Did you ever want to play questions?

Ever had straight up fermented habanero salsa? Nothing but habaneros, salt, and yeast?

(That four ounce cup a decade ago made me hallucinate and see God. It honest to FSM made me feel more drunk than alcohol ever has.)

How do people even deal with Bhuts, ghosts, Trinidadā€™s, and the like? Sure one pepper for ten gallons of soup, but then you donā€™t taste the pepper? Surely a few habaneros and a shit ton of pasilla or poblanos tastes better?

Isnā€™t that like Buffalo Wild Wings? Their spiciest sauce is just a miserable, painful experience, but their next two are actually quite good*, because they bother with flavour as well as just heat?

*Yes, for a chain restaurant, okay?

Near Great America? In Santa Clara? You got your spice on there? Do tell?

Donā€™t the habs and Trinidads have distinctive flavors? While Iā€™m not one to go for all out Scoville units, do ghost peppers not have a unique flavor as well?

Would you believe there are many? Is it surprising that it is harder to find spicy food in the middle of the country, but not impossible? When asked how spicy you want the food prepared, does it not help to reference the origin of the cuisine? (Iā€™m serious here. Iā€™ve been asked mild, medium, or hot in Thai restaurants and not had good results until I said: ā€œThai hot. seriously.ā€) Let it be noted I broke with question format. Yes throw me a Sutherland.

Edited to add: Youā€™re not going to get much out of calling them curry houses or not knowing the names of the dishes either if you are going for Indian food.

Do you look overwhelmingly white?

Arenā€™t you the last person to be asking that sort of thing?

Isnā€™t Tyler Perry in GA?

Didnā€™t she write a song about this?

Probably?

Did you go to a restaurant which has become accustomed to the U.S. palate?

Did you know that habanero (in a quinoa dish I make) was the pepper to finally convince my supertaster that maybe very spicy dishes arenā€™t so bad after all?

Sure, but considering how little you have to use, even for a hot head like me arenā€™t they like a broken pencil? (Pointless?)

ā€œChemical Weaponā€, or ā€œListen, youā€™re going to bring it to me, Iā€™m going to taste it and hand it right back to you and ask for more spicy. Then that will happen, like, two or three more times, then eventually Iā€™ll leave it here and never come back. Hotter than that by about 10 times, please, ok?ā€

In the proper dosage, donā€™t they taste amazing?

Wasnā€™t this morning a great time to visit a botanical garden?

It was also a good day to go printer shopping some some definitions of ā€˜goodā€™ā€¦ Does anyone else here hate consumer grade inkjets?

Lots of people in Georgia maybe? Isnā€™t he buying Fort McPherson (sp?) here soon to build a studio? Also, isnā€™t there another, unrelated studio going up on the north side of town? Arenā€™t we like a new Hollywood down here?
