[@matthewgilfus1640]

What you were saying at the end of the video is an experiment that was going around in the 90's in America. People noticed that exchange students would go home for the holidays back to Asia and couldn't eat their parents' cooking. They looked into capsaicin and found that chemical in the blood that makes you resistant to the spice and heat. They decided to experiment and see if that's what also lowered blood pressure and fought heart disease because Asians are notorious for having amazing blood pressure and almost no heart disease compared to the rest of the world. They eventually started doing clinical trials with what they figured out. Strangely, about half of the men in the study noticed a side effect. They were able to "turn back time" about half an hour after taking their dose. And that's where Viagra came from!

@@ChefJamesMakinsonI think this was the first time I was afraid Nephew Nigel couldn’t keep Uncle Roger from being out for blood. He looked ready to kill both Joshua and Esther for bringing back bad memories of Auntie Helen and her heinous infidelity.

[@Shampaggin]

Fun fact: sichuan peppercorns don't register on the tongue as heat. It works sort of the same, but what the tongue actually detects is motion - specifically, vibration. It's what gives them their numbing effect. Very fun addition, and numbing is half of the major flavor profile of Sichuan food. 🤤

[@skibidi.G]

I went and bought some, feels like electricity lolol

[@Drew-Dastardly]

I remember Sichuan peppercorns being illegal in the USA. Being a Brit I could buy them from Chinese supermarkets and use them to make a pretty good Peking Duck. When I mixed them with hot chilli I found the combination of numbing and heating so bizarre it made me kind of sick.

[@sashazahradnikova7701]

for me it still registers as pain. not sure if heat pain or tingly pain. just hurt.

[@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808]

So true!

[@TheImmilky]

It depends on a person and their receptors.

[@user-cr8nz5su1u]

I think I’ve seen several people use Joshua’s kitchen. Don’t feel bad. Yours shows what is real and what many people have to work with in real life. I imagine it’s tough with filming sometimes, it’s in many ways better because it shows what someone can make regardless of their kitchen size. Remember too he stated videos in a cabinet. :) It is a gorgeous kitchen though and I’d love to cook in it.

[@Vladimir_Kv]

21:25 Milk specifically contains casein which bonds with capsaicin, taking it further into the digestive tract from your sensitive mouth. Other good things are: cold to numb the heat, sugar to cover the feeling of heat with a dopamine rush, acidity which counters the heat. Empirically, the Food Theory channel came out with perfect heat neutralizers: either a *milk shake with acidic flavour* - lime, berry, etc; or a slightly melted *lime cream pie.*

[@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307]

Another Effective Cure is Bread as it will act like a sponge and Absorb the Capsaicin and take it down to your stomach. As for the Milk cure it's more effective with a higher fat content as well. or you can just suck on an Ice cube which will Numb the pain. I have tried the food theory cures myself and they just seem too much work. i am going to reach for my Milk and bread

[@Tundracomm]

You and Uncle Roger combo videos are literally the best. Informative and hilarious and you play so well off his original reviews. I found you through his channel and I'm definitely a fan of yours now. Very educated chef and also funny 🤣

[@user-gh5zk8er5h]

9:22 TIP!! Don't drink the milk immediately, leave it in your mouth as long as you can, swallow it 'n do that again few more times. Milk naturalized the burn 'n the burning feeling in your mouth will disappear after a few sips 😃😃

[@Kraschenkov]

I'm from Eastern Europe and hot food isn't common around here but I absolutely love it. My father and uncles are typical Asian uncles when it comes to hot food and I gew up eating lots of chilis and garlic. Been growing my own Scotch Bonnet peppers for a year now

[@cedainty]

Many years ago, my husband was being "courted" by an Indonesian valve company. Their salesmen took us out to dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. They also brought some Asian peppers with them. My husband does not like peppers, but he was brave enough to try a couple. It was a quick test, lol. I tried one about 1.5 inches long, very skinny, and dark green. It did not burn my tongue. What I felt, however, was very strange-- suddenly, the back of my scalp felt like it was shrinking! The sensation lasted a long time. Never could figure out what kind of peppers they were.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

sounds very spicy!

[@kuldeepaurya9178]

Sounds like just a Indian type green chilli

[@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307]

I saw a scientist recommended drinking lemonade to placate the spiciness. The capsaicin is basic thus, acidic drink can help. Fun fact, only mammal has the receptor to feel the heat of capsaicin.

[@renaissanceman8687]

The ‘trick’ with spicey food is for it to be ‘too hot’ in the last spoon/fork full, so it slowly builds until the last mouthful. My tolerance is about ‘medium’ and my favourite is to add about a teaspoon of Chilli flakes to tomato soup before cooking it. Slow build on the spice cutting through the creaminess of the soup 🧑‍🍳

[@tamarapetersen3779]

Love spicy food!❤ I have a fairly high tolerance for the heat. My go to chillies are habeneros or birdseyes.

It can't get hot enough for me. I make my own hot sauce with chili, which I only grow from seeds that come from the countries of origin. Store-bought seeds are not "original" enough for me :) At the moment, I am growing Habanero from Chile, Scorpion from Trinidad, Jalapeño from Mexico, and Scotch Bonnet from Ivory Coast. Can't wait for the first harvest.

I love spicy foods, most of the food I make has some element of spiciness to it. With that said, my favorite peppers are actually not that spicy (for my level of tolerance), those being Jalapenos, scotch bonnets, and Habaneros. I enjoy them more for their flavor than for their heat.

[@PhonePole68]

Poblanos and chipotle (the words smoked jalapeños were all I needed) along with Vietnamese red finger…the green ones are overpowering sometimes. I razor blade scotch bonnets for my ceviche.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thanks for watching!

[@Emielio1]

Great vid again man :) And to answer your question at the start: I absolutely love spicy food. I'm around the habanero/Madam Jeanette/Scotch bonnet level now (100000-350000 Scoville) but I want to get up to ghost peppers. I recently made a delicious, authentic Laotian thum mak hoong (their version of papaya salad) and I put in about 6 bird's eye chillies. Next time I'll put in 10, then 15. 15 seems like an acceptable number of chillies for an authentic thum mak hoong 😊 Also: what you said about the flavour profiles of different peppers is absolutely correct! I always combine 5 or 6 types of chiles in my Mexican dishes to get the flavours I want :)

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you! I used to grow peppers at home I would like do to again as I can't get some here

[@komalshelke7263]

[@Boiokgogi]

i love spicy food. my current spice threshold is about habanero/scotchbonet ( 400 000 to 800 000 scovil ) highter than that its getting too spicy for me to be really enjoying the food. Sadly my spouse cant take any spice heat at all... if i even use too much black pepper she will find it spicy(hot) XD so its hard to keep or improve my spice tolerance. also rather than drinking milk try drinking something very acidic like lemonade or (real) orange juice or pineapple juice. cause while Capsaicin is soluble in fat , acid neutralize it instead.

[@neilpickup237]

I think that some people are more interested in the challenge than the enjoyment. I had Indian neighbours (I worked with the husband), and his wife was an absolutely fantastic cook. Unfortunately for him, he had a rather low tolerance for spice, something which his wife was able to compensate for brilliantly. I was able to appreciate the depth and complexity of flavour without it being overpowered. As for my own tollerance (which was actually higher than his), on the typical three chilli rating, you see on quite a few menus, I really don't like to go beyond a two. I don't really enjoy anything hotter than a Thai Green Curry.

[@charlieaguero-sanz-pn4jo]

Hello Chef! I do like spicy food, but I'm really turned off by spicy challenges. For reference, I can have food that it literally drowning in Tabasco sauce, I love the way that my lips tingle afterwards. On the other hand, I bought some Carolina Reaper sauce recently, and I am so glad that I tried just a drop, because it is way too hot for me. I now mix ONE DROP with mayonnaise to dilute it. The level of the sauce is still up in the neck of the bottle and the bottle will probably last for years!!! Keep up the good work, and I hope to see you doing collaborations in the future.

Hi Chef James; Another great video, as usual. This is a review from a guy who is so-oo-oo into non-spicy I will enjoy a plate of plain pasta with just butter and salt! To say: "I'm into taste and not pain" is kind of the understatement of the hour! I have even had the experience of being in an Indian restaurant, making that statement, and getting a roaring laugh from the server!!!! My friends say I'm missing out on some incredible flavors - that may be, but I don't consider myself a masochist or cowardice has the runs in my family, so to speak. John Shaw

LOVE spicey food, can even eat Samyang Buldak with just the non controlable reactions (runny nose, etc.) Actually love the taste and heat. I just kept increasing the heat levels over a decade to get used to it. What I do find is that as my tolerance increased I can taste the flavours of the different chillies as I'm not focused on the heat.

My problem generally with spicy food is that the flavor of the things that make it spicy is generally overpowering and not particularly good, like tasting dirt that hurts your tongue.

[@lmpeters]

In my experience, spicy food tends to fall into two categories: spicy food that is meant to taste good, and spicy food that is meant to show off your spice tolerance.

[@kohakuaiko]

I used to love spicy food. A couple years back I started dealing with acid reflux and had to cut back. It's a bit better now, but James isn't kidding. Your spice tolerance tanks after so long.

[@mormornie]

I'm a big fan of spice and Buldak ramen (and topokki), and I have tried the spice level of it from Carbonara Style (the cheesiness/creaminess in the powder added to the sauce really calms down the heat) to x3 Spicy, and my comfort level with spice is at x2 spice one x3 made my eyes watery, which never happened before, and I could taste how much bitterness there was from the capsaicine extract... but I might get a pack of it for the very utilitarian purpose of clearing congestion!

[@Anhenmelomania]

Finally) I already watched Uncle Roger video, but seeing your is always fun) Now I want some ice-cream with tabasco) Not sure how it would taste, but definitely better, than ice-cream with parmesan, olive oil and asparagus (combo from the famous local Chef, do not recommend😅) Interesting insight on milk and fat, as I always thought more about bacteria, we usually have yogurt or kefir as a way to help with spiciness. Now I can see why Korean way to add egg to tekkbokki works really nice) must be fat in the yolk) I consider myself "moderately ok" with spice, as I love to add cayenne pepper to everything, use gochujang quite often and can tell which sauce in supermarket is actually spicy, as I tried most of them and keep buying every time I see new ones, but I can only tell for sure after I visit some Asian countries)

[@x0rld159]

My mother used to sneak spicy peppers into supper and i actually had a super high tolerance. Had a major concussion and now have to rebuild my tolerance, so i put it at a low medium currently. Edit to add that I have always preferred being able to taste the flavour of the spices rather than just having heat

[@pdubb9754]

I recently had dried chilis dipped in dark chocolate. Quite good, but the heat could be unpredictable. Chocolate can help with heat. But really, cocoa powder is almost instant relief.

[@matityahubermanfalk3127]

When I make chili, I use about 2 and a half cups of beans, a similar amount of carrots, celery, and onion (all together, not each), and one or two Carolina Reapers depending on their size.

In india ghost peppers called Bhut Jholakia are pickled and used to make curries. Though chillies were introduced to india by the Portuguese early 15 th century through traders India now have its own native chillies called bydgi, gutur sannam, kashmiri, kanthari, salem gundu, mathania, bhut jholakia and jwala. They are indeed real hot ones. Before chillies were introduced it was long peppr called pippali and black pepper were used for heat along with spices and ginger garlic.

I'm not a chilli nut but I do like spice. Buldak 2x is a challenge for me but I have it sometimes. We have a local curry place that does a Vindaloo that is a bit past where I like it in terms of heat but tastes so amazng that I keep getting it. To quote my daughter "It burns so much but it tastes so good I can't stop eating it!!". That's chilli done right, where flavour > pain

I am always watching 🤗🤗🤗

Love the video's, but i prefer 1920x1080 above 4K. 4K just doesn't look natural to me. But it might be just me ...

I would also be carefull with pooring hot oil into a glass bowl. I had one break with just boiling water. And yes it was rated as heat resistant.

This beauty bowl is the classic Nissin Instant noodle cup from Japan, very special. Highly recommended to pay a visit to Tokyo’s nissin noodle museum.

I died at after eating 3/4th of the 3× spicy Buldak noodles. As an Indian, my spice level is not bad, but that day it was too much. 2× spicy one was OK. No problem at all!😊

despite not actually eating the ramen, uncle roger had the biggest heartburn of the three 😔

Thank you

Hi Chef James. Thank you so much for your content. As a (very) amateur cook, I have learned a lot! I love hot food but I totally agree. I'm not interested in eating something that seems like a contest. When it's so hot that you can't taste the other ingredients? That seems kind of pointless. Cheers mate.

[@elvickRULES]

I love spicy food, but I don't like when that's all you taste. As you said there's a balance, and when that's hit it's great.

[@Philipk65]

Great review there James and very entertaining. UR was really jealous there. Another thing I noticed that could have been bad was when Joshua poured the boiling oil into the glass bowl, which was sitting on the stone counter top. That could have caused the bowl to shatter, due to thermal shock. I do like spicy food and chilli in particular, my limit is habanero. Anything more is just plain masochism lol 😂.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Good point! haha

Chef James swears on camera… and no “Sorry Children!” 🤪🤣 Edit: This entire video has been less about food and more like a kdrama. 🤣 I am just LMAO. 😅🌶️
