I have a chocolate Trinidad scorpion plant in my garden. The chiles have been ripening and so I have so far made a Louisiana style hot sauce with two of the scorps and 8 red jalapeños. Absolutely addictive. Made a batch of chili today and let it simmer all afternoon. Made it as I normally do but added one chocolate scorpion. Was afraid it would be inedible but found it to be at the perfect threshold of pleasure and pain. Top notch endorphin rush. Would recommend.
For those of you that love spicy food but have unfortunate digestive consequences, I have learned a bit of a biohack. Take psyllium husk fiber right before and after spicy meals. A glass of milk or bowl of ice cream is a bonus. It binds the capsaicin and puts much less stress on the butthole.
