I believe it's because the spicy stuff in wasabi and mustard is very volatile so it affects breath/nose/sinuses really heavily, while a capsaicin just dissolves in saliva so it relentlessly sticks around your tongue and throat. Maybe the pain tolerance is trained for local spots in the body, so a person thinks "I know this burn on my tongue no big deal", but then they panic when their nose starts flaring up from wasabi.

Being American, I’ve found that we tend to just use spiciness as like, a novelty thing. We make things hot for the sake of making them hot. Other cultures incorporate peppers into their food in ways that add to the flavor. It’s not just like, an overwhelming pain. They make something nice and tasty, with a little bit of a kick. I’m still not big on spicy foods for the most part, but I’ve learned to love a lot of Latin American and Indian dishes, because they use spice tastefully.

Don't get me started, that trend has came across here to the Netherlands. For context, here in the Netherlands we don't really have a culinary tradition of spicy food seeing as it doesn't grow here natively. The only spicy food we have comes from our former colonies, and the version most Dutch people are familiar with have little to no spice. As most of that food in it's original form is considered too hot for the average Dutch person (because again, zero spice tolerance). Most people here are dead scared of extremely spicy food or eat as a gimmick due to this American trend of "just super spicy". I like to cook and tend to grow my own food for it, so I decided to grow Dragon Breath peppers (somewhat hotter than Carolina Reapers, specifically cultivated as a form of anesthetic for people with an allergy to conventional anesthetics). I make fermented sauce from those peppers and literally every Dutch person that tried it loves it. The reasons are quite simple, firstly it's a very "flat" heat so it doesn't build up when you eat it which is the thing that pushes people not used to spice over the edge in most cases. It's probably "flat" probably because it's so incredibly hot but at the same time due to having put it into a eyedroplet bottle it being very managable to your own liking and secondly it has a really nice and weird fruity favour that isn't the typical "ohh boy it's sweet" as peppers are fruit and made the sauce so it enhanced the fruityness of the peppers. (Imagine tasting a bell pepper but sweeter and without the bitterness) Some people put a droplet on every nacho they eat, but for example my friend just this morning messaged me with "ohh boy that stuff is hot, I added 5 drops to a pot of tomato soup". Right now have people in my household using one bottle daily, a 30ml bottle is now half way in probably 3 months. So much of the "hot food" is hot for the sake of hot or used to mask otherwise bland food, this is even true for quite a bit of foreign food. Yet this is exactly what most people understand as being "hot food". But well made spicy food and sauces use spice like salt, they enhance existing flavours and don't mask them.

I can however handle sour, mainly because I cannot taste sour (fun fact, it's actually quite common because like spice the mechanism for taste is completely different to tastes like salt, sweet, bitter, and umami (not tasting any of these is rare)).

Being the ultimate northern-european, I've had no experience eating spicy food while growing up. A university friend pulling me through an evening at a Sichuanese restaurant far from my hometown opened me up to a world of taste further then the feeling of burning in the back of the throat opened me up to different styles of heat and spiciness. There are so many different experiences of feeling spice. The pleasant tintle upon the lips of exptremely well spiced food was an experience not placeable before, yet afterwards I was not able to see the pleasure of good spiced food without it. All I can say is continue, the way is difficult, yet the gains in taste and experience are stupendous.

I love how Melissa and Sabrina are like yin and yang, but both unhinged.

I remember when I got into spice first. My mom had gotten me ghost peppers while on a visit, and I decided to make a giant batch of chili con carne with them, and... it was the hottest thing I had ever eaten at the time. So I just had one bowl, then some hours later... I decided to get another bowl and it was still hot as hell but this time enjoyable, and then... I don't know I've been into spicy food ever since.

Oh wow! I love how Melissa is settling into a comfortable, inviting video format :) y'all are getting better and more awesome as this channel continues to grow!!

It is the hottest commercially available pepper. On Netflix, the show We Are the Champions, has an episode with a pepper eating contest run by the guy who developed that pepper. The contest STARTS with the Carolina Reaper. He has a bunch more that haven't been officially tested yet. When someone breaks his record by developing a hotter pepper, he gets the next one tested and takes the record back.

this is such a cool little experiment, it shows the human adaptability to situations and shows how our ancestors managed to survive in tough circumstances

For an additional reference point, pepper spray is about 1-3 million Scoville units, so that Carolina Reaper is literally non lethal weapons grade.

i guess one thing she didnt think to mention is where and when you get your peppers, as well as where they came from also can effect how much capsaicin is in there. that may be why she didnt feel the peppers the first day until the habanero... honestly was sure if it would be, but super interesting video

I'm a big spice fan. Almost anything I can add spice to I do. If a dish doesn't taste right, my first thought it to make it spicier. But I'm not the type of person who can handle these super spicy things. The level of spice I like, and the level of spice I can tollerate is definitely higher than average but pretty much anyone who actually likes spicy food is probably on my level or above. With that said, I still will subject myself to crazy amounts of spice at least once per year, usually with someone else. There's something to the experience of willingly putting yourself through that pain, knowing that it's safe and you'll be fine, especially with others. It can be a real bonding moment.

Lol

I remember this one time I got a pizza that accidentally had jalapenos on it (it was supposed to just have pepperoni). I figured I would just give it a try, and it actually turned out pretty well.

already know this is gonna be awesome!!!

Melissa is super admirable for even trying to do something and completely sticking to it.

answer in progress in a nutshell. starts popping off with an actual upload schedule. people think they’re finally gonna have a consistent upload schedule. they take a 5 year break. they make a random short that is just an ad. they have a terrible upload schedule. repeat.

When you say 5 year break, do you mean that in the sarcastic sense or have they actually taken a 5 year break before?

I love how this video is sponsored by a mattress company bc Melissa knows full well that she can abt gonna sleep for a long time after the Carolina reaper

it makes me genuinely happy that when she went back to spicy food she was like "oh, i GET it now!" any time someone comes to a new understanding about why people appreciate a thing, is a thing i appreciate

My dad always told me that eating spicy food is its own reward. It adds a different type of flavor to food like the chef said, it makes 0 scientific sense but it’s always been something I’ve believed in.

I feel like I'm missing the smart comments if I'm this early in an Answer in Progress video

Including mine, I must add

She handled the pepper better than anyone else has

10:30 was such a fantastic analogy, for describing spice it is probably #1. As analogies go in general, might also be #1.

loved this video ❤keep it up y'all

I totally expect that this video is the very end of Melissa

I do struggle with mild spices, but I will eat spicy food now and again. It's not my favorite, but it's a nice change of pace sometimes

Entertaining. Ending was funny. Good job.

Kudos for sticking through the challenge. So cool randomly finding local Toronto channel on KZread.

whered they go :,)

Wow, this was impressive. I hope you are able to enjoy some more of your cultural foods!

Thank you for this content AIP, you guys are entertaining AF

I simply adore this woman

this thumbnail is fire

#1. I'm glad I have some salsa waiting for me in my kitchen. #2. Growing up, I had very low spice tolerance. For a long time, I didn't even like pepper... like, the counterpart to salt kind of pepper. It was too spicy. In college, the dining hall had a soup available that smelled amazing, so I got some. I tasted it and it was spppppiiiicy. But also delicious. But so spicy. So I thought... what if I just accept the spice as it is and try to enjoy the dish? That was the beginning of my spice tolerance. When I visited my family again, we went to a Mexican restaurant and I got dared to eat a Serrano pepper. My parents were blown away when I took the dare.

As an international hot ones fan who cannot order the sauces because they're expensive this really helped answer a lot of the culinary questions I had about the sauces and also spice in general I have pretty good spice tolerance but props to you for just eating whole peppers

this gorl is crazy! I’m admiring Melissa even more 😂. I often try not to do spicy not because of the pain but of my incontrolable sweating..

I can’t even eat a taki normally 😭I can’t imagine eating a bunch of spicy things, especially the Carolina Reaper 😖

I can't imagine going to the toilet after eating all that 😭

idk i feel like heat in food is kinda like explosions in a movie. it does add something and some food calls for it a lot more than others, but it's also easy to be overpowering. it's interesting to hear because talk about it adding complexity, and i'm sure that is true for pros, but if you're just in pain it's really distracting from the flavor complexity and all i get is heat. idk i know i'm a wimp, but i'm also a wimp who ends up eating a lot of food that's too spicy for me and enjoying it but only in the way that i wish it was less spicy or that i dilute it with other things, because if all i take away from it is heat and pain, it's not fun or complex flavors.

Wooo yay new video

Honestly this is inspirational

I know Lisa Nguyen does spicy ramen challenges all the time, she started it wanting to build up her spice tolerance! V cool creator who does similar vibess

Caraca, ironicamente, hoje eu provei uma pimenta super picante. Vocês tem uma câmera dentro da minha casa? 🤨🤔

I've never heard such a soothing voice. Totally using you to help me sleep. 😂

Love you guys

I respect this so much, but when we eat peppers THAT much spicier than food grade it can be genuinely dangerous... stay safe, cats. Capsaicin is a poison to deter animals from eating plants' seeds. Reputable pepper-eating contests require pulse monitors, as at this concentration capsaicin can mess with your heart. 😬 If we're doing "eat a Carolina reaper" challenges etc, we should also have someone present in case we pass out. I'm a massive spice lover, but these novelty peppers bred for capsaicin content are nothing like a habanero or Scotch bonnet.

It's... Been awhile. Hope y'all didn't have to go find real jobs. That would be sad.

Thank you for your service

This is easily one of my favorite channels 😂❤❤️‍🔥

Isn’t a dried pepper significantly less spicy than a fresh one?

This is the best answer in progress video ever

Bravo! That was quite the dive. I'm glad it wasn't a solo venture in the end.

A Melissa episode, neat!
