Not too sure about those hot peppers though. I’m a crybaby when it comes to spicy food. I grow some really hot peppers every year, mostly because I think they are pretty. My husband eats a few but I end up giving most of them away.
When I was young, my Dear Old Dad used to raise hot peppers every year. He would get two or 3 new varieties every year to test, and the hottest peppers out of the garden "won", and had seed saved back for the next year. over time, he managed to gather some pretty hot pepper stock. Every year, he would can them up in quart Mason jars. Whenever I'd go home, I'd eat them by the quart, and then pay dearly for it for the next 3 days or so, but that was when I figured out they'd keep my breathers cleared out.
I've also been known to get Taco Bell "Fire sauce" packets, and just eat the sauce straight out of the pack. Does the same thing. And I have drawn the occasional fearful (for my sanity) look by eating hot sauce sandwiches...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
