How much Chilly can you take?
I think it really depends on the kind of Chilly, there like different “blends”, the biologists on here will probably know what I wanted to say…
e.g. my personal favorites are:
Birdeye
Habanero
Tepin, Piquin, Pequin
They are all quite spicy, not to say hot on taste!
I do recommend washing your fingers carefully after cooking, grinding those or touching them in general, else you might end up like me, sitting in front of your PC in thoughts, scratching your back (ass?) and then swearing about the stupidity of not washing the hands. No joke, I spent an hour or so to get things of, so burning hot I thought I was going mad. I had to drink myself to bed with vodka!!
