We're born, we eat spicy food, we die.

But what does it *taste* like?

Resiniferatoxin is 10,000 times hotter than the hottest pepper, and has features that make it promising as a painkiller of last resort.

Nepal is such a colorful place. I've really enjoyed my time here. The people are so genuinely warm and welcoming. The history so deep and rich. And of course, the food is terrific!
These round chilies are known locally as Dalle Khursani or Akbare khursani. They have a flavor profile between jalapeños and Thai chilies, but pack the punch of habeñeros. I wish I was sticking around long enough to try out some traditional recipes and experiment with new ideas using local ingredients. Reason to come back!

One of the best parts of traveling the world is trying new cuisines. But one thing you never hear about is the simple joy a can bring a weary traveller. 7 months and 3 continents later, I can say Kathmandu's French Bakery serves up real deal breakfast. The owner was a delight to talk to: he's cooked around the world before returning to his home Nepal to open his own cafe. Naturally, our conversation turned to and we exchanged samples of our pepper sauces. The man can handle heat!

I'm not saying chilies will prevent cancer. But maybe chilies AND ginger will.

Nachos for dinner are even better when you're in a country shaped and named like a chili pepper!

Great write up on chilies you might not be familiar with...

In the past year or two, I've noticed certain chilies coming to the fore, in my own cooking and others', so I put together this list of chilies that are worth seeking out. It's based on my own predilections and those of a few farmers, other hot sauce fiends, and chefs, and it includes chilies rangin…
