What if I offer you free Montreal bagel?
I would have to refuse that, sadly, because it is definitely not gluten-free. I would have to refuse anything I didn't know for certain to be gluten-free, even if it's free (as in speech) and free (as in beer).

Depends, does it have all the damn seeds on the outside?
You can have them without sesame seed if you don't like it
Edit: here's a picture

Is that like a Cleveland Steamer?

I think I destroyed my tongue. I don't really taste my Carolina Reaper powder anymore. At first I thought maybe it loses strength or degrades, but then I licked my lips and it felt like I'd just kissed Satan's butthole.

(after "thou shalt not refuse free food").
I will absolutely refuse free food. Half the time it's because I don't know what went in it, the other half of the time it's because I know what IS in it and it's something I don't like.
Would @Benjamin-Hall refuse free food if it had walnuts in it, I wonder?

How do you know how that would feel?
On second thought, I don't wanna know
-
@mott555 Welcome to the club.
Remember, though, your stomach's tolerance still isn't as high as your tongue's tolerance is.
-
@anotherusername My stomach's virtually indestructible. It's a little farther down the digestive tract where super-hot foods tend to cause me issues.
-
@mott555 It's a matter of quantity. Try putting a teaspoon of powdered reaper in something and I bet your stomach will be pretty unhappy with that decision.

No.

@HardwareGeek Last week I cooked up 1 lb. of ground beef and, in addition to the usual taco seasonings (garlic, onion, salt, chili powder, cumin), I put about a teaspoon and a half of reaper powder in it. Made a nice taco salad.
edit: it was 5 days ago, when I posted the picture of the empty reaper containers. That's what I used the last of the container on. I thought there was about a teaspoon or so, but it ended up being a very heaping and overflowing teaspoon, so I decided I'd just put the rest of it in and see what happened.

Possibly, but you'd be surprised. For example (and for TMI), to my memory I've only vomited three times in my entire life. Once was as a toddler (or younger, not sure, but I do remember it). The other two times were in my early 20's after drinking far too much alcohol. Bad food/etc has very little effect on me.
-
@mott555 Seriously, you should try it and let me know how it goes for you.
-

I do not think that word means what you think it means.
-
@HardwareGeek well I did have to wipe snot off my upper lip in between bites, but other than that.

@HardwareGeek pfff, I know you have kids. A little bit of mucous shouldn't faze you...

@anotherusername They're adults now and deal with their own mucus.

Yeah, I'm having to take Esomeprazole daily now. But I'll be damned if if I'm giving up the hot stuff and coffee like the doctor suggested. Just a consequence of getting older I guess.
-
@Cursorkeys My gastroenterologist put me on Omeprazole. I'm not sure it makes a significant difference, but I'm a lot more careful about what I put in my stomach now, for multiple reasons. That stuff is not on the list.

If my doctor suggested I give up coffee, I would laugh out loud

My doctor knows better than to even suggest such a thing.

While I may enjoy the hell out of some hotwings, I'll just stay the hell away from anything to do with Carolina Reapers, thankyouverymuch. I like my spicy foods to have flavor, not just fire.

Hey, carolina reapers have great flavor.
If you can taste them.
-
@anotherusername said in The Cooking Thread:

TIL, burning is a flavor
-
@TimeBandit I'd be surprised if, say, burning natural gas, propane, butane, kerosene, gasoline, diesel, and acetylene didn't all have distinct flavors — while you have taste buds to taste them.

Delicious, but about twice as hot as I'm comfortable with. It's delicious, but violent. Made 2x the recipe so I have a lot of left overs:
Edit: The ginger amounts seemed excessive but they were just right. Maybe 25% less yogurt though.
-
@Cursorkeys you should try Chef John's Tikka Masala recipe and then pump the heat up to taste with sambal or chili garlic paste.
-
Today's lunch was super-basic ham-and-swiss sandwiches with a liberal sprinkling of Carolina Reaper powder on them. In the past, that amount of Reaper powder would have left me crying and curled up in a fetal position, feeling like I'd just tried to vape from a lit oxyacetylene torch nozzle. Now, it's only a little hot.

You had a nice assortment of hot pepper powders there. How much of them did you use?

I used 2 teaspoons in total. One of Bhut Jolokia, and half each of the Scorpion and the Habanano. I find the scorpion tastes too 'green', so I wanted the fruitiness of the habaneno to balance it out.
I put a dollop of cayenne in too, for colour mostly.

Lunch today was leftover homemade pizza. It already had a sprinkling of Carolina Reaper powder underneath the toppings, but I sprinkled a little bit more on top because I wanted it to be spicy.
-
@anotherusername Nope thread is
-
@mott555 I take it your idea of "a liberal sprinkling of Carolina Reaper powder" is quite different from mine, then.
-
@anotherusername That pizza has at least four times more powder than I'd use.

@HardwareGeek I'm not really sure what that's supposed to mean, but I think it's rendering incorrectly for me.
-
@mott555 It's rendering better for you that it does with whatever font Chrome is using on my machine.
It's the cardinality of the set of natural numbers, i.e., one of the smaller versions of ∞.
-
@HardwareGeek said in The Cooking Thread:

It's the smallest isn't it?
-
@Jaloopa I believe so, yes, but number theory isn't my strong suit.
