Hungry? Addicted to drugs?
Dip a chip nice and deep in Batch #37 Salsa Habanero Garlic and eat it. After you're done screaming and you've had some milk, doesn't the world just seem like a mellower, better place?
You do get a high off hot sauce and salsa, and it's a natural high. The capsaicins trick the nerve endings in your mouth, nose, and throat into thinking you've just singed yourself. Your brain, eager to please, responds by releasing endorphins. It's the same high some people jump out of airplanes, climb mountains, or run marathons to get. Righteous, dude!
And learn about the Scoville scale, my favorite unit of measure.
