I eat ghost pepper sea salt. Apparently when it is manufactured the workers wear masks.
A little bit of it goes a long way in cooking. And don’t ever get it on your finger and touch your eyes.
Sounds good. I took one bite of a Ghost pepper and was hot for hours! I’ll try some of that ‘pepper salt’... TGIF
I had a friend from northern Canada who had never had a hot pepper. We picked some up at the local market and he was doing a pretty valiant job until he rubbed his eyes...puffed up like a blowfish and I felt bad!
The first time I used Jalapenos and chopped them, the fire got under my finger nails and hurt all night and into the next day.
That didn’t happen again - Jalapenos can be very inconsistent. If you buy a bunch at the grocery, one might be medium hot, and another super hot. If I’m using them in a dish for others, I taste a little bit of each one, to regulate how hot the dish is going to be.
