My new recipe book:
A Taste of Fire and Ice.
Just don’t expect the sequel to be released anytime soon.

I’m love to experience with different heat sensation when cooking. Every pepper is warming slightly differently and you can change the whole tasting experience by change the “heat source” of a dish. Recently, I’ve tasted Sichuan pepper and it what actually cold! And a cold very different from mint. Although round-leave mint and pepper mint (here another plant called pepper that’s cold!) have different sensation as well. I should try experiment with cold as well (*_*)

Spearmint would be good too if you’re going for a slightly sweeter, less intense flavor than peppermint!

I don’t know the english name but this one is very good. A nice balance or freshness and flavor.

No, this is cursed knowledge. I will have to try it now.

None of that is true though.
pseudo@jlai.lu 1 year ago
What is the truth then? I’m curious.

According to this theory, if I make Buldag ramen using boiling Listerine, it will be tasteless.

How has no one commented on this?

I literally did not notice. My brain just filled it in for me.

Because our brains are amazing and can just fill out the missing word while reading.

In a very traditional Afghan restaurant I used to frequent, if you ordered something really spicy, they’d bring you these small mint drops afterwards to chew on, no extra charge. Worked very well for me.

We mammals, and only we mammals, have nerve receptors capsaicin triggers. Birds don’t have such receptors. They happily chow peppers and poop the whole seeds all over.
Meanwhile, we mammals, who are supposed to hate the heat because we grind the seeds to death, have happily bred hotter and hotter peppers and spread them all over the planet.
I know of no such evolutionary win-win as peppers have pulled off. Genius.

Reminds me of the Exploratorium in San Francisco. They have an exhibition that has a long rail with metal coil wrapped around it. On one side, the coils are warm to the touch. On the other side, they’re cold to the touch. In the middle of the rail, the coils alternate hot-cold-hot-cold, and when I first touched it, my reflexes yanked my hand away because the nerves interpreted it as “so hot the ‘burned nerves’ feel cold”. Took a few attempts to be able to hold my hands there, and the sensation was very confusing. Would recommend+

Years ago I did a different version: getting out of a very hot jacuzzi then jumping into a snow bank. 'Worth a try. Once.

That’s basically how you’re supposed to do sauna in Finland

I wanted to try this, but I dont exactly have a menthol source :/
(Or do I?)
pseudo@jlai.lu 1 year ago
Maybe one day I’ll make my cherry juice with menthol and capsaicin.
You mean cherry juice mixed some mint and chili? Are you used to put thing in your cherry juice? Idt I have even taste cherry juice.

As someone who loves hot sauce and smokes menthols, I’m dubious. Maybe my hot sauce is too hot, but it will completely negate the menthol. I haven’t tried it with Altoids or anything, but I don’t know…

After reading this, for some reason, the phrase “cryogenic hellfire” lives rent-free in my brain.
