What is this? A stuffed crust commercial? Who eats pizza from the outside in? The reaper will completely mar your capability to taste the other layers of hell’!

I feel like the pizza itself should be arranged the other way around, with the hottest on the outside and the mildest toward the center, so that the more you eat the more pain you experience. Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

However, that would ruin the Inferno reference.

On the other hand if you arrange it the other way around you get more of the spicier stuff.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago

That's the definition of tragedy: a great pizza ruined by literalism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

You would be surprised. I have met such people. In specific circumstances, such as stuffed crust, I will occasionally eat pizza crust first.

Last year I planted some pepper plants, jalapeno and (what I thought was) jabanero. The peppers on one of the jabanero plants had these tiny little bumps on them and they eventually turned red instead of the usual orange of the jabaneros. When I ate the red bumpy ones, it wasn't so much that they were hot as it felt like I'd just been punched hard in the lips. I thought that they were just some kind of weird mutation, but it turns out they were actually Carolina Reapers that had been mislabeled at the plant store. I like hot food, but that shit was too much for me.

Those are ROUGH. My pug ate some heritage seed peppers called Royal Black. He found them to his liking.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

I take offense that hatch green chiles are claimed to be less spicy than jalapeños. Also, habañeros are pretty often not that spicy, though plenty of them are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 minutes ago

*Habanero. No tilde on the n.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Supermarket jalapeños these days are really lacking in heat- I’ve done zero research on this but 15, 20 years ago they had much more of a kick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 34 minutes ago

5 years ago jalapeños packed more heat. I’ve been trying to pick a different pepper but my grocery does not stock many spicy peppers reliably

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

There was a booth on a Rotterdam market named "Spice Girl". They sold a number of interesting things like the chili oil we are using (very carefully, and we are used to hot food!), and the pickled gherkins - with a habanero in the jar. Absolutely recommendable. Sadly, they no longer run that booth, as they have gone online.

Peppers should be reversed, hottest to the outside edge

Unless you eat pizza like this moron

[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Who is that guy? What dumb idiot, eating pizza like that. Luckily the American people would never elect such stupid dumb idiot like whoever that guy is.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

He's probably not from new york. I heard you can get lynched if you eat pizza like that in new york

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 minutes ago

Sadly, that's not the case.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll bet he is stupid enough to look directly at the sun!

Obviously no one would vote for that guy. What would the other countries think?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

He looks so dumb, I bet he can’t even spell “coffee.”

Firstly, that guy looks like a fuckin idiot eating pizza like that. Second, the ninth circle is frozen over in Dante's bible fanfic, so idk maybe by that logic this is the right pepper order?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I suspect that's from when stuffed crust pizzas started becoming a thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, but they picked this moron because he already ate pizza that way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Plus the ninth ring is in the middle, so it makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

the ninth circle is frozen over in Dante's bible fanfic, so idk maybe by that logic this is the right pepper order?

No. In Dante's inferno, the point of the book is that the circles of hell get worse each increasing level.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Yeah its frozen helplessness of the powerful who've betrayed friends at the center. Just outside it's people being boiled in oil

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think there's a missed chance to have mint and other "cooling" herbs on the outer rim

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Oh gods, the whiplash of something like that might be so much worse than anything else, I approve.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

It's actually harmful for dog's kidneys to eat peppers, onions, garlic, or mustard.

It's basically fatal if they eat grapes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 43 seconds ago

It’s basically fatal if they eat grapes.

Potentially fatal. My dog ate a whole bunch of grapes my wife foolishly left unattended for half a minute. We took her (the dog) to the emergency vets, they gave her an emetic, that didn't work on her, and she returned home the next day as if nothing had happened. The vets accomplished nothing but the bill was still outrageous.

Where do you see that for peppers? Google tells me bell peppers are fine for dogs but spicy peppers will upset their stomachs. The rest, sure

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 minutes ago

I didn't find any studies for it with a quick browse so you can feel free to dismiss my claim, but in general you shouldn't feed carnivores any hard to digest plants.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Don't forget to mention what xylitol does to dogs.
Small amounts of arund 2 g per 10 kg body weight are very likely lethal within a short time if not treated instantly.
Xylitol can be in sugar free candy or chewing gum potentially making one piece of them a lethal dose for small dogs.

And chocolate.

My dear friend has some pot plants.

Her dog discovered pot accidentally.

Then her dog discovered pot intentionally.

Then her dog discovered pot aggressively.

Now she has a greenhouse, and her dog is on a programme.

If going by the book, the very center should be mint.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago

Truly an Italian hell. Mint on pizza.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

Japanese mint oil. I believe that would be a very interesting experience.

Did he enjoy the experience, even if short-lived, of being able to breathe through his nose?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago

I took him in as a stray foster dog who had been found on the street. I've spent thousands on his care. I don't claim they're healthy at all, but he's a delightful pet and I'm nursing him through his very geriatric years. I absolutely love him and he was a hilarious monkey back in his younger years. I'm just reminiscing on his funny days because he's having bad days lately.

Shouldn't there be seven hot peppers?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

There almost are. 7 hot peppers, bell pepper, and poblano

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Ahh yes. 7 is almost 9. Understood.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Curse my inability to proof read after multiple edits! 😋

Wait until you try Dante’s DiGiorno Giovanna ! It traps you in a time loop where you eat it over and over again, forever. Simply delightful !
