• When I was young, I used to eat whatever food showed up, and some of that were spicy foods. Several times they were a little hot for me, but I was taught to eat the food I was given, so whatever. There are only a few spicy things that I tolerate nowadays; like wasabi for example, but for the most part I try and avoid them. I just don't get what's so great about spicy foods. I get that it tastes better spicy for some people, and that's an honest excuse. However, when the tongue is burning, the eyes are tearing up, the face is sweating and turning red, I question how appealling it really is. I get this impression that people go through all that trouble and pain, just to prove how "tough" or "badass" they are by eating such a spicy food. It's like a badge of honor or some crap like that. That better not be the case, because that's just stupid. I personally like eating food that goes down easy for me with no hassle. I consider really spicy stuff a hassle, so it's really not worth it for me to choose "el scorcho grande" flavor, if at the end my tongue is so burned up that I can't even taste anything, and I like to eat food so I can taste it.
