I am not a spicy food person. So I bought half a pound of wasabi-coated peanuts. At first I had to hold my breath while eating them or else the vapors would burn my nose interior. I kept at it anyway, because I'm fundamentally lazy and they didn't require any cooking.
So now the first 2cm of my tongue is incapable of tasting anything, for about two days now. All I get is the texture. Peanut butter is like this fatty sludge, which I suppose it always was, but without the peanut taste it just feels like straight lard.
Do taste buds grow back? Am I just fucked forever?
Give it a day or two.
This not only happens with spicy food, that can happen with synthetic candies that are meant to be "sour".

The length of time is a bit odd. I'm quite fond of spicy food myself and my favorite drink is tequila with ghost pepper sauce mixed in. But you have to work your way up to that sort of thing. Even with my preferences I sometimes get unpleasantly surprised. I haven't had ghost pepper sauce in a while and tequila is my birthday drink, and my birthday was yesterday and I licked the bottom of the shot glass and..... Put an ice cube immediately in my mouth. But my sense of taste was not damaged, and that's the hottest thing that is naturally occurring. As a point of comparison, mace is, I think, twice as strong and it doesn't cause permanent blindness. If it continues, see a doctor.

Ladies and not-ladies, this is why it's important to make sure you fully understand what something is before putting it in your mouth. Unless you are Roger. In that case, for best effect, don't even know what it is called. It might spoil the surprise. :lol:

The spicy chemicals in hot peppers are alkaloid. I believe that so are the ones in horseradish. But of course, some of the most dangerous chemicals are alkaloids.

I've never lost taste from eating spicy foods, but (as previously mentioned) have from sour candy.
I wonder if that's because I indulge i spicy foods with far more frequency? Interesting to ponder.

Wiki dive reporting!
I had thought that capsaicin (chili peppers) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin) and allyl isothiocyanate (horseradish / wasabi) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allyl_isothiocyanate) tasted spicy because they were either highly acidic or highly basic, and that what you were tasting was an actual chemical burn.
Turns out that they just bind to the protein (TRPV1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRPV1)) that's normally turned on by fire or boiling water and is involved in body temperature. So as far as your senses are concerned, you might as well be lighting matches against your tongue, but you aren't actually causing permanent tissue damage. Allyl isothiocyanate also binds to TRPA1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRPA1), which as far as I can tell exists only to make it painful to eat tear gas and other toxic substances.
Which is good, because I still have 1/3 of the bag left and after you get over the primal burning sensation they're pretty tasty.
Yes, I was gonna mention that, but you beat me to it. To steal from the show Good Eats, our taste buds are kind of like a lock, specific types of compounds unlock specific taste buds, completing a circuit and sending the signal 'salty', 'sweet', 'sour' etc. Capcasin, is like a taste bud hacker and unlocks any taste bud it comes in contact with. That confuses the whole system and the brain responds with 'hot'. Or in some cases, 'HOLYFUCKINGHELLWHATDIDYOUJUSTSTICKINYOURMOUTH, STUPIDMONKEY!'

Nah, that was sheer determination/dehydration leading to poor judgment. I was going to get those cigarettes, goddamn it, I've come this far and I'm sure that hill's summit was just around the corner.
Wasabi isn't even really spicy, it's more like just EXTREMELY pungent. But it doesn't linger.

It's so hot THE PLASTIC CRACKED!

Speaking of durian, I found small bottles of concentrated durian flavoring extract at Fubonn.
Needless to say, I intend to perpetrate unspeakable horrors.
Those are an actual food thing? I saw the whole Durian's at Fubonn and thought they were just there for Mario to have something spiky to throw at turtles and shit.

Wasabi isn't even really spicy, it's more like just EXTREMELY pungent. But it doesn't linger.
That was kind of what I thought. I've never gotten persistent pain from either onion hot or horseradish hot...only pepper hot--which has hospitalized me.

They smell like fresh puke and tastes like fresh puke. Had a Vietnamese friend that absolutely loved the stuff, I couldn't even handle being around it.
Even Andrew Zimmern can't handle Durian fruit... and he eats cheese with live worms in it.

Ladies and not-ladies, this is why it's important to make sure you fully understand what something is before putting it in your mouth. Unless you are Roger.
MAKE SPARE MONEY AT HOME!
:spittake:
That's what the ad said. "MAKE $$$ WORKING AT HOME!"
What they DIDN'T tell me is that the Rotary Club convention was in town, and every last one of those perverts has a thing for jamming fingers in your ear. Now I'm deaf.
THANKS A LOT, OBAMA!

I bought one for a party a few years ago.
PROTIP:
Don't do that.

I actually like it. You just have to master the art of not smelling it while you're tasting it. It sounds like it shouldn't be able to be done, but it can be.

I like it too. But nobody else did. :(

I didn't know they made casu marzu in Nicaragua as well.
Fun fact: Nicaragua has the same disease and life expectancy profile as West Virginia!

There are very few things so revolting that I won't even try them once. Maggot cheese, however, totally fits the criteria.

Yeah, on one level I'd kind of like to try it, but on another level I don't think I could make myself do it.
I've read that you have to wear goggles when you eat it because the maggots jump and if you are unprotected they will jump into your eyes and squirm into your face.
WHY??? - I DONT EVEN WANT TO GOOGLE HOW IT LOOKS LIKE
fuck it, im gonna look it up and pray the real image is better than the unspeakable horror i imagined so i can actually sleep
OH GOD WHY

Haggis is fucking tasty. The other stuff, not so appealing looking

I've heard that too, but I think it's just a myth. I mean, the maggots do jump, but I don't think there's any real risk of them infesting your face or anything. Those happy-looking people in Sardinia weren't wearing goggles.

I like liver, so I like haggis, when it's well-made. I've also had some nasty haggis, and a bad haggis is truly disgusting.
Natto is an acquired taste, but is really no worse than any other fermented food when it comes right down to it. It's better if you think of it more as a condiment than a main ingredient.
Casu marzu, though... well, I feel it is in a category of its own, which is "live animal food". I don't eat a lot of live animals, or really any if you don't count bacteria, and it kind of freaks me out. Culturally, I am also conditioned to be disgusted at the idea of eating terrestrial insects, so that part puts me off quite a bit. However, I would like to try it, if I ever have the chance.

Everybody in Sardinia looks happy anytime they don't have a knife sticking out of them somewhere. If there was a "badass" olympics, they'd be a serious gold medal contender.
Inspired by this thread, I've taken up cheesemaking. My first attempt is inoculating right now.
I did a little research, and Piophila Casei live everywhere in the world.
