    If you’d like to experience the numbing flavor and have a good Chinese restaurant nearby, I’d recommend ordering a dish called “mapo tofu”. It’s a numbing kind of spice that is quite different from traditional flavors of spiciness.

      I cook with szechuan peppercorns a fair bit already, it’s a really fun flavour.

      (Also really good for stopping panic attacks! The sensation of eating a szechuan peppercorn really brings you back to your body as it’s so intense.)
