I guess it all depends on how you choose to look at it. Sure there are a lot of spicy hot peppers out there; but there are also some sweet ones, like green bell peppers.
@Nightweaver20xx
Capsaicin is basically meant to deter animals and outright kill fungus, so only birds (that taste them as sweet instead) eat the peppers and spread the seeds. Humans just eat them because we’re insane XD
For the record, by the way, pure capsaicin is 16 million Scoville units, which is the stuff they put in police-grade pepper spray. If you eat pure capsaicin, you will go into anaphylactic shock and die.

I’m guessing reaper is hotter than scorpion? I can only tolerate so much heat before needing to switch to a dragon form. I can barely handle habenaro and ghost pepper.
@Nightweaver20xx
Nope, but if you want an angry anus you just have to order the Carolina Crime of Passion. Made with cheese, bacon, and a sauce made of Carolina Reaper peppers. You probably don’t want to dare eating it unless you’re a dragon. Comes with your choice of fries, onion rings, or baked gemstones for a side, and a first aid kit :D

Discord DID intend to do that to try and teach Twilight a lesson, but his only motivation for trying to teach her a lesson in the first place is because he thought it would be funny XD
@Badumsquish
Twilight is still skittish around Kalianne, even after spending time on the other side of things? I guess her fascination with Alicorns and her fondness for giving hugs still sends Twi into panic mode.

The way I see it is the ponies don’t have an issue eating meat, but eating sapient meat is cannibalism to them and nearly all the animals (cows, chickens, pigs, etc) are all fairly sapient so their options are pretty limited. We’ve seen Fluttershy feed fish to ferrets and Rarity’s dad fishing (presumably for food), and not to mention more than a few sandwiches with suspiciously meat-like things in them so I think there’s some level of meat-eating that goes on in canon :D
I headcanon though that outside of Equestria such animals aren’t and are just normal animals like in our world, so eating their meat isn’t taboo. Even kirins and lamias (both I headcanon are carnivores) normally don’t kill sapient animals for meat, and the ones that do would be considered murders and cannibals. Most ponies don’t have a taste for meat since they don’t normally get it, but Twilight craves it from her Equestria Girls adventures and imports it from outside of Equestria; Twiggles gave some to GMHAA purely out of fear that if she didn’t, Kalianne would come to her asking for some XD
@Badumsquish
I headcanon that ponies are capable of eating meat, they just choose not to.
And also anyone with changeling in their DNA don’t mind meat either.
