      They actually have really great flavor underneath the heat. I did a beer infusion years ago with jalapeño and IPA that wasn’t spicy at all but had a delicious peppery taste.

      In my experience the spicier jalapenos are also the tastier ones so I have a hard time imagining how this works.

      I mean, I also probably wouldn’t eat the spicy stuff if I didn’t love the flavor - I’m not suffering just for bragging rights! So I’d definitely be down for trying something like the coolapenos here, just would be going into it with some skepticism that it’s anything more than a mild pepper with the mild flavor they produce.

        I didn’t know I liked jalapenos until recently and someone brought me a burger with them.

        Holy shit I wish I could handle that heat regularly.

          You can! You just have to train your body to accept it by regularly eating spicy things.

          Good for you for reevaluating your tastes. I try things I think I dislike every few years to see if I still dislike them. Sometimes it turns out my tastes have changed and they’re great!

          Oh yeah my favorite is a plain cheeseburger with fresh sliced jalapenos. So yummy.
