I like hot food but I got some sauce that is made from Carolina reapers. We make chilli con carne for the family but feed the kids first before adding the sauce. I literally put a table spoon in and that's more than enough. It's crazy just how hot it is. I really have no idea how people can stomach a whole chilli.

Does it actually taste nice though? I like really hot food, e.g. love the taste of buldak bokkeum myun and regularly eat the Samyang 2x. But I find these chilli's have some really unpleasant flavour compared to more 'normal' chillies.

Depends on what it's used on and mixed with. I've got a hot sauce that's made with reapers blended with cherries and some other stuff. It's spicy but has quite a lovely flavor.

I've also got some hope sauces that are in the 1-2,000,000+ Scoville range. You generally don't apply those to food directly but rather use it to add a bit of heat to an existing sauce or soup etc

Honestly, not really. However in this situation it's only a table spoon so you don't really taste it. You just get the heat.

Imho original Buldak is better than 2x. 2x doesn't have good flavour. It's just hot. It's better to make regular Buldak and add something super hot to it.

Carolina reapers actually have a very nice flavor profile: pleasantly sweet at first, then earthy, floral, bitter. The heat is a little delayed, and it starts in your throat and then comes all the way out to your lips.

They're absolutely devastating.

He must be a bird.

I usually add about a tablespoon of such sauce per portion...
