Got ahold of some of those Takis, rolled tortilla chips that are supposed to be super hot. Tried a few, the heat didn’t bother me but they were way too salty, so I went looking for someone else to take them off my hands. Gave the unopened bag to a friend of a friend, but figured it was a little cheesy to give someone I basically didn’t know a half-eaten open bag.
However, there’s a neighborhood near me with stray peacocks and other poultry, and I’m told birds don’t react to capsaicin. Can report that the peacocks would eat them but seemed basically unimpressed, the guinea fowl didn’t even recognize them as food, but the chickens loved them.
And the baby chicks practically swarmed the car once they had a chance to try them.
So there it is. Jimbo is a bigger wuss than a fluffy baby chick.
More importantly, who keeps pushing the addition of hot peppers in food? The first time I ever heard of a jalapeño pepper was in the 1980s. Maybe it had always been available at some exclusive restaurants, but now it’s everywhere… at the store today I saw a bag of chips with some jalapeño flavor. Wendy’s is promoting the Jalapeño Popper Chicken Sandwich. This is another one of these “food fads” that I will be glad to see the end of. I wouldn’t touch any of this stuff if they paid me. If it’s on the Scoville scale you won’t find it in my kitchen.
There must be some sort of association of pepper growers behind this.
Remember: these are people written to think jalepenos are hot. I suspect the writer imagines using a dusting of Tony Chachere’s and thinking that’ s going to induce the sweats.
The joys of hot food and benefits: longevity, speeds up the metabolism, combats inflammation, kills bacteria and may fight cancer. Plus it tastes great! Bland food is disgusting.

If you could feel it going down, you know that you are alive. Only the dead feel no pain.

If you can still taste them then they are not too spicy.

Why do these people only have four fingers? Or more to the point, four digit looking things.

Cajun swamp voodoo uses those peppers to revive the dead.

So now we know—Rose deliberately flavors the food past Jimbo’s limits so that she can have it all herself.
