Salt. We all use it, put it in the water to boil foods, sprinkle it on prepared foods at the table, seek out different kinds to try, but ...........
we don't put heaping tablespoons of it in our mouths to see what will happen.
Why do people feel compelled to do this with chiles? I love hot & will give any dish, no matter how piquant, a chance. But chiles are a condiment, used to enhance other things.
Incidentally, if he knew his chiles, he'd have known by its appearance that the jolokia is yet another variety of the Capsicum chinense (also, C. sinense) -- the family to which the habanero belongs. These chiles are highly desirable for their distinctive fruity taste, but all must be approached with caution in regards to fire on the tongue.
He also mispronounced habanero (h is silent) and made me look as he spilled milk into his beard. yuck.
