    Does anything beyond habaneros taste good at all or do they just burn for the sake of it? I know habaneros taste amazing and so do the ones before that, but I have never tried the rest of them.

      I recently took a tiny nibble of a ghost pepper. It was pretty tasty, a bit sweet with a fruity, fleshy flavor somewhat similar to habaneros. Then I was overwhelmed by an intense, deeply primal feeling of anxiety and fear, followed by every mucous membrane in my face starting to scream as their flood gates opened.
