Is it? I haven't tried it yet, as there's not a KFC anywhere within 20 miles of either my house or my work, but I really want to give it a shot.

Meh, I wholeheartedly disagree, but it is better than Chick-Fil-A's. "God's Chicken" has to be the most overrated fast food restaurant of all time.

I have wanted to try that but there is zero chance that I can get a freshly prepared one at a KFC in my neck of the woods.

I'll probably try it, but I'm prepared to be disappointed with their version of "hot."

[Halfcan]

Looks great- will try!

[crayzkirk]

Like all fast food, it looks great on the commercial... I try to avoid it unless I need some for hangover relief. Something about greasy food with that fake cheese seems to really help a hangover.

The last time I ate at Arby's, I have no idea what was in that 'roast beef'. never had beef like that before unless it was in chipped beef on toast.

I love the Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sammich with extra sauce.

I went to Arby's for the first time in probably a few years this week, and I ordered their jalapeno wrap and a jalapeno beef slider. The heat on both of those were pretty good. Excited to try this new thing.

I eat Arby's once a year, on my Birthday which is Feb 7th, so if is around then, I will try it.

Nope.

Don't understand the hot torture thing.

Just yesterday I took a big scoop of green salsa from our taco order thinking it was tomatillo. turns out it was jalapeño.

So damned spicy I was eating milk, sugar etc trying to get that outta my mouth. I said "damn I hope I never get pepper sprayed because I just might lay down and voluntarily die."

The fascinating thing is that for real pepperheads, a jalapeno is actually pretty low on the capsaicin scale with regards to heat. Compare the jalapeno with it's feistier orange cousin, the habanero. The levels vary wildly. And this scale doesn't even really touch any of the nutso hybrid peppers well above the Ghost pepper. Granted, this scale is a really rough estimation because actual peppers can vary wildly on actual capsaicin levels depending on a bunch of different factors. Regardless, as you can see by the chart if fast food places were using actual "Ghost peppers" they would have customers passing out in the lobby. Ghost pepper is the hottest thing I've ever had, and it was pretty insane. Hard to describe, it's a heat that just racks your whole body and you wish you could die. But your brain thinks you're actually on fire and dying, so it pumps out all kinds of happy chemicals. Like other reward mechanisms, it makes you want more.

I grow ghost peppers every year and add just 1 to a 12 qt pot of chili - gives it plenty of heat.

The thing about ghost peppers that's maddening in some ways is that they're GOOD. The flavor is just outstanding. I don't care for Habaneros and rarely use them in anything because all I taste is that smoke flavor on the front end. But man ghost peppers bring a lot to the party. But because they're so damn hot, you can't use many of them.

Jalapenos are funny - I've had some that are bland as bell peppers and some that have had me run screaming for any milk I could find. And seemingly off the same plant.

I grow Ghost Peppers and Carolina Reapers. Ghost pepper is good but Reapers have an incredible taste for about 2 seconds then wham.

What do you use the peppers in?

Yeah, definitely agree with the ghost pepper flavor. I think that's why you see so many fast food type places offering ghost pepper this and that. They add a touch of the flavor, and just reduce the heat down to palpable for the masses.

My introduction to ghost pepper was taking a straight up bite out of the side of one holding the stem. Big mistake. I mean, I like to think I have a pretty high tolerance compared to most.. It was an experience. Heart rate pumping. You can feel the burn travel down your body. Absolutely nothing to top that heat once it plateaued. But at the same time, it was a helluva rush. The second time I tried it, I didn't take nearly as much, but it didn't feel like half the heat of the first time. Had several peppers since that were supposed to be hotter than ghost pepper, but still didn't compare to that initial bite. The randomness is part of the thrill I guess...
