They are looking at you weird because you are literally just walking up to random people and talking about how you but hot peppers in your stew. Also you haven't bathed in what seems like months.

I genuinely don't enjoy spicy food, so yeah you are weird.

I want food to be comforting, not difficult and unpleasant to eat.

I know you get coolpoints for enjoying really spicy food but in the end it isn't worth it.

Except I find spicy food pleasant to eat, especially when it's fucking cold outside. After shoveling huge piles of snow and smashing ice with a shovel, nothing beats a hot, spicy stew to warm you back up.

Spicy is literally an essential part of the pallet. It's like saying I don't like salt.

'spicy' doesn't improve any food at all. some peppers have good flavor, but we need to breed them until they have no 'heat'.

>Not everyone can handle spicy foods, but for those of you who love the stuff, there’s a good reason behind the obsession.
>When capsaicin – the chemical in spicy foods that makes them so hot, Hot, HOT – hits your tongue, your body registers the sensation as pain. This in turn triggers the release of endorphins, otherwise known as “happy” chemicals that give you an instant head-to-toe feeling of pleasure.

You're probably baiting, but there's a sweet point of heat. Where it has a nice hotness, but you don't feel the need to quench the fire in your mouth.
Similar to salt in food vs making food a brine.
Slight tang in sauce vs eating a lemon whole.
Unfortunately, that point is so individual that discussions where it should be (white flyover food vs meme hot sauces) always devolve into shitflinging.

Spiciness is degenerate, spiciness is anti-white. I don't mean to say that in any trivial way. In what it represents, spiciness is degenerate. What it means to spice up your food is to cause yourself agitation. To agitate your tongue. To cause you pain. To cause you a sensation, this new sensation, you might start shifting in your chair like "aah! that's hot!"

Here's the thing about spice, once you go from spicing food to making food spicy you've crossed into the realm of degeneracy. You're gonna be welcomed by Arab sheikhs and fucking la cucaracha dances. I don't mean this as a joke. If spicy food is something you enjoy then it's a sign of a degenerated spirit.

And it's these mud races that are so obsessed with spicy food, they're obsessed with agitation. They live in these climates where it's just sand, blowing in the wind. Or they might live in a muddy tropical forest where it's all gooey and slop-slop everywhere; it's constantly changing. But in the far North, what do we have? We have ice. There we have a true symbol. A way to orient ourselves, I suppose you'd say.

Spice is really a symbol of total decadence. If you enjoy causing pain to yourself, why is that? It's a thirst for total agitation that these lowers races are so much more... It's so much more sensual than the Hyperborean race. And it's not a plus. Hyperboreans have the true strength. Ice is strong. Sand you can just throw it to the wind, or you know... Disgusting... you can step on some mud, throw it away. You can disperse it easily. But you have to smash ice.

So don't eat spicy food from a fucking salsa bowl, drink from the cool ice of your hyperborean ancestors.

I sure like it, a couple chocolate habaneros or scotch bonnets is great in a stew or chili. Not just for heat but to add flavor as well.

If you don't include spicy peppers in it can you even really call it a 'GOOD' stew?

No, you can't.
