Thoughts on spicy food?

[junior_duck]

Lots of people love spicy food but how are you supposed to enjoy it the taste of it when your tongue constantly feels like its on fire?
How do you remedy the spiciness?

You get used to it. Spicy food is the best.

I can't live without spicy food.

I used to go spicy just to see how hot I could tolerate. It kind of ruined a part of my digestive system. So now if its spicy it should be flavor over kick.

I never get used to it, I just sometimes enjoy it and try to ignore the pain. And eating bread and drinking milk can help with the spiciness.

I like spicy food a lot. The spice itself need to have a good flavor and it makes the food much better.

One time at a Chinese restaurant with some good pepper pork I was getting overwhelmed so I picked up a cucumber and then comedy ensued. (t'wasn't a cucumber)

Good spice doesn't taste like burning nor make your tongue on fire.

It might make you sweat, but if the taste is hurting you, then you need to slowly adjust to the level of spice you mean to consume...

I love me some spice, but one thing I noticed is that the good spices in say, Indian food, are much more palatable than eating an entire family size bag of flaming hot cheetos in one sitting, for example. And I think flaming hot cheetos are delicious, just only in small doses.

But if you're a spice wimp, then just keep a glass of milk nearby. But if you don't enjoy spice, then don't bother, it might just not be for you.

I love spicy food, it's really good. Spicy Ribs, chicken wings, and takis. I love them all

nothing wrong with a little pain if it's tasty

I like spicy up to a point. Fresh habanero pepper by itself is far past what I wish to tolerate. I also won't tolerate spicy food which causes bad bathroom experiences. I do like a tiny bit of hot sauce added to some things like a spagetti sauce. Hot fries though, those can be love.

Still I much prefer spicy over sour, which is my least favorite of all the tastes. Bitter and sweet being my favorites.

Though sweet and sour is great, you know the soup or flavor packet.

I've heard of people having a bad case of spicy ♥♥♥♥♥ but throughout all of my life eating spicy food, I've never had a bad bathroom experience from spice. I don't know the pain people are referring to.

Guess I'm lucky? All this talk of spice, I think I'm gonna order some Indian food tomorrow. :-)

People tend to over do it. I can and once ate some of the spiciest food there ever was, but I was just showing off, most of it wasn't very good.

[DarkCrystalMethod]

You ruin your small intestine. Those little things that suck up the vast amount of nutrients... they break off and don't grow back. This is THE reason I stopped going hardcore.

Good mythical mornings did a good episode of youtube before where they tried all the hotest foods they could find. It was a good watch. Sometimes it feels good to hurt, but not like how much they are in the video lol.

I'd worry about seriously damaging my digestive system. Which has to last everyone the rest of their lives.

Yes, please. My favorites are chipotles and prik kee noo suan.

I generally don't care for overhopped IPAs, but they pair with spicy stuff perfectly.
