you can just say season 8, but why would you, when a "a shit of ice and fire" is available as drop-in replacement?

Gonna start using "season 8" as a euphemism for a particularly bad shit now. "Brb, gotta produce season 8..."

I wanted to try this, but I dont exactly have a menthol source :/

(Or do I?)

Edit: I have a mint mouthwash and spicy cheese paste, hmmm

Edit2: Well, I took half the dosage of the moutwash and did a flush and then ate the cheese paste with the bread. I dont know if it was the fact that I didnt use enough mouthwash, but the experience was kinda mediocre.

At first the spicy didnt register, but that might be because for spicy cheese paste it takes a little time to feel the burn. I think I could feel both the icy and the spicy sensations, depending on where I focused, but it wasn't something amazing (or intense, but that's probably because both sources were mild). I think the taste that lasted the most is the sweetener from the mouthwash.😅

Maybe one day I'll make my cherry juice with menthol and capsaicin.

Lol, I think other stuff I eat regularly could fit there (slice of cheese with bisquit or tsoureki)🤭

Idk what bisquit is but tsoureki is made of dough and anything made out dough is a natural pairing to cheese.

Oh wait, I meant sour cherry😅

And no, I think I don't usually put anything extra inside my juice, but I'm thinking of making something fancy.

I also have some syrup I could try adding🤔

Apple juice is nice to do mix. You can do cold infusion with spice or blend everything. Anything that goes in pumpkin spices goes well with apple juice. You can also blend fresh ginger.

As someone who loves hot sauce and smokes menthols, I'm dubious. Maybe my hot sauce is too hot, but it will completely negate the menthol. I haven't tried it with Altoids or anything, but I don't know...

We mammals, and only we mammals, have nerve receptors capsaicin triggers. Birds don't have such receptors. They happily chow peppers and poop the whole seeds all over.

Meanwhile, we mammals, who are supposed to hate the heat because we grind the seeds to death, have happily bred hotter and hotter peppers and spread them all over the planet.

I know of no such evolutionary win-win as peppers have pulled off. Genius.

Years ago I did a different version: getting out of a very hot jacuzzi then jumping into a snow bank. 'Worth a try. Once.

Because our brains are amazing and can just fill out the missing word while reading. It sometimes makes us miss obvious errors like that.

I'm love to experience with different heat sensation when cooking. Every pepper is warming slightly differently and you can change the whole tasting experience by change the "heat source" of a dish. Recently, I've tasted Sichuan pepper and it what actually cold! And a cold very different from mint. Although round-leave mint and pepper mint (here another plant called pepper that's cold!) have different sensation as well. I should try experiment with cold as well (*_*)

Spearmint would be good too if you're going for a slightly sweeter, less intense flavor than peppermint!

I didn't know the english name but this one is very good. A nice balance or freshness and flavor.

According to this theory, if I make Buldag ramen using boiling Listerine, it will be tasteless.

In a very traditional Afghan restaurant I used to frequent, if you ordered something really spicy, they'd bring you these small mint drops afterwards to chew on, no extra charge. Worked very well for me.

After reading this, for some reason, the phrase "cryogenic hellfire" lives rent-free in my brain.
