(Yes you heard right, the man had never tasted a burrito in his life) Now, my Dad's so crazy about spicy foods, he eats Tabasco with EVERYTHING. I'm actually starting to get concerned.

[@LocalSinkPisser]

Ahhh yes the power of Mexican food

[@DavidRichardson153]

It's kind of the opposite for me. I'm half-Mexican, and I cannot stand Mexican food. In fairness, you can partially blame my Mexican relatives for that. They just never go light on the cilantro - always heavy with it. The other part of the blame goes to the Mexican food options that were around us; they all tasted like they were marinated in Tabasco. Now, even when I only look at Mexican food, I get nausea. While I can still handle some hot and spicy, heat does not equate to flavor for me. Thus, I prefer anything light on hot spicing, which makes me mainly go with Mediterranean. I am trying to coax myself into eating Mexican food by trying my hand at making my own, but...let's just say that progress has not been made so far.

Now, I am one of those with the gene that makes me find alcoholic drinks absolutely repulsive regardless of how much or how little of them I consume, but the one for cilantro, I don't think I have that.

FYI, the reason that ice cream is so hot is that both of the sauces @25:33 use "hot pepper extract", basically pure capsaicin. I look on both of their websites, and it is listed in the ingredients.

[@KevinZ.000]

@@DiamondDepthYT Yep, that is what "hot pepper extract" is. Kinda of a cheat for hot sauces.

[@101falcon]

I didn't know "hot pepper extract" referred to pure capsaicin. I was reading the ingredients list on the back of my habanero oil bottle yesterday, as I was struggling to continue eating the food that I'd just put 3 drops too many of it on, when I saw that mentioned on the bottle and was wondering what chili it was referring to. It's definitely nice that I can essentially make anything spicy without altering the flavor but man one slip of the wrist and it's over. I usually have 3 drops for every serving of rice, which is just on the cusp of too spicy once it's done building but still pleasant, but I accidentally gave myself 6 and almost died.

[@Bigc-wc1cr]

Everything about this Ice Cream is true. Having done Cold Sweat and Exit Wound (Yes Freezer Burn is a way better name) I can say they do not compare to the last dab at all.

As someone who loves spicy food and key lime pie, I'm going to be eating more of both this upcoming year now.

[@alishahird897]

I have a feeling the reason the keylime pie worked so well, is because it uses sweetened condensed milk in the actual filling. The constanty of the condensed milk coats the tongue so much better than regular milk.

[@nealjroberts4050]

Lemon & Lime Roulade also uses condensed milk plus cream cheese so double whammy?

I think one Food Theory idea that could connect with a lot of people, maybe parents especially: What causes people to be picky eaters, and what are the best ways for those kinds of people to overcome that limitation to their palettes?

[@raisa936]

This is a GREAT idea

[@kalibuskristof2174]

Having the money to decide what you will and won't eat is probably a factor.

[@aff77141]

Some of it is definitely based in neurodivergence (causes people to be literally sick from certain textures), undetected allergies, and I imagine the rest is mostly fear of the unknown + comfort of the familiar, or at least it was for me. Anything that had an odd smell, appearance, texture, or taste immediately made me anxious about even trying it, even if I figured I might like it by one or multiple other compounds. Main things that helped were, as long as it was on my own terms, trying combination foods without knowing what was in them, like sauces with mayo or sandwiches with an unfamiliar meat, or trying it little by little and getting used to it almost as a snack like snack pickles and restaurant appetizers (takes the pressure off of 'who's going to eat this if it makes me gag).

[@aff77141]

​@@kalibuskristof2174 "Only rich people have dietary restrictions, allergies, and food they like/dislike"

[@dianaadamo5574]

In my neuropsychology class, we discussed that habituation (repeatedly encountering a food) is one of the best ways for picky eaters to overcome their distaste for it. Now, you don't want to give a kid a plate full of broccoli because then you may get super stressed, but having one bite once a week for 10 weeks is usually enough to get used to it and then you can start to incorporate it more into one's diet. So, that's one method

[@yodaofborg9503]

I kind of figured that the nose plugs would work really well. My family and I noticed that when we had COVID and lost our taste and smell we had practically superhuman level spice tolerances lol. We normally love spicy food as it is but once we realize that it stopped burning all together we started testing and trying hotter and higher items to see if we can taste it and we could not.

[@elricengquist9989]

It might be that since like with the thickness an blanket like effect of the pie for helping to tamp out the heat normally, since the cold sweat is basically that yet pumped full of that compound it lingers coating your mouth. Add in that the ice-cream melts it washes that compound around your mouth as well as you eat it.

[@AfalseNotfalseQueen]

I still found it hard to believe that holding your nose would cancel the effects of the spice but today, as my sister's friend bought spicy chicken wings I decided to try it myself, I who has zero spice tolerance. And it worked PERFECTLY. I was shocked to say the least 😅

[@avery_is_here9054]

im guessing it's the classic answer. Your brain just cant receive any info about the food, not even the spiciness so those receptors aren't being activated or they simply are being ignored by the brain because it thinks we aren't eating something spicy but something dull

[@zenkim6709]

The same seems to hold true for highly pungent foods -- for example, authentic sweet & sour Chinese foods are so strong that, if you try to inhale while eating them, the intense flavor & odor will trigger a choke/gag reflex.

A way to further optimize the key lime pie would be to freeze it. That is actually how it is served in the Florida Keys according to my husband, who is from Florida. I have had it that way myself too, and surprisingly it is still easy to eat with a fork or spoon at a normal freezer temperature because of it's consistency. Looking forward to The Spicening next year!

Is anyone else surprised that they haven’t tried sour cream? I’ve used it before for ghost peppers and it completely neutralizes the heat. It also fits the dairy and acid categories. You have to keep eating it tho otherwise the heat comes back after 10-15 seconds.

Just like last year, I am saying VANILLA. Chemically pure vanilla extract. Chemically it is very similar to capsaicin and if used to higher concentrations can replace the capsaicin connection to the receptors on your tongue. A high concentrate vanilla milkshake compared to a chocolate one should show you the difference since I wouldn't recommend just drinking extract.
