I still don't understand the pleasure people get from something so spicy it should be illegal lol. Is it just a fetish or quirk that you like to have a severe burning throat and tongue?
I ask that because the few times I've tried some mega spicy foods, there was no taste what so ever, just burning.
Which reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons when the kids get stranded on the Island and Wiggum's(sp?) son eats the berries and says "It tastes like...burning!"
Well I don't go for pure burn like some, you go on youtube and you'll see people downing spoonfuls of insanely hot stuff, and thats overdoing it.
They even sell pure capsaicin, 16 million scoville units(tabasco is 2500)... And I don't understand it.
Our chili will be hot, extremely so, but when you get used to the burn, it actually brings out flavours, sort of like msg on acid.
Plus it does release some endorphins, which is always nice.
