I think I am addicted to spicy peppers...

Post Reply New Topic

I just love that spicy burning sensation of my body thinking my mouth litterally has a fire in it, so sending all kind of brain chemicals to stop the fake pain...that the peppers cause as a defense mechanism. (mini nerd rant, birds don't react to the spicy chemical in peppers as they pass the seeds better in their poo to drop and grow in other places, but mammals are more likely to chew up the seeds if they eat a pepper so yeah birds don't even get that burning sensation from peppers, its specifically a thing that causes it for mammals but not birds, humans are mammals so we can feel the spicy, but birds can't. The weird part is is for a lot of mammals that spicyness makes them not want to eat the pepper, but in us humans some of us are like 'ohh but I like the burn that feels like a fire in my mouth' so like we are the only mammals that are so crazy to enjoy it) end of rant thing anyways, for people like me who like spicy peppers their defense mechanism is almost a downfall because I want to try all the most spicy peppers not avoid them. BUt it is just funny they evoloved so a mammal like me would not like their fruit yet for some reason people have come to like the spicy flavor. And even try to cultivate even more spicy peppers than already exist.

I also like them.They are pretty plants and so many kinds, all colors , shapes and flavors from mild to wild.
People that have parrots will give them dried peppers as a food supplement.I give some to my hens for a treat.
My favorite is the Serrano, really good pickled.The leaves are different from most peppers , sort of fuzzy and smaller.It helps them to conserve water.Then a small Thai one that burns like gasoline.It’s a small plant and covered in peppers, very cute and grows in a pot well.

I can handle pretty hot ones, but prefer more flavourful hot peppers and sauces vs. super hot burning can't taste anything for hours peppers.
