    Western food ideology treats spicy food as like an extreme sport and not a general component of flavour, so you get people who won't eat anything remotely spicy at all and you get people who want it to be as unpleasant as possible as some kind of experience. People who are just normal about appreciating food spiciness and flavour seem to be the minority.

      It's especially stupid now that reapers exist because those fuckers are delicious for the 0.22s before your tongue shuts down.

        That's why I like some of that spicy Thai chili paste. Sambal... something. I basically need off the next day, but it's so worth it.
