In a quest for further info about peppers and heat..
Just wondering if you folks noticed that various peppers heat only
certain areas of the mouth and throat?
It seems to me that..
Tabascos bite the very tip of the tongue, Hungarian Hot Wax peppers seem
to heat more of the front tongue and lip area, serranos only the middle
of the tongue, habs the rear part of the tongue and throat. Certainly
all have different tastes and heat values, but it was curious while
grazing the garden last night a different burn area seemed to also
occur.
Wondering if any of you notice similar experiences?
I would think that it is due to capsaicinoid variations?
just wondering
Chet
