Spice Ranking

Spice Ranking

Spices can differ depending on people’s tastes but this ranking is to give you an idea of how I define each dish or recipe on this blog and how spicy it would be for you. I chose chilli sauces, peppers and establishments with various choices on the menu that I am familiar with so I would recommend taking a look at the pepper scale to find out what kind of dishes you want to eat or recreate.

Scotch Bonnet

The ultimate spice. Eat with extreme caution.

CoCo Ichibanya 10辛
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

From the look of the dish, it’ll be a peppery challenge.

Habanero
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

High level of spice. An immediate fiery taste once you take a bite into this dish.

Sichuan
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

A spice that tingles and burns your tongue more than your throat.

Vindaloo
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

More deadly and peppery than it seems.

Gochujang

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Medium level of spice. The peppery flavour lasts much longer than usual.

Sriracha
🌶️🌶️🌶️

More sweet than spicy and can linger a little. You can eat in larger doses in your food.

Nandos Peri-peri

🌶️🌶️

A little tingle of heat but not even a kick.

Wicked Zinger
🌶️

Standard level of spice. Equivalent to what you find peppery from fast food.
