Apparently the reason I didn't feel anything but a burning sensation is that it was the Turkish pepper. Maybe there are other variants of the thing? As it were, I'd consider it attempted murder if anyone gave me those again.
"Within seconds of putting one in my mouth, an intense, sharp, stinging pain spread across my tongue, as if somebody had sandpapered it and then poured salt on top.
After the pain came the salty sourness and I could not stop salivating. I had to spit it out."
It must be a genetic distaste for those things. Pity.
Black candy is good. Pepper-filled candy, whatever the colour, is not.
