    I've eaten bits of straight-up reaper that taste good because they're so strongly aromatic, and sauces that people ostensibly intended to taste good, but which taste like pool chemicals because it's full of capsaicin extract.

    Anyway, just chop/mash/powderize actual peppers instead of doing dumb chemist shit with them.

      Gnawed on a fresh Bird's Eye chili once, it was crisp with a satisfying snap to it. Also the roof of my mouth went numb for a while.

      I grow chilli plants and are too stupid to use gloves, and different parts can have remarkably different types of heat and flavour
