I daily use Torchbearer Garlic Reaper and Bertie’s Scorpion Pepper sauce. They don’t give me more than a low to moderate burn unless I completely cover my food in them. I was using the sauces on some Porto’s and then maybe 30 minutes later, I started cramping and threw up. I must’ve had a capsaicin overload or something, which is weird because I didn’t even use that much. I didn’t use the sauces on an empty stomach either. I had some of the Porto’s before using them. Maybe I didn’t eat enough before the sauces or I used more than I thought.

This is a really dumb question, but you know how when you touch something spicy and rub your eyes it will cause a burning sensation. Would it be possible to build a tolerance for this if you did it enough?

If you’re ever in the middle of nowhere lake county CA, pick this up. It’s the best spicy beef jerky I have EVER eaten. It’s sweet, spicy, and has a great texture. I’ve only bought one bag (out of 10+) that wasn’t great texture. Cost $10 and worth it. I buy them as a gift for family. They do have other flavors that are just as good.

Finished off the bottle but there were still remnants on the sides, so I mixed in vinegar and Sriracha... It lingers well enough... Then I mixed it with my habanero salsa (you can see the jar lol) so I'm gonna.. Enjoy tonight for sure

I really like putting ginger in my home made sauces, but I would love to know what ingredients elevate your favorite sauces?

So I found this hot sauce being sold at Jamaica inn, in Cornwall.

It’s 10/10 in flavour. Smokey, tomatoey and very flavoursome.

The heat is about a 6/10 for the stated chillies on the back, but never the less a hot sauce that will liven any dish.

Bought it yesterday and it’s already been in a curry and on a pizza.

Hello all. First time growing peppers (from store-bought seedlings), and they are finally starting to ripen, so I'm wondering what I have. The top photo (yellow) was unmarked, but I'm guessing habanero? The bottom photo (red) was labelled as ghost pepper, but I'm not convinced, as they are not "pointy" like the the ones I've seen before. (Sorry, no taste test yet!)

I thought this group would appreciate a picture of one of my pepper plants 😁

Just wanted to share. Have Ghost, Reapers, Scorpions, and Armageddon growing this year.
