A couple of years ago I grew some habanero peppers in my garden. One of the plants had been mislabeled, however, and turned out to be carolina reapers. Eating them didn’t feel like normal hot peppers – it felt like I had been punched hard in the lips.
We grew some reapers intentionally once and we quickly figured out the best way to use them was to chop them up, scrape them into the compost bin, and then cut other stuff without washing the cutting board.

This has the same energy as an absinthe rinse and… I kinda get it.
