    I feel like the pizza itself should be arranged the other way around, with the hottest on the outside and the mildest toward the center, so that the more you eat the more pain you experience. Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

    However, that would ruin the Inferno reference.

    Last year I planted some pepper plants, jalapeno and (what I thought was) jabanero. The peppers on one of the jabanero plants had these tiny little bumps on them and they eventually turned red instead of the usual orange of the jabaneros. When I ate the red bumpy ones, it wasn’t so much that they were hot as it felt like I’d just been punched hard in the lips. I thought that they were just some kind of weird mutation, but it turns out they were actually Carolina Reapers that had been mislabeled at the plant store. I like hot food, but that shit was too much for me.

    I take offense that hatch green chiles are claimed to be less spicy than jalapeños. Also, habañeros are pretty often not that spicy, though plenty of them are.

      There was a booth on a Rotterdam market named “Spice Girl”. They sold a number of interesting things like the chili oil we are using (very carefully, and we are used to hot food!), and the pickled gherkins - with a habanero in the jar. Absolutely recommendable. Sadly, they no longer run that booth, as they have gone online.

    It’s actually harmful for dog’s kidneys to eat peppers, onions, garlic, or mustard.

    It’s basically fatal if they eat grapes.

      Don’t forget to mention what xylitol does to dogs.
      Small amounts of arund 2 g per 10 kg body weight are very likely lethal within a short time if not treated instantly.
      Xylitol can be in sugar free candy or chewing gum potentially making one piece of them a lethal dose for small dogs.

    My dear friend has some pot plants.

    Her dog discovered pot accidentally.

    Then her dog discovered pot intentionally.

    Then her dog discovered pot aggressively.

    Now she has a greenhouse, and her dog is on a programme.

    Did he enjoy the experience, even if short-lived, of being able to breathe through his nose?

      I took him in as a stray foster dog who had been found on the street. I’ve spent thousands on his care. I don’t claim they’re healthy at all, but he’s a delightful pet and I’m nursing him through his very geriatric years. I absolutely love him and he was a hilarious monkey back in his younger years. I’m just reminiscing on his funny days because he’s having bad days lately.
