Food & Drink How high can you go on the Scoville scale and still enjoy your food?

Not much past jalapeño heat level for me, whatever that is on the scale.
 
350k is my limit based on eating raw Scotch bonnet peppers, which has a wonderfully floral flavor.

Even that's already too painful for me, so anything more would just kill me
 
Habanero is about my limit. My comfort zone is thai bird-eyes.
 
Outside of those crazy spicy chips, peanuts and gummies I can eat pretty much anything. Nobody believes just how much I can tolerate until they see it, I’ve literally had concentrated ghost pepper powder and been totally normal while everyone else was blasted by it.

I don’t like novelty items that are just for heat, it has to have good flavour and built for that first or I’m not even going to entertain it, that’s why I won’t even try those novelty Spicey things.

Da bomb is probably the most recognized one that I have no problem with, I think it has a terrible flavour though.

Please recommend me some flavourful superrrr spicy ones :)

These peeps have a good line up with lots of taste and heat : https://dabigislandburn.com/
 
Went to Buffalo Wild Wings and Mango Habanero was about as hot as I could tolerate. It's fun, once in a while, but usually I like the middle of the road stuff.

Those are all gay on the Scoville ghey
 
I can handle ghost peppers and Carolina reapers even if it burns my belly and makes me take a decent deuce
 
I can appreciate a mill but prefer to be in the 350 range... Ate a third of a reaper once and found it to not be pleasant...
 
Depends what it is. I've lost the ability to go crazy hot all the time, but I can still enjoy chili/wings/reapers on Chicken Sandwich or Burger. So? That's what roughly 1 million?
 
My mate makes this chilli salt with Carolina Reaper in it, it's fucking delicious.

But it's mainly Thai chillies and it's not like I use much.
 
I eat spicy but not extremly. For me its not the pain when eating it. Its the bathroom visit hours later.
 
Habanero is my limit every pepper above that just taste gross habanero is actually delicious. I use habanero sauce all the time.

After a point, there's no flavor. I don't really get this trend of eating mega hot food just to say you ate it. Its not enjoyable.
I agree I eat for flavor and not to be a dick measuring edgelord saying I ate a Carolina reaper.
 
Jalapeño is about it for taste. I can tolerate up untill Habebero ....... I can tolerate eating it ........ the next morning is no picnic.
