😮 ima do this, thank you for the many hours of enjoyment I will get from this.
Edit: couldn't find "pepper x" but I found Wicked Reaper Carolina Reaper Chili Peppers that are already dried, I've been wanting a label maker already and figured this is the perfect project to get one. Got a jar for it as well.
I got masks and gloves, will have to look and see if I have goggles. It won't be fun making it but it'll be interesting to see what it does to my cooking and it'll be hilarious finding out which of my friends have oppositional defiance disorder. My new in home diagnostic tool.
Be careful adding it to a hot pan. It can completely take your breath away and leave you gasping and coughing for air.
Once broke a bottle of reaper hot sauce and it was like chemical warfare. Luckily already had very good respirator, diving mask, and thick rubber gloves otherwise I would not have been able to clean it up. I disposed of it in 5 layers of bags and it still found its way out enough to make my eyes water when I took the trash out.
i do prep in a kitchen and any time i have to use hot peppers or something i always forget and then use the sprayer to hose out my prep sink and it aerosolizes whatever hot pepper residue i had been using and end up gassing myself.
did it today with jalapeno. recently did it when we made a ghost pepper / scorpion pepper hot sauce and i thought i was dying
A bit of googling tells me he's an immigrant from Suriname. While I have no idea about his family background, Suriname in general has a pretty wild mix of ethnicities, with Africans, Asians, Europeans, and Amerindians mixed over centuries.
Dick move?…….yes, but I wouldn’t go as far as psychopath with him yet lol I would need to see a couple more interactions with him and other people before I laid that judgement on him
One of my uncles would do shit like this to me. He could be such a fucking asshole, lol. Like he'd be a grumpy bastard most of the time, but I'd be poking fun at him about something long enough and he just couldn't help but laugh.
He died last year. I miss him a lot.
Actually, he warned him, first by laughing at the question if they are bell peppers, and afterwards by essentially saying "if you can eat this, I think you're badass. - Sure, go ahead, give it a try, maybe you like it."
He didn't advise him to eat it. He taunted/baited him though.
Hey, hey, I got somethin' that'll mellow you out, man. You're just freakin' out. Here, here... Take these, man. Take these. This'll mellow you out, man. Just take 'em, man. [swallows whatever he was handed] Huh... Hey, hey, don't take those, man.
Me and some friends recently went through the full Hot Ones lineup coated on chicken nuggets. Apparently Da Bomb has a new recipe. I've tried the old one and it is as vile as everyone says, but the newer version isn't quite as bad. Still on the vile end of the spectrum though.
That’s interesting. I picked up a bottle a little while ago and really like it in small doses added to chili or stew, but everyone insists it’s disgusting and has no value as an ingredient whatsoever.
Hadn’t occurred to me they might have changed the recipe. Maybe we’re tasting two different hot sauces.
So, there’s a fascinating YouTube video that tested each of the sauces. Da bomb is actually the hottest in the lineup, and it’s because they use chemicals to add to the spice. The theory is that the last few taper off so that the guest has enough capacity to plug whatever they are on the show for.
You're probably referring to the Howtown video from a couple of years back. They bought the entire lineup for that season and sent them to a lab to be tested. With one exception, every sauce was significantly less hot than it said on the bottle. The one exception was Da Bomb, which was hotter than the label suggested. From what I understand it's a concentrate, which is why it both tastes like ass and is so much hotter than everything else. You're suppose to put a few drops in a vat of chili, not toss wings in it.
And yeah - they put it 3rd from last to allow people time to recover and to make it more entertaining.
Yeah, if you want a really potent hot sauce, you can get much better tasting ones that are a similar level of heat. Though for most people, at that level of hot sauce you mostly just taste pain.
Some friends had a bottle of that. You needed to dilute the hell out of it if you put in a salsa. One person was of the mindset that "Nothing is too spicy!" We told him, don't do it. But no, he dips a full chip in the pure Da Bomb, very healthy amount.
He spent the next 45 minutes lying on top of the kitchen counter in a fetal position sobbing.
My brother couldn't taste any spice for a good while after covid and would order the spiciest things he could find at the Indian restaurants or anywhere else, I wonder if he would have been immune to the bomb as well, should have gotten some.
I got COVID and had this happen. My go to sick routine is to drink Sriracha and V8 mixed 50/50 to clear my sinuses. When I got COVID, it tasted like nothing. So I chugged straight tobasco sauce. Nothing. I got the hottest sauces I could find and drank them straight. Nothing. No stomach gurgling and it didn't burn on the way out either. I swear I felt like I had some kind of super power.
I tried a tiny amount on the end of a toothpick with a small chunk on it, and that amount is meant to season an entire casserole. I did not know that. It was fine at first and then I found out why it’s called Da Bomb. I felt sick for over 30 minutes. Someone else I was with had the same amount and ended up drinking an entire gallon of milk.
Not OP but im betting overly spicy. I've ruined a giant pot of chili with Da Bomb before.
The best way to use it that if found is to dip a toothpick in the bottle and swirl that in a bowl of chili. It takes veeeery little to make something too hot.
The flavor is terrible by itself, like dry dogfood, but if you put enough in a dish to taste it you've messed up long ago.
It's very vinegary, earthy, and the heat is more Indian curry style of slowly burning your insides out.
My understanding is its meant to be used as a drop or two in a spicy dish where you don't want to change the flavor much while heating it up. The oleoresin isn't popular with some spice heads for its chemical alcohol taste.
He was being very vague, but to be fair, after hearing that, I’d sure as hell not eat them. He even said that he’d be impressed if he’s able to eat them
you dont need to know anything about sambal to interview someone about it.
if I went and Interviewed a firefighter and hes like pull this lever down something cool happens when you do it and I get blasted with water its not on the person who doesnt know anything fault nor should they have known better.
Guy who ate it also obviously had to think about it for a second before he went for it.
I am sure he had at least 60% of an idea what he was doing and was looking for some good TV. Nobody wears a blue suit like that without having at least some willingness to suffer for the shot.
I think he just did not anticipate how much of a ride he was about to go on
I work at a grocery store. We sold these little ornamental pepper plants with tiny purple peppers. After being asked for the twelfth time whether the peppers were edible I decided to eat on and find out. Most definitely not edible 🥵🔥🔥🔥🥵🤮🔥🤬
My older sister gave one of those tiny greasy looking ornamental peppers they sell at the holidays to try, and I didn’t even get 3 chews. Just the oil from it swelled my tongue and lips. Had a red ring around my mouth for a few hours, and a pain that up to that point never experienced. It was like a severe chemical burn. I see them now and they usually are labeled ‘not for human consumption, decorative only’. Lesson learn never trust my sister.
Why did bro put the whole thing in his mouth? Does he not understand how peppers work?
Edit to add: I understand he “thought” it was a bell pepper, I watched the whole video. Obviously this whole thing is an act for the camera, but if wasn’t, this guy has zero survival instinct chomping down on a random pepper like that.
agreed. I would be super suspicious of anyone who offers me a little pepper. This doesn't look like one of the angry insane ones (carolina reaper) but could easily pack a punch.
Nibble? Its getting a sniff test first. Then a sniff test when the skin is punctured. Then a lick. A nibble to start off, with a pepper the cook is being suspiciously nonchalant about, is pretty far for a first date
I had the same thought. Who ingests anything offered by a man who looks like that? Looks like a malevolent fae creature who's barely holding together the glamour that makes him appear human.
But don't nibble the tip. I grew a lot of purple death peppers this year, they've often got a little stinger on them. The very tip of the stinger is not hot at all, zero heat. The rest of the pepper is 1.5 million Scoville. I mention this because my sister's partner tried nibbling the end, thought it couldn't possibly be as bad as I had warned, bit into the side and got their world rocked.
I once chopped up a bunch of habeneros one night and stopped to go pee. I highly recommend any guy reading this NOT do that without thoroughly washing your hands first.
I used to work in the kitchen of a small town restaurant as a dish washer. The son of the restaurant owner had a habanero hot sauce he'd make and sell to local grocery stores. Well one night he had just made a batch in a massive stew pot and asked me to wash it. Now I was growing Trinidad Scorpions at the time and even though habaneros are only 1/3 as hot I knew to still be careful as I washed this, so I made sure to avoid splashing water into my eyes and washed my hands thoroughly after I was done.
I rinsed it out and put it in the dishwasher. It was a commercial dishwasher, the kind that takes less than 5 minutes per cycle and uses boiling hot water. Well once it finished I absentmindedly opened it up with my face right above the door.
I've never been teargassed but what I experienced must have been pretty similar. I had essentially created a essential oil vaporizer with capsaicin and got a face full of it.
Habanero is really good in food. When I started using them I had to try eating them whole. It's not really that bad, actually kind of rejuvenating. But I feel my limit is exactly there, I am not gonna try anything above habanero on the scoville scale. (At least not without buidling up tolerance for a long while beforehand).
I trick myself into believing that I wouldn’t fall for this type of obvious baiting, but I’d have probably been had by that old mean man with his menacing smile, too.
My dad grows a lot of hot peppers. When I was a kid, I went to the garden with him and saw a little green pepper on one of his plants. I knew he grew bell peppers and asked him if it was one. He laughed and said it was a new breed of mini bell pepper. I loved eating stuff straight out of the garden and popped the thing in my mouth. When I started crying, he realized I ate it. It was a habanero pepper. I was 10 and thought I could trust my dad... Now, I absolutely love habaneros, but, it is a core memory.
The knowing glance to the camera. The way he tries to withhold his giggles as his victim starts to feel the thirst wave of mouth melting pain. Beware of the mischievous pepper man.
This is maybe one of my favorite memes, he sounds so innocent while asking, trying to hide the glee in his voice. He never recommends it, but phrases it in such a way that they guy is completely unaware of the trap he's falling into.
What country is this from? There is a huge portion of the world who have likely never tasted raw peppers. Even going from pickled jalapenos to a raw one is a huge jump in heat.
It's not like he spiked someone else's lunch, the dude walked into the house of someone who makes sambal and knowingly ate a random pepper without confirming wtf it was first.
That seems like a him problem to me but what do I know, I'm not in the habit of one-throating strange food I haven't even asked the name of.
I disagree. Have you ever had a really hot pepper? I would say giving someone one to eat without them knowing is just as mean as just gut-punching someone. In fact, I'd take a punch to the gut over eating a massively hot pepper any day.
Could be worse -- Madame Jeanette is just in the same range as the habanero/Scotch bonnett in terms of spiciness.
You won't be having fun if you're not used to it, but there's little chance of landing you in the hospital like some of the really nasty ones, like the Carolina Reaper.
I had habañero poppers a few years ago- I enjoy the memory, I didn’t enjoy the experience at the time so much. I‘ve forgotten everything my grandmother ever fed me, but I’ll never forget the poppers from “The Mine Shaft” in Madrid NM.
Once you get used to the heat, they're one of the best peppers -- they have this complex, floral/citrus-y flavor that goes with a huge variety of different dishes.
... dammit, looks like they stopped making those (or I don't see it in their online menu). I'm betting you don't recall the kind of cheese? Because that would make or break them... maybe manchego and goat cheese?
Aside: Oddly enough, it's habanero, not habañero -- it's widely mispronounced in the U.S., probably because of jalapeño.
It's Dutch, the old man does have a very strong accent though so non natives may have a hard time understanding what he is saying:) (No shade, I love his accent)
He sounds like he is from Suriname. The kitchen there uses those peppers, unlike the regular Dutch kitchen. It’s a former part of the Netherlands but now independent since 1975. There are still strong ties between the two nations and they speak Dutch over there though they also use their own languages. Many have moved from Suriname and live in the Netherlands now, where they bring much joy as demonstrated in this clip.
His roots are definitely from Suriname. The guy is famous in Rotterdam as the sambalman (hot sauce man), I’ve run into him before when I still lived there and he was peddling it on the streets.
He's currently homeless:( if you are from the area it would be amazing if you bought his sambal😊 he started selling again. He did however say he will likely get a place soon🥰
A friend of my dad's (when I was a kid, maybe mid-teens?) had this jar of little yellow-green pickled-looking things on the kitchen table that he kept crunching on. Finally asked if I wanted to try one (him and Dad trying to keep straight faces :). I went for it anyway, turned out it was pickled jalapeños 😳😳😳
this man is either a vampire or a trickster god who goaded that dude into eating it then gaslighting him after for eating it. his wicked smile is the best
That smile and look at the camera lol.
Edit: lol thanks everyone, my most upvoted comment is now from the evil pepper man.

somehow i feel this ain't the first time he's done that
I would too if someone showed up to my house in a suit like that.
PJs only or you get the mouth melter!
My dad grew some thai peppers that were like this. Dried them out, ground them, and put them in a jar labelled, "Prometheus powder - DO NOT SMELL"
Well guess what everyone who saw the jar did? Took a big ole whiff.
He knew exactly what he was doing...lol
😮 ima do this, thank you for the many hours of enjoyment I will get from this.
Edit: couldn't find "pepper x" but I found Wicked Reaper Carolina Reaper Chili Peppers that are already dried, I've been wanting a label maker already and figured this is the perfect project to get one. Got a jar for it as well.
Do yourself a favor. Buy a respirator, gloves, and goggles before doing anything with those dried peppers.
I got masks and gloves, will have to look and see if I have goggles. It won't be fun making it but it'll be interesting to see what it does to my cooking and it'll be hilarious finding out which of my friends have oppositional defiance disorder. My new in home diagnostic tool.

that is harsh but does sound quite funny. He did warn them.
i do prep in a kitchen and any time i have to use hot peppers or something i always forget and then use the sprayer to hose out my prep sink and it aerosolizes whatever hot pepper residue i had been using and end up gassing myself.
did it today with jalapeno. recently did it when we made a ghost pepper / scorpion pepper hot sauce and i thought i was dying
...like Satan on his day off. Actions and looks. 🙏
"What's wrong?,Did you eat the whole thing" after literally seeing him eat a whole one lol
What a Neanderthal dick move
Why does he look like that tho, looks like he's about to tell me about saving money on my car insurance.
He looks like an Australian Aboriginal.
I was thinking he looks like Ron Perlman's dad
Or Ron Perlman's corpse
Ron Perlman after a yellow pepper
A bit of googling tells me he's an immigrant from Suriname. While I have no idea about his family background, Suriname in general has a pretty wild mix of ethnicities, with Africans, Asians, Europeans, and Amerindians mixed over centuries.
Dude is the closest thing we got to OG humans
That's what I was thinking!
An albino aboriginal?
Or chase the Hendersons around the kitchen.

Straight up psychopath vibes

People suck and you don’t get to pick your family but sometimes nature works out!! Sorry about your loss.
It was his denial ‘I didn’t say do it’. Deceptive. Then giggles without an ounce of empathy.
He in fact did say do it! Go back and listen to it “go ahead you may like them”
Actually, he warned him, first by laughing at the question if they are bell peppers, and afterwards by essentially saying "if you can eat this, I think you're badass. - Sure, go ahead, give it a try, maybe you like it."
He didn't advise him to eat it. He taunted/baited him though.
It's like when your DM says "You can try"
The other people he's interacted with are what's for dinner.
Oh, come on, it was funny.
So dramatic...
No no. Thats the abominable snowman from Monsters Inc.
“Watch this.”
Hey, hey, I got somethin' that'll mellow you out, man. You're just freakin' out. Here, here... Take these, man. Take these. This'll mellow you out, man. Just take 'em, man. [swallows whatever he was handed] Huh... Hey, hey, don't take those, man.

To make sambal!:) The interviewer was here to interview this man about his sambal, he should have known better.
Just like Hot One's Tha Bomb. That's not a condiment but an ingredient
Da Bomb is not an ingredient its a weapon.
It also tastes horrible.
Yes it does. I bought a bottle once just to see what all the fuss was about. It's a great appetite suppressant because you stomach recoils in horror.
It's really bad and really really hot. The worst thing I think I've ever put in my mouth
And that's really saying something!
Just how well do you know Narrow_While?
And how bad is u/One-cattle-5550 ‘s thing
Me and some friends recently went through the full Hot Ones lineup coated on chicken nuggets. Apparently Da Bomb has a new recipe. I've tried the old one and it is as vile as everyone says, but the newer version isn't quite as bad. Still on the vile end of the spectrum though.

Deserved.
My brother couldn't taste any spice for a good while after covid and would order the spiciest things he could find at the Indian restaurants or anywhere else, I wonder if he would have been immune to the bomb as well, should have gotten some.
My coworker (who is already really spice tolerant) had that side effect also. Still does the same things to your digestive system though lol
I got COVID and had this happen. My go to sick routine is to drink Sriracha and V8 mixed 50/50 to clear my sinuses. When I got COVID, it tasted like nothing. So I chugged straight tobasco sauce. Nothing. I got the hottest sauces I could find and drank them straight. Nothing. No stomach gurgling and it didn't burn on the way out either. I swear I felt like I had some kind of super power.

It was fine at first and then I found out why it’s called Da Bomb. I felt sick for over 30 minutes. Someone else I was with had the same amount and ended up drinking an entire gallon of milk.
I put like 8 drops of that shit in about 3 gallons of chicken soup and completely ruined it
What was the taste like? Was it bad? Or just overly spicy?
Not OP but im betting overly spicy. I've ruined a giant pot of chili with Da Bomb before.
The best way to use it that if found is to dip a toothpick in the bottle and swirl that in a bowl of chili. It takes veeeery little to make something too hot.
The flavor is terrible by itself, like dry dogfood, but if you put enough in a dish to taste it you've messed up long ago.
What even is the point of a sauce if it needs that level of dilution? Might as well get some pure capsaicin solution.
Thats pretty much what it is. Capsaicin and hate in a bottle.
Its more of a prank or "Look how badass I am" sauce.
It's very vinegary, earthy, and the heat is more Indian curry style of slowly burning your insides out.
My understanding is its meant to be used as a drop or two in a spicy dish where you don't want to change the flavor much while heating it up. The oleoresin isn't popular with some spice heads for its chemical alcohol taste.
Should have known better? He asked and the man encouraged him lol
He was being very vague, but to be fair, after hearing that, I’d sure as hell not eat them. He even said that he’d be impressed if he’s able to eat them
sounds like a bit of a warning to me lol
in fact eating one of those would make you quite hot
"If you can eat these, you're quite cool"
That would be considered fair warning where I'm from, or at least a test of comprehension and ability to pick up on subtext
Those words are nothing but a challenge lol
you dont need to know anything about sambal to interview someone about it.
if I went and Interviewed a firefighter and hes like pull this lever down something cool happens when you do it and I get blasted with water its not on the person who doesnt know anything fault nor should they have known better.
old man was just being a dick for the fun of it.
To be fair, that would also be pretty funny.
There isn't a Dutch person that doesn't know what sambal is!
I agree that he was being a dick btw, lol
Guy who ate it also obviously had to think about it for a second before he went for it.
I am sure he had at least 60% of an idea what he was doing and was looking for some good TV. Nobody wears a blue suit like that without having at least some willingness to suffer for the shot.
I think he just did not anticipate how much of a ride he was about to go on
Fucking sent me when he said, “you really shouldnt eat those” 🤣
"I thought you might like it."
"No! Absolutely not!"
"I noticed. 😇"
Every line he said was perfect. So nonchalant as well. I'm crying laughing.
"Can't park there" vibes.
It's an ingredient for hot sauce. He just doesn't eat them whole.
I work at a grocery store. We sold these little ornamental pepper plants with tiny purple peppers. After being asked for the twelfth time whether the peppers were edible I decided to eat on and find out. Most definitely not edible 🥵🔥🔥🔥🥵🤮🔥🤬

If anything you do a tiny little nibble to test it out. But I wouldn't trust anything a guy with a face like that offered me LOL
Nibble? Its getting a sniff test first. Then a sniff test when the skin is punctured. Then a lick. A nibble to start off, with a pepper the cook is being suspiciously nonchalant about, is pretty far for a first date
damn take the pepper to dinner first
At first I thought you meant putting it on your own punctured skin and that you were the dumbest man alive 🤣
I had the same thought. Who ingests anything offered by a man who looks like that? Looks like a malevolent fae creature who's barely holding together the glamour that makes him appear human.

It's comparable to a habanero. If you ever find one I highly suggest you buy it, they are quite nice😊
I once chopped up a bunch of habeneros one night and stopped to go pee. I highly recommend any guy reading this NOT do that without thoroughly washing your hands first.

I've never been teargassed but what I experienced must have been pretty similar. I had essentially created a essential oil vaporizer with capsaicin and got a face full of it.
Make sure to wash under your finger nails too. I never made the same mistake you did, but I did touch my eyes after chopping up habeneros.
I couldn't open my eyes for hours.
It's good to have a pack of disposable gloves in your kitchen anyway. Very handy for chopping large amounts of peppers.
I will pass, but thanks. I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to heat. I still like to taste my food.
If you build your tolerance, you can taste the food and the pepper too!
Though I get folks not wanting to build up their tolerance given the pain and all. I’m also a bit of a masochist.
Habanero is really good in food. When I started using them I had to try eating them whole. It's not really that bad, actually kind of rejuvenating. But I feel my limit is exactly there, I am not gonna try anything above habanero on the scoville scale. (At least not without buidling up tolerance for a long while beforehand).
Habaneros are my limit for raw peppers too. My mouth can handle more, my stomach and the end of my digestive tract cannot.
Habaneros and scotch bonnets are the best tasting peppers, fatalii too if you can find them.
I think they're a type of Habanero
He thought it was a mini bell pepper and the guy encouraged him to “try it, maybe you like it”
He also said: you’re quite cool if you eat this.
I trick myself into believing that I wouldn’t fall for this type of obvious baiting, but I’d have probably been had by that old mean man with his menacing smile, too.
I think he knew what he was likely getting into, but it's some good content lol
The old guy's little giggle was great.
My dad grows a lot of hot peppers. When I was a kid, I went to the garden with him and saw a little green pepper on one of his plants. I knew he grew bell peppers and asked him if it was one. He laughed and said it was a new breed of mini bell pepper. I loved eating stuff straight out of the garden and popped the thing in my mouth. When I started crying, he realized I ate it. It was a habanero pepper. I was 10 and thought I could trust my dad... Now, I absolutely love habaneros, but, it is a core memory.
The knowing glance to the camera. The way he tries to withhold his giggles as his victim starts to feel the thirst wave of mouth melting pain. Beware of the mischievous pepper man.
"Thirst wave" is a wonderful phrase, intentional or not.
Curse your mischief, Pepper Man!! The third time will be the last!!
This is maybe one of my favorite memes, he sounds so innocent while asking, trying to hide the glee in his voice. He never recommends it, but phrases it in such a way that they guy is completely unaware of the trap he's falling into.
This is the type of chaos we should all try to achieve when we are older. The zero fucks given is a gift from from the gods as an apology for aging.
You can be chaotic, just don't be mean spirited about it. This was just a shitty thing to do
Who just eats a pepper like that though. It's deranged.
You can eat banana peppers and shihido peppers just like that.
There's so many peppers you can eat just like that.
What country is this from? There is a huge portion of the world who have likely never tasted raw peppers. Even going from pickled jalapenos to a raw one is a huge jump in heat.
The guy in blue was there to interview the guy about making sambal…. A spicy chili based sauce lol. The guy in blue is dumb for not knowing tbh
He probably knew what it was but he committed to the bit for the entertainment value. He's a TV presenter after all.
Yep, the pearl-clutching in this thread is quite laughable. Those people using the word "psychopath" need to get off the Internet for a while.
The purpose here was to make good TV, and that's exactly what we got. The video is hilarious and no (permanent) harm came to anyone.
Maybe to you, I think it’s funny, he didn’t have to eat it at all and he decided to. It’s not like he’s gonna die from it.
It's not like he spiked someone else's lunch, the dude walked into the house of someone who makes sambal and knowingly ate a random pepper without confirming wtf it was first.
That seems like a him problem to me but what do I know, I'm not in the habit of one-throating strange food I haven't even asked the name of.
I disagree. Have you ever had a really hot pepper? I would say giving someone one to eat without them knowing is just as mean as just gut-punching someone. In fact, I'd take a punch to the gut over eating a massively hot pepper any day.
Could be worse -- Madame Jeanette is just in the same range as the habanero/Scotch bonnett in terms of spiciness.
You won't be having fun if you're not used to it, but there's little chance of landing you in the hospital like some of the really nasty ones, like the Carolina Reaper.
I was just checking out his website, he does sell siracha made with carolina reaper._. I may buy some..
Dude decided to eat a whole pepper he couldn't identify given to him by someone who literally makes hot sauce. Lololol.
By someone who looks like the skinned version of what id imagine the grim reaper to look like.
I've never seen "skinned" used that way before, but it's appropriate
I've bought bottles of hot sauce made with the reaper. A little goes a loooooong way and I LOVE spicy food. It's crazy hot.
I had habañero poppers a few years ago- I enjoy the memory, I didn’t enjoy the experience at the time so much. I‘ve forgotten everything my grandmother ever fed me, but I’ll never forget the poppers from “The Mine Shaft” in Madrid NM.
Once you get used to the heat, they're one of the best peppers -- they have this complex, floral/citrus-y flavor that goes with a huge variety of different dishes.
... dammit, looks like they stopped making those (or I don't see it in their online menu). I'm betting you don't recall the kind of cheese? Because that would make or break them... maybe manchego and goat cheese?
Aside: Oddly enough, it's habanero, not habañero -- it's widely mispronounced in the U.S., probably because of jalapeño.
HE GONNA DIE.

🤣Bro was like .."GOTEEEM!".
"heb em"
Took me till the last 15 seconds to realize it was Dutch.
Dutch is my native language, and I had no clue.
Those little chuckles to himself are genuinely hillarious
Is that guy from the Neolithic period or what
He is a Surnamese Albino.
I think he might be albino or something
Old man is an asshole.
Lighten up.
You also need to lighten up. He only called the old man an asshole.
Agreed. I would never do this to someone.
As a reformed pepper head, I agree. It's a dick move to give anyone any substance if they're not informed and/or without consent.
"I noticed 😊"
Dr. Pepper is an evil scientist

What language is that?
It's Dutch, the old man does have a very strong accent though so non natives may have a hard time understanding what he is saying:) (No shade, I love his accent)
I thought it was Afrikaans because the old guy talked so weirdly. But the other guy did sound Dutch to me.
Dutch Surinamese accent, old fella has Surinamese roots most likely
He sounds like he is from Suriname. The kitchen there uses those peppers, unlike the regular Dutch kitchen. It’s a former part of the Netherlands but now independent since 1975. There are still strong ties between the two nations and they speak Dutch over there though they also use their own languages. Many have moved from Suriname and live in the Netherlands now, where they bring much joy as demonstrated in this clip.
His roots are definitely from Suriname. The guy is famous in Rotterdam as the sambalman (hot sauce man), I’ve run into him before when I still lived there and he was peddling it on the streets.
The entire time watching - Don’t touch your eyes!
r/foundsatan
Top tier trolling. That beautiful smile needs to be memeified.
This is one of my fav bits of dutch tv. This man roams around Rotterdam, and sells sambal from his little cart. Hes quite the local legend!
He's currently homeless:( if you are from the area it would be amazing if you bought his sambal😊 he started selling again. He did however say he will likely get a place soon🥰
Lol, "tiny bell peppers"
It’s going to hurt again in a few hours
Why is there a shaved yeti with a cooking show ?
The uncontrollable snicker he let's out, just pure entertainment. Lmao
That is an evil old man
He seems pretty chill to me
« Go ahead, you might like them » 😭 that man is the devil incarnate, he knew what he was doing
not trying to be rude but looking at that man's face is deeply unsettling me
Pure evil that man

I’m Belgian and it took me to the end of the video to realize they were speaking dutch lol
A friend of my dad's (when I was a kid, maybe mid-teens?) had this jar of little yellow-green pickled-looking things on the kitchen table that he kept crunching on. Finally asked if I wanted to try one (him and Dad trying to keep straight faces :). I went for it anyway, turned out it was pickled jalapeños 😳😳😳
Terrible thing to do
He did it to himself. The old guy just said he'd be pretty cool if he tried it lol.
He was there to interview the guy about hot sauce. It should have been obvious what was happening. He straight up said "I don't eat those."
this man is either a vampire or a trickster god who goaded that dude into eating it then gaslighting him after for eating it. his wicked smile is the best
The smile said it all
