To what purpose? Why are people so enthralled in creating inedible and poisonous peppers?

I like hot. At this moment Rao’s spaghetti sauce with plenty of crushed red peppers. I always have fresh jalapeños. But even habaneros are ridiculous

The guy has a pepper business. (“Puckerbutt” lol). This no doubt gets him recognition and sales.

I love hot food, but there's definitely a lot of stupidity associated with it. In the UK it's a badge of honour to eat a curry that is so hot it's essentially inedible.

The Phall, which is supposed to be the hottest curry, originated in Birmingham rather than India or Pakistan. Somebody I know once bought one for this customer from Texas who'd been boasting about how spicy their food was. He didn't finish it.

I enjoy spicy as well. But, there is a point where if it becomes unpleasant, despite all the post-injection endorphins, you have to wonder...

Eating should be pleasant, not a challenge.

@George-K @Doctor-Phibes I agree. I had a curry one time that was so hot that after about 2 bites, I could not taste anything. Was not a good meal.

So you are phond of phallic curry. Okay.

Speaking of curry, if you ever want to piss off an Indian, remind educate them that chilis came from South America and are a relatively recent import into Indian culture. I have had several experiences where they get angry at the suggestion, until they google a bit.

In honor of Larry, I'll say dot, not feather.
