I don't get what people see in torturing themselves. Perhaps a lot of them are into sadomasochism.

Maybe spicy foods hurt for you, but for other people it's a completely different sensation. Different people have different tolerances.

For the thrill man, the thrill.

Also I heard tacos are made from ground up Mexicans. They taste amazing and go well with hot sauce for whatever reason!

What are you going on about..? Spicy food is fantastic, it's honestly the best stuff ever. I'm addicted to spicy food and sugar so I got a whole spectrum range of flavor to say this. You have to eat within your range of spicy food though, you can't just never eaten spicy food and then bite into a jalapeno, but if you eat jalapeno and cayenne peppers regularly, they're just delicious!! I heavily spice most my food, most of my friends can't eat from the same dish as me, they keep saying it's too dangerous? (O~o) Yo no comprendo mis amigos.

It just adds a extra kick to the overall flavor of the meals but it does suck when it's so spicy you can bearly eat it all... Zaxby's to damn costly for the hotwings.

When you eat spicy food, your brain thinks you're in pain, so it releases endorphins to help you cope with it. The endorphins make you feel good, like in chocolate or heroin.

Is that legit? I almost believe it but I honestly think spicy food takes delicious, I can hardly pair pain with it

I'd rather it be spicy and exciting than bland and boring.

Enjoy your porridge or whatever it is people who can't stand spicy food eat.

No, your brain just thinks you're in pain because it tingles the same nerves that make you feel make.

I'm stoked. Since I've been starving for the last 2 hours and haven't gotten up, and now feel right to go eat a mound of spicy food. <3

It's very good to have, and makes bland food taste bolder and gives it a bit more pizazz.

Spicy food is my favorite food and i can tell you now that it effects everyone in a differant way.
Just cause you can't eat it cause its to hot doesn't mean nobody can.

Well, there doesn't really need to be a reason when it comes to personal preference does there? I could ask the same thing, but with a different format.

Why do you like eating Icecream? That's weird

You could easily reply that you like icecream because it tastes good, or something.

I fucking hate ice cream. Mainly because I can't eat dairy, but it's still gross. How could you do this me?!?!

My favorite time to eat spicy foods is when I have a cold. I don't eat super spicy stuff though.

What tastes better? A nice freezing cold beer frothing with carbonation, or a flat piss warm beer? Both contain the same ingredients and include the same flavors. The only real difference is the sensation it creates on your tongue. In this case it is the difference between a delicious refreshing beverage and something that tastes like piss. That tingling of carbonation on your tongue is not a flavor, but it somehow makes it taste good.

It works the same way with spicy foods. The spiciness doesn't change the flavor but that tingle on your tongue is what makes the food more enjoyable. If you remove the spice it just tastes bland. But the spice adds a whole new dimension to the food. It's not a flavor, it's a sensation but it changes the whole dish.

How awesome is it when you're all bunged up and you eat something spicy and it clears that shit up :)

Why do people eat sweet foods?
Salty foods?
Bitter foods?
Sour foods?

I like spicy food, but only because I like it.

It's just a feeling, just as some people like sweet food more, or salty food.

I just remembered something that's really fun because I just did it. It's called a hot sauce bomb, and it's when you have a burrito with a closed end, then fill up the end of it when you're almost done eating it with hot sauce and eat it. Try it, it's amazing.

This. I mean really, it's so damn good. I could eat spicy shit until I burned a hole in my stomach, despite that I sweat bullets when I do.

God, maybe I do enjoy torturing myself.

I always put ghost peppers on my burgers, or I don't eat.

It's only torture when you eat an extremely spicy food or put way too much spice on a food. I fucking love spicy food.
