I know you said you don't like super spicy things, but ghost peppers are so sweet and delicious. They're almost fruity in a hard-to-define way.
But also I ate too many and puked once so keep that in mind!
That stuff actually burns me enough to make me kind of glow with happiness afterwards, wonderful actually. Feels like it cleans something out of the whole respiratory tract
Those are the endorphins! The brain gets confused and interprets it as a traumatic injury and floods the system.
I like the ghost pepper super spicyness for some reason, never had them by themselves so I guess I can't really compare whatever's going on in there that makes it feel different. It just burns the fucking hell out of you but it's very rich and earthy too. The only problem is actually hurts you inside a bit in the wrong combo.
Once I had something called lemon drop peppers and it was like that but not a health hazard.
Did some research, apparently those peppers are from Peru and they are commonly used to make ceviche.
