Carolina Reaper cheddar!

[scottranda]

Why do people punish themselves with hot peppers? Is it actually enjoyable when it’s that hot?

[Mosca]

Once you’re hooked, you’re hooked. It might interest you to know that we all have a limit. I’ve tasted hot salsas that had me saying no mas, and someone else is digging in for more. I started with Tabasco when I was a kid, moved on up as I got used to each level. There was a time I couldn’t take habaneros, now I chop them into salads. The hard stuff: reapers, scorpions, ghosts, nagas, etc, I need to have those diluted. They actually taste really good, though.

Mosca Yep, they do taste good. And some have interesting flavour profiles… I often refer to habaneros as "mangoes from hell" LOL because once the heat is cut down they taste surprisingly like a mango. Probably explains all of the mango habanero salsas out there. ;-)

PLEASE, do tell me bout yer experiences with this here Carolina Reaper cheddar, Amigo...

I want in on this...;')

I’ve been acclimating myself to this cheese, and I’m very pleased with it. The first omelet I used less of it than I normally put in an omelet, and it was hot, but completely doable. The next omelet I used my normal amount. And now I’m putting it on cheeseburgers as double slices.

My taste says that when used that way, it is very peppery and very forward, with a bright fruity taste, but with no "sustain"; my mouth isn’t burning for 10 minutes afterward.

On crackers, it is pretty hot, but once I got used to it I can just cut off a slice and eat it. That way, just eating it as cheese, there is about 5-10 minutes of sustain.

I would definitely get this again, but I wouldn’t order it from Pennsylvania Macaroni; I’d wait until I was in Pittsburgh and buy it otc. Or, look it up locally, or find somewhere it would ship cheaper.

I do have a problem with cheese. I love it, but I buy far more of it than I actually eat. I’ll have 5 or 6 cheddars, an Emmentaler, some mimolette, provolone, and a couple-‘tree others. And I’m just not that hungry all the time. I love the cheese, but can only eat so much.

I’m pretty much okay with eating it like this.



One excellent thing is eating it, then taking a nice slug of hot coffee and reigniting the burn.

[Mr. Bones]

Yummo!!!
