So... The more spices you eat the more tolerant your taste buds get to spicy food, so much that regular spicy seems bland.
So my guess is overly spicy food is aimed at people who have destroyed their taste buds but still want to experience spicy 😂
Pain is just weakness leaving the body
Especially when it still burns on the way out 😭😂
It tastes good, depending on your palette. You also become tolerant. My regular chili will make people cry. I've been accused of making it that hot to hurt people before 🥵🤣
Are you perhaps from a Nordic country? I've often noticed they aren't huge spicy food eaters. I had to overcome my Norwegian heritage to become a spicer.
I tell my wife I'm developing an immunity. I don't fuck with pure cap, but I regularly put a drop of this shit on my food
The more it burns going in the more it burns coming out
Spicy is good when it has flavor, like from peppers and the real food in it. The extract to make food unbearably spicy is gross.
I cooked at a restaurant long ago. Had a bottle of this for "wing connoisseurs".
Do. Not. Mess around with this stuff 🥵😭🤣
🤢 the stuff that ruins food.
pure crap*
It's the only time I've cried from food. A customer wanted the hottest wings. He ate one 🥵 I took a bite myself, just to see, and ran back through the kitchen to run my mouth under the sink for a few minutes. Not good eats 😂
It’ll clean your blood and keep you cool in hot climates.
At least, that’s what I tell myself.
Spice induced sweating to cool you off 😃
It’s more like a psychedelic
Releases endorphins and other mood enhancing chemicals. Capsaicin is also super rich in Vitamin C and has been shown to even have potential cancer-killing agents.
It's similar to a runner's high, without the running.

for shorter people, would that be a runner's medium?
There's a travelling fortuneller, same idea
idk man people do all kind of crazy shit from accupunture to cold showers, running marathons to swimming in ice water.
you ever meet a pro skydiver? now those mfers are NUTS
It's just like pizza with a lot of toppings, some people need more than cheese. 🧀 😂
I wish I could, but it's just delicious.
You build up tolerance.
Also if it's spicy enough you actually get a drug like effect, a euthoric feeling.
Whole body feels warm and fuzzy while you're sweating buckets.
Imagine MDMA but no love and no energy etc.
Just the sweating and the euthoria and mild fever symptoms.
It happened the first time I tried vindaloo.
It made me high.
The spicy that creeps up and burns more and more over time is usually the type that does it.
But only because the stuff that's immediately hot is difficult to eat enough
I didn’t until I lived in Mexico for a year.
Then it became a lifestyle enhancement.
You learn to taste different spices and crave them.
My fave is currently the sichauan pepper in Chong Qing hotpot. It tastes like licking a battery.
But yeah it’s a whole new palette + it makes you feel really good. It’s a bit like drinking really good tea in terms of endorphins or feeling when you get a really good spice on.
it is used in places with hot climate to mask the smell of rotting meat
many spices inhibit fermentation also
the thing that makes it smell the worst is the release of ammonia and ammoniac compounds, second worst factor is the decay of the fatty acids, which get that acrid, rancid smell, the two things together, ammonia and rancid fats, is more or less the signature of "rotting dead bodies" you can't really make it go away entirely. it's always been a thing i've noticed in some houses and some kitchens and not others, if they have bad ventilation and fry a lot of meat the walls get coated in condensed grease that oxidises rapidly.
it aint much of a food, as it is a sensory activator
You build up a tolerance over time, so what's overly spicy to you might be fine for others.
having grown up in potatoland
i'll tear up with enough salt and pepper
I think it triggers endorphins
spices are very good for your metabolism amongst other things. I never really thought why I love it bcoz I grew up having them. Until I moved to the UK, only then I realised how much I took for granted spicy food.
It adds flavours to the food. As people mentioned, you build tolerance little by little. I do not recommend spicy food that obliterate your tastebuds — that's not how you enjoy spicy food. Try the most mild one (0.5 chilli) and build it from there. Once you build tolerance, you will never go back and see food differently ☺️👏
