Hey there cheese lovers, please tell me about your favorite spicy cheese!
And perhaps recommend something for me to try. I would consider pepperjack to be mild, if you know of something in the medium range, let me know. Thanks!
Anyone try them yet?
I love eating very hot peppers raw but the stomach pain that follows about an hour after eating them is pretty intense. Anything I can do to prevent this before eating them or something I can do after? Other than milk?
I always keep a bottle in the house for a throwback to the hot sauce spice and flavor of early childhood.
A few years back I had an abundance of homegrown peppers so I dried them all then ground into powder. I have individual jars of jalapeno, serrano, habanero, ancho, hatch, ghost, and a few more.
I've been eating on them for a year or so now, but there's so much I'm barely making a dent. Looking for any interesting way y'all use pepper powder, or (hopefully) a cool way to use a bunch at once? I was thinking rehydrate a bunch and then ferment the paste into hot sauce, but I'm not sure how feasible that is and I don't want to waste much if it's meh.

I’ve tried a lot of Melinda’s recently due to the hype on this sub but these two have a good kick but taste really good.
I absolutely loved all the Yellowbird hot sauces, I've tried (especially the Habanero!), but could not find the Ghost Pepper sauce anywhere near me locally- had to order a bottle to try it.
Same thing with the few Marie Sharps Sauces I've tried (Orginal, Green Habanero, Belizean Heat, and Beware). Had to try a few others so, added these 2 to an order, that I never see at the local stores.
Who's had any of these sauces? I'm hoping they wont disappoint me...
I can't get enough of Wing Master from Pepper Palace
I feel like this has been posted before but this is my absolute favorite bottled hot sauce. Anyone else?
This stuff has been hard to find in my area, Finally found a lone one hiding at the back of a shelf in Grocery Outlet.
The cafeteria at my work has a bowl of chili crisp that they refill that has become my favorite, but I have no clue what brand it is! I know it’s a long shot, but maybe someone can identify it? It’s very spicy, has a good crunch, and not too umami. definitely not LGM, Trader Joe’s, or S&B.
Thanks in advance!
I hadn't had either before today. Just had a spoonful of each. The Mango Habanero was sweeter than I expected. The Black Truffle was richer than I expected. Neither is a scorcher (as indicated on the labels), but both are quite flavorful. Looking forward to trying these with our dinners this weekend.
Forgot to pick up some hot sauce on my grocery store trip… didn’t want to make a trip back to the grocery store… so walked to the 1 isle African grocery store right by me.
Glad I did. Akabanga oil is delicious, and has that lingering, building, spice that I’m sure a lot of us love. Made an egg and cheese sandwich with the stuff, and am left in a place of spicy bliss. Grab it if you get the chance!
I grew up in a midwestern white bread home where seasoning consisted of a pinch of salt or fine ground black pepper. Wasn’t until my 20’s when I started liking spice. I gradually stepped up to truly enjoying habaneros, not just ‘being able to handle them.”
When I try hotter peppers they just seem SO much hotter. Is there anything between a habanero and say a ghost pepper? I really can’t handle them at all, and frankly don’t enjoy the flavor very much.
I should note, I’m looking for peppers and not sauces. Thanks in advance 😊
Hello, new to new york city. Okay so here's the name of the spot: "Dave's Not Chicken". Obviously it's a spin on the standard Dave's Hot Chicken. I passed by this earlier this month, and I've since been looking for it incessantly but to no avail... Anyone know the correct address for it?
I guess I've never really said that I like ghost peppers and reapers, just "Make it spicier than you've ever made it" or "World record level spicy" it's always super underwhelming. EDIT: I forgot that Bobby wings from Wings are the spiciest restaurant food I've had but still not enough so anything spicier than that is what I'm looking for. And carrying my own spice is no issue, I normally carry a bottle of mild hot sauce that I had pure capsaicin to just jack the shit out of the heat. Also I'm acting like I'm not on week 2 out of a 4 week break from spice so whose knows, maybe all these places will start kicking my ass when I come back. EDIT #2 Bruh what the fuck am I on? Taco Del Mar literally has Franks Scorpion sauce which is the hottest out of the box sauce I've ever had by a long shot, if I add too much I gotta take a minute to let my mouth cool down. I guess they win in terms of heat but I'm looking for a place that uses their own signature heat not just Frank's or a sauce they bought at the store
