salsa and chile con queso and the like.  My tolerance there is... I'd probably say cayenne peppers.  Far hotter than silly jalapenos, not as hot as habaneros.  They're my favorite flavor of pepper as well.  Sad thing is that it's almost impossible (at least in the US) to find fresh cayennes.  You can only find dried or the powder.  Like, cayenne pepper, but not peppers.  It's a bummer because they're the best.  Only way to get 'em is to grow 'em yourself.  (And I have a friend who happens to do just that!  )

I've had ghost pepper hot sauce and was barely affected by it (meanwhile the other person who was having it was tearing up, turning red, and having a bunch of other reactions to the heat of it), so I'd say my tolerance is pretty high.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,669]

Pretty high considering that I can drink curry sauce like a beverage.

[Misty Shadow 7,869]

I had a pretty high tolerance when I was a kid, believe it or not. I used to eat habaneros and jalapenos all the time when I was little and try all sorts of hot sauces. Today though, I only have spicy food every once in a blue moon because I'm just not a big fan of it anymore. 

[Yoshi89 5,293]

I can handle habaneros, but I haven't had anything higher on the Scoville scale than that yet.

[Cash In 22,313]

I can tolerate a bit, but overall I'm not really into spicy food.

[Brony Number 42 10,069]

Higher than average, but not crazy. Jalepeño is bout the highest I like. I like them picked because the pickling reduces the heat.

[lomk 20,663]

I drench everything in Sriracha where appropriate. I wouldn't say that I have a high heat tolerance, but it's higher than most people I know. 

I guess when I go to Buffalo Wild Wings, the hottest I can tolerate is Hot, which is like their fourth hottest sauce. But I wouldn't go to a Thai restaurant and order something labeled "Adventurous."

But I'm also coming up on 30 and my gut is getting more sensitive. If I eat the wrong kind of hot sauce or if the sauce was too hot for my stomach, let's just say it lets me know.

I once downed a raw ghost pepper and a dehydrated Trinidad Scorpion and came out of it like, "Meh." 

That says it all right there.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,440]

I handled a Carolina reaper pretty good. I like spicy food. 

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

I'm assuming most people are familiar with the Scoville Scale, so with that in mind I can usually handle Habanero Chilis at most, which is a bit more than Jalapenos and Cayene on said scale. I have not tried anything above that, because I don't enjoy "So hot I want to vomit".

[Patty Thundersnow 4,163]

Extremely low. I can barely handle jalapenos.

I love hot/spicy food. I used to put Ghost pepper sauce and Mad Dog on my food and it was great. It left a little burning glow somewhere down in my midsection but it was worth it. The pain made everything seem better somehow, don’t ask me why. I have a high tolerance for heat, which seems odd because most of my family won’t touch anything spicy (even mustard!!)

We need to talk about this, Dreamy love.

[Astralshy 26,656]

I'm not good with spicy food. I use some pepper and other spices but nothing which would worth mentioning.

[Flying Pencil 3,024]

I'm not very good at spicy food.
