Spicy Take: Peppers hotter than habanero are too spicy, and their main purpose is to be used as a pissing contest for who can eat the spiciest food.

@JessTheUnstill it is very spicy.

@JessTheUnstill scowls at the pun

@FuturisticRobert @401matthall @JessTheUnstill mmmm yep.

@JessTheUnstill On the one hand, ghost peppers are delicious.

On the other hand, the piece I ate that was small enough for me to taste it without it overloading my spice tolerance was a square roughly 2mm on a side. Also the flavor was basically habanero anyway.

@401matthall @JessTheUnstill As someone with an unnatural tolerance for spicy food, I’m going to disagree. I do love my very spicy peppers, and i can definitely taste them. But I’m also aware that I’m in a minority.

If you can taste it, rock on.

Also... No one actually has to justify their food preferences to _me_.

_I_ stop increasing the Scovilles when I can't taste the difference between the last one and the current one.

@FuturisticRobert No point. It's just a spicy take about spiciness.

@401matthall Fair, although it’s not even about scovilles. I’ve never been interested in spice just for spice sake, but I find extremely spicy peppers very tasty. But I’m totally not interested in those capsaicin concentrates for instance.

I hope you feel good about yourself.

Starting all this non-contentious discussion about peppers on the interwebs.

What're the interwebs even for anymore?
