Ill never understand people like this. Sure, very spicy food is tasty but at some point you have to acknowledge that the actual flavor of pure capsaicin is not very good, you're just destroying the flavor profile of the dish.

This isn't about flavour. It's about sending a message
I keep picturing this comment on other posts & it is doing my head in.
It has an endorphin release and people get addicted.
It can be a bit of a high. Mouth in pain but mind is like woah.
Spicy food + beer makes my head feel all tingly
In my 20s I thought I was a strong chilli eater, then I tried some local spiced food and found my limit, it's not fun when you shudder and get cold sweat from eating.
Now I add chilli until it's a bit hot and I can enjoy the flavour of the pepper fruit, and the food.
I can handle spice.
My issue with most super hot food is that it tastes like absolute shit.
Everything above a habanero starts to taste more and more like eating mace.
I like a drop or two of a hot sauce with Trinidad scorpion, and there you taste both the chilli fruit but still plenty of hotness. The problem is finding that same sauce again.
From the "make him regret being born" instructions, I'm guessing this is someone ordering for some fool who was either bragging about thier spice resistance or talking shit about Thai food not being spicy.
The cenobites from hellraiser lovingly made all of my school lunches growing up, and now mouth-numbing pain makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Pad thai isn’t even that spicy. Who’s ordering a super spicy pad thai?
