I’ve had it!

It’s bad!

Taste is very strong extract, no actual pepper flavor. That’s on top of a pretty bland chicken noodle. It had some heat, nothing crazy but more than nothing, but without the flavor it just felt completely separate from the soup. Like you just did a shooter of Da Bomb and then ate some (very mid) soup back to back.

As an aside, I feel like Ghost Pepper is going pretty mainstream right now, and there’s some great stuff out there. Melinda’s Creamy Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce is amaaaaazing, I go through practically a bottle a week; pretty hot for normies but sooo much flavor that I got acclimatized very quickly and it’s pretty much my baseline now. Great for sandwiches/wraps or mixing with other sauces to pump up the heat (I put a bunch in all my Cane’s sauces these days).

As an aside to the aside, Tobasco is no pepper-head’s favorite, but their Scorpion sauce is actually pretty dang good. Flavor is decent, heat is awesome; very sharp and electric, gives very much the ouchie. Great for soups and chilis.
