To the right you see a habanero pepper, 100-350 K Scoville units (Jalapeno is 2.5-8 K). I can eat 2 habeneros in one sitting and enjoy it. And what does not kill you can cure cancer. Hot dog!

I love Thai peppers for their "fresh" flavor. The very hottest of these (according to the Scoville scale) overlap with the mildest of the Habenero. The Thai is spicy enough and slight enough that unlike the Serrano it never feels like you are a munching on a salad. My own particular favorite are…

Just because you we born with fewer Capsaicin receptors than the rest of us doesn't make you more manly than we normally endowed folk...
It's one thing to get them down. It's when they re-emerge that they're at their most painful.
I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! I can handle green Thai, but I have not yet been able to conquer the habanero. But Wilkins is right: it's like being born a genius and then bragging about your GRE scores. Grrrr.
Oh, you mean your other right!

What would really be convenient for these purposes would be insensitivity to lactobaccillus. Oh yeah, I went there.
