It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Think of what they will do to themselves if Sichuan peppercorns ever get really popular. They will create a tasteless chip with so much numbing power it will cause permenent jaw paralysis.

Ok real talk if one could concentrate and preserve the active chemical in sichuan peppercorns in a sauce that would actually be amazing. It's so hard getting the right amount cooked just enough, not to mention how they lose their potency pretty rapidly. Just being able to splash some sauce into a bowl of soup or drizzle it over a dish with whatever other seasoning sauces one wants would be so nice.

Unfortunately AFAIK it's too volatile and delicate for that.

My sibling in spice, it is my great pleasure to introduce you to chili crisp. Lao Gan Ma, Momofuku, Blank Slate Kitchen, Fly By Jing...

Fuck those are all expensive as hell. Guess I'm stuck grinding the peppercorns in a mortar and pestle whenever I can get them at a discount.

If you're getting szechuan chili sauces, go for the bean one. Blows the chili crisp out of the water (and it is cheaper).
