Never understand the appealing of extremely spicy foods. You can barely taste any flavor behind the hotness, you're torturing yourself and causing literal harms to your intestines and guts microbes for a pack of fuckin instant noodles.
a pain tolerance builds up fast and people like the endorphin high that comes with the intense heat.
Saw a guy on YT eating hot wings with some sauce that's rated like a million scoville, then the dude wipe his tear with his hands.
Poor dude, but the endorphins must have felt great.
Are you able to parse the difference between people who eat hot food because they enjoy it, and people who don't normally eat hot food being fed extremely hot food for YouTube clicks?
I'm a chili head and find the sweet spot between 200-500k scoville when you go much higher, it's basically just to see if you can do it.
I've tried so many spicy things and I have the same thoughts. The hottest thing that still retains flavors, imo, is a habanero. I've tried tons of peppers and the sauces featured on Hot Ones and, yeah they are certainly hot; but there's not really any nuance and anything you put them on will taste entirely like the sauce. Even with just a dab.
My ex could barely taste the heat so they loved everything crazy hot by normal standards.
Not everyone has extreme reactions to it.
The 1x is super tasty, but yeah after that it's just hot it doesn't taste better. Dick measuring at that point
It's a dick measuring thing.
Is anyone who enjoys something that you don't measuring their dick, or does it have something to do with the inherent double entendre related to noodles?
I mean, when I eat spicy things I'm not even thinking about my genitals; I'm enjoying my food.
I never said I don't enjoy spicy food. But it's so obviously a dick measuring contest for most people. No one talks about how much salt they can "handle", no one makes fun of people for not being able to stomach a really sweet energy drink. But with capsaicin it's so prevalent, it's a whole subculture dedicated to pissing in a line. I mean this whole thread is only popular because the initial proposed underlying thought is "haha, Denmark can't handle spice". It's all very juvenile.
It also clashes a bit with how I understand enjoying food. I get that you can maybe build up a tolerance to capsaicin that's different to a "sugar tolerance", but typically I don't go for the food with the most sweet flavor or the most smoky flavor just because I like those specific flavors. Why, following a similar logic there would be a smoked food challenge where people eat fucking charcoal, no?
me, looking down at my pants Ohhhhh, so that's why I've never felt the need to do any of that, I eat my noodles normally and I drive a subcompact, if you know what I mean. ;)
Yeah, I get it. You're cordless, right?
Yeah, no cord. Just a huge battery attached.
