Do people *really* think Jalapeños are "hot?"

People with superior taste buds do

 

[Lyfer]

They're as hot as black pepper.

 

[MongGrel]

When freshly picked and raw I think they are.

Otherwise, average.

It depends on the pepper in my experience. Most of the time, japs give off a mild warmth. However, there have been some instances where merely cleaning the peppers out caused my eyes to water and threw me into a coughing fit.

They're highly variable. Some aren't hot at all, and others are pretty spicy. Not to the extent in the video, but they can be hot; especially to a midwesterner's palate. They consider salt, pepper, and onion highly spiced :^D

 

[amddude]

People in the midwest do.

 

[BoomerD]

While there are peppers that are MUCH hotter than jalapenos, for someone who doesn't eat "HOT" spicy foods, they can be nuclear hot.
Me, I LIKE jalapenos. I like the flavor of the pepper. The heat is just a side benefit. I don't care for the taste of the capsicum chinense species of peppers. To my taste buds, the various capsicum annuum peppers have a sweeter flavor.

To each his own.

Yeah, that doesn't mean what you think it does.


But yes, it really depends on the pepper and how tolerant the person eating it is.

I dunno...MAYBE it meant exactly what he meant...I know, for myself, I like a nice warm Jap...:whiste:

They only put off a mild warmth, though.

Is this an "I like spicy foods" circle jerk? Cool.

 

[JEDIYoda]

I like spicy women.....

 

[OutHouse]

Some are really hot, my plants last summer produced jalapeño peppers so hot that I could nearly eat

 

[Markbnj]

If you don't eat peppers much than jalapenos are hot.

 

[Mai72]

lol, I thought that read Japanese.

 

[yhelothar]

Raw jalapenos with seeds are pretty hot. It's obviously not the hottest thing around but it's still hot unless your tongue has some issues.

This thread decided my lunch today. I had three jalapeños left, so I fried them up with some Spam. That was better than the tofu surprise I had yesterday.

i used to think Tabasco was fiery, now i just suck it straight from the bottle.

i used to think Encona was fiery, now i just shred my roast chicken and pour the whole bottle on it.

life changes after Mad Dog.

 

[Imp]

Tobasco and that popular Asian red sauce aren't hot, but jalapenos, OMFG, destroy my tongue. Had a few wraps and burgers with them and had to take breaks to cool my tongue off. They'd probably be better if cut into smaller pieces.

I don't like spicy foods. I love jalapeños.

Correct. It TOTALLY depends on the pepper.

Some will fucking light your mouth up and give me instant hic-ups. I'm pretty good with spices, when I'm at a thai restaurant and they ask me how spicy I order 4 out of 5 at bare minimum. Same goes for chicken wing places. It can WIDELY vary.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Out of the four hot pepper plants I grow, jalapenos are the least hot.
