Much as I love spicy foods/hot sauce, this weapons grade shit is just silly.

I once signed a waiver to purchase a spicy chicken sandwich and will never do so again.

I find it hard to understand how a potentially hazardous to health food item is even allowed.

What is this obcession with ever increasing level of spice in food, lately?

Because at some point all the flavour just goes away, replaced by a hefty dose of pain.

I realize I'm a special case, but my nose is essentially non-functionalβ€”I don't smell food. While my sense of taste is more sensitive than your average person, I suspect I still miss out on some kinds of flavour. I believe my impairment is why I am drawn towards strong tastes like cheeses or, indeed, extremely spicy food. They're the "only" flavours that I really experience strongly.

my dad says this same thing but like, capsaicin isn't flavourful, it just hurts?

you can get peppers with loads of flavour and very little capsaicin

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's about the experience for me. I'm not sure how to explain it because it's all subjective. Spice doesn't really hurt me because I have a high tolerance, but it makes me feel... something? Perhaps it's just like when other people eat a bit of wasabi? (I know that wasabi and peppers don't work the same, but it still gives people that "pain" or maybe "kick".)
