I question the choice of sauce bottle. That's clearly sriracha, and as someone who doesn't consider themselves a hot sauce person, it's not hot, it just contains chillies. I don't think anyone who goes back for seconds after melting their face would melt their face with sriracha.
I’m not too ashamed to admit that siracha will make me feel pain. I do not find the pain from spicy enjoyable tho
I think that's the difference. Someone who does enjoy it will quickly build a tolerance to that level of spice.
My cousin once drank from a Sriracha sauce bottle like it was a water bottle because he enjoyed the flavour that much. He regretted it when he realized that his mouth had built more tolerance than his other end, though.
How does one build up a tolerance on the other end?
Spicy enemas. Or by regularly consuming so much spice that some makes it to that end, since binding to a heat receptor uses it up, as I understand it.
Different people have different levels of heat resistance. My dad will abort mission, if you shake the pepper shaker more than once. Obviously, he doesn't have it in him to go back for seconds. I do, but having grown up in that household, it takes a while for the same heat resistance to build up. I bought sriracha for the first time a few months ago, and you could certainly still melt my face off with it, despite me using it again and again.
My parents think a jalapeno-based sauce will kill you, and they refuse to believe there even exists anything hotter than that.
I'm SEA-n but relatively speaking I'm on the lower end of the ladder heat resistant-wise.
I was so excited when I could finally buy Jalapeno in my country cuz I wanna make Poppers. When I bit a raw one my reaction was "my dude, this is a tomato", my western media fooled me into thinking it's the hottest thing ever.
Then I found out about the Scoville unit and realized the Silling Labuyo we raw-dogging daily is order of magnitude hotter lol. Jalapeno actually tastes great though.
Absolutely. A very nice chili for sweetness.
Last time my parents visited us my mum had some smoked jalapeno sauce because “it looked like we were enjoying it so much”, and afterwards she thought we were trying to kill her.
My dad just said something like “no thank you, I’ve seen people eat those things on the footy show. Stupid.”
Some people say that peperroni pizza is too hot for them.
This mayonnaise is spicy.
Had the same thought. Kinda ruined effect for me
Yeah this isn’t even gatekeeping spiciness. He might as well be using a ketchup bottle
I'm convinced Sriracha is different in different places. Obviously, different brands have varied heat but the classic one available worldwide is definitely hot, it's not extreme but definitely hot. I wouldn't call myself a hot sauce person either but I do enjoy hot foods and condiments, I'd say about average on heat sensitivity. I know several people who just can't have Sriracha because it's too hot for them, and it's easy to make something too hot with a lot of it IMO.
Their might be ghost pepper Sriracha? But yeah, normal Sriracha is a sweet pepper sauce, not a hot sauce.
