Food, capsaicin
Members of my extended family will be doing a hot chip challenge on Saturday and today I learned that boiled egg yolks are amazing for fast neutralization of #capsaicin. However, that leaves us with the need to offer something similar for a participant who is vegan. Is there a plant-based alternative that works as well?

@reinderdijkhuis This is second-hand knowledge, but $veganPartner has told me in the past that anything fatty in nature should work quite well, and very many of the vegan replacements for non-vegan things are fatty AFAIK
Food, capsaicin
@joepie91 egg yolk (fat percentage >25%) performs spectacularly at this task and it's hard to find vegan substitutes that are quite as fatty and also have the texture that seems to allow for quick absorption of capsaicin into the food. I'm gonna try with a mix of blended raw cashew nuts with coconut milk, colored with turmeric and lightly inoculated with P. Roqueforti for a bit of tang.
