i like spicy foods but i think anything past the strength of a habanero kinda ruins it and it messes with the flavor of the food

>>18391703
Agreed and food that is only purely spicy is shit

>>18391697
The idea that enjoying overly spicy food equating to manliness is a total joke
The fact that I can't handle spicy food doesn't make me any less of a man
I enjoy what I enjoy and you enjoy what you enjoy
If you like sweating through every pore while eating is what you like, then good for you
If I like shoving random objects up my rectum while I eat non spicy food then good for me

>>18391697
Brown people

It became a manly dare to eat spicy things. All it does is covering up the low quality of the actual food.

>>18391697
indian spicy food is better than american as it uses spices as flavours, and they build rather than just a slap to the face of 'spicy'. i occasionally enjoy making something really spicy but i always end up shitting and farting to death the next few days(such as now after i made way too spicy korean army stew)

>>18391697
>I don't think I ever had a pure spicy food
and you would be correct.

no one has purely spicy food all food (even spicy) has flavor. short of eating straight capsaicin there is no such thing as purely spicy.

>>18391697
well spicy foods were often created historically in order to mask the taste of shit ingredients. but in the year 2022 i don't eat shit ingredients and neither do most people, i eat modern ground beef and chicken breast mixed with rice and broccoli, brussel sprouts, whatever. and i slather it in sriracha, black pepper, and various other bullshit spices. you can say "but le modern chickenz are bad" but they're still nowhere near the goyslop people were eating before the industrial revolution.

point being if you eat a boring clean diet and lift weights like you should if you are a based hyperborean tradwarrior rosicrucian outer space alien from the movie space jam, you can just spam hot sauce and such all over it and WALLAH it's much more edible. you eat fancy foods with cheeses and sauce dollops and that's the reason a real man could kill you with his bare hands in real life.

>>18391924
>well spicy foods were often created historically in order to mask the taste of shit ingredients
not true at all. spicy food were created because people like them only poor people had shitty food and they could not afford spices. rich people didn't eat shitty food.

>>18391932
wrong

townsends channel is full of pleb recipes where it tastes like shit so sailors covered it in black pepper or whatever, most of his recipes are posh shit but he also has a ton of videos about how poor people ate.

>>18391932
Hot spices were traditionally used for their antiparasitic function

>>18391697
Spicy food is pretty much always been to mask the flavor of poor quality food being used or poor cooking/grilling/ect
Same with sauces or using salt on any dish or in boiled water or similar

>>18391939
>sailors
poors thanks for proving me right.

>>18391932
>>18391939
depends on which people and when. Indians? yeah the poor slathered shit in spice, British? the poor couldn't afford the stuff imported from halfway around the globe via wind sails.

>>18391924
>but they're still nowhere near the goyslop people were eating before the industrial revolution.
Masterfully crafted bait.

>>18391949
how the fuck did i prove you right

>only poor people had shitty food and they could not afford spices

they literally could afford spices, watch townsends channel nigger, sailor were eating various spices like it was going out of style. that was my point. when i said rich people back then also ate "goyslop" i just meant they lived in the time before upton sinclair's novel caused such a public outrage that we now have clean meat with nutritional labels on it. before this, meat/animal products in general were a relative wild west.

You ruined it. 3/10.

>*shits aggressively for the next two hours while crying about racism on twitter*
And thats why I don't order the spicy chicken from popeyes, folks.

bump

>>18391697
Every fucking time people tell me their food is spicy, it never is really TOO spicy.

> t. White person. POCs fucking shut up

>>18393246
if you're ordering from an ethnic restaurant they will usually give white people milder food so they dont get complaints from retards

WYATT PPL CANT HANDLE SPICE

>>18393253
Pretty much, they probably had it with folks challenging themselves then demanding dish to be redone and waste food. Seen motherfuckers order stir-fried greens then complain it isn’t vegetables, and wanted corn carrot pea mix

>>18391703
Well some hot sauces are way spicer then habaneros and they still have an amazing flavour, you just have to take less and mix it out in the food

>>18392006
>dominate the entire world for spices
>some nig wants to claim da why peepul don't season their food cause his mama bought expired meat and overseasoned it
nigs are so embarassing

>>18393253
That's a weird meme
Almost every people that order the strongest stuff at my parents restaurant are white dudes under 40 y/o and they love it, been like that for two decades
Are you sure you're not having a laugh?

>>18391697
theres a huge diffrence between cooking with spice and heat vs. slatering your shit in hot sauce or dusting peppered salt on your starches.
many people in us white and colored alike still need to understand this.

>>18391947
Seems like people might've just liked them for their stimulating properties too, similar to people today. Mayans mixed chili peppers into their hot chocolate drinks thousands of years ago, that had nothing to do with antiparasitic functions.

It's fine to hate the culture around it, but eschewing heat in food is intentionally depriving yourself of a whole dimension of the experience. Most dishes are improved if you add at least a little bit of it. After trying out sambal in an omelet I can't go back.
Hot peppers and spices are typically good for you anyway.

I eat extremely spicy food, but what I dislike is that the spicy versions of normal mass-produced foods are often bland, save the spice.
Popeyes mild with some hot sauce on it tastes better than their spicy, for example.
I routinely cook a dish, balado, which has the heat equivalence of a few hundred jalapenos and it's good, so this isn't about not being able to handle the heat. It's about people making shit bland af for some reason.

>Are spicy foods a meme? Ugh they’re just so flavorless!!

>t. White soyboy who can’t handle any sort of spice or heat

>>18391697
>meme foods
what does this even fucking mean? Spicy food has been around since the dawn of man our tongues are literally developed to sense spiciness

>>18394706
This, I prefer my goyslop extra chemically spiced to dab on those racist crakkkerz. Now excuse me while I eat my Flamin’ Hot Goyslop and continue to have zero recipes that call for fresh herbs and spices.

I love spicy wings and a good spicy chili with beans, but my asshole disagrees.

>>18394719
>t. White soyboy doubling down
Love to see it lol.. lmao even

>>18394749
>hotsauce, pre-packaged 711 goyslop, lawrys, old bay
The fabled nigger palate. Tell us some of your favorite recipes. Bonus if it contains anything you can’t find at the local pizza joint. Won’t be holding my breath though, because that’d be racist on account of your delay.

Kudos for not embarrassing yourself with a futile attempt to argue against reality. Don’t let your bruised ego keep you down too long. Takes a big man to know when he’s beat, you’d make a fine slave. Goodbye, and have a great rest of your day.

Thank you for the entertainment

>>18394317
OP here after 24 hours apparently. Surprised to see this thread still up but I really don't mind spice but I absolutely hate when it has no flavor at all. Especially in american recipes that seem to be all heat no substance. Sweet and spicy is a great combo for instance. Meanwhile nigs and other retards in america will just add habaneros to everything with no added flavor and be like "my dish aint shit those damn wyatt ppl can't handle spice" when in reality they just made bland fucking chicken and rice with nothing but spicy ingredients. It's embarrassing and the equivalent to eating nothing but frosting if you enjoy sweet foods.

>spicy foods makes you release endorphins
>endorphins make you feel good
simple as

>>18395133
Has it ever occurred to you that, idk, adding extra heat is just what they genuinely like? For them, that extra habanero is the icing on the cake for them. At this point, there’s more complaints from pussies about “too much heat” and we get it, since people are always screeching about “muh spicyness culture” than not, and it’s embarrassing for the screechers tbqh

>>18395152
This is the point of those meme extract sauces. One drop to a dish doesn't change its flavor but adds lots of heat.

>>18395161
And? Again, if that’s what they like then how does this affect you personally? I genuinely don’t get the point of telling others they can’t enjoy something you can’t.

>>18395178
I'm just saying those sauces are made for that purpose of
>adding extra heat is just what they genuinely like

No retard

>goyslop

Post bod.

>>18391697
A bit of spice makes things interesting, but anything past bird's eye chili is over the top.

white people unironically claim that they don't season their food because they enjoy the "natural taste of food"

can someone explain to me in detail what the fuck the "natural taste" of chicken is? jesus christ

>>18391697
Utterly flaoess spicy food.

LMAO. Carers should not allow 'tards out of Club Penguin.

>>18396151
Cook up some chicken. It's definitely better when it's at least browned a bit, and definitely benefits from some salt, but it does taste pretty good.

Better yet, grab a pack of wings/thighs/both. Dredge them with some flour or other starch (seasoned or not) and deep fry them. Try at least one plain before saucing the others.

>>18391884
Capsaicin extracts exist. I've got one that's about 4 million scoville (so, for the sake of simplicity 25% pure capsaicin, 75% mashed down pepper) - I tried it just to try it, kind of tastes like if someone coated a poblano in black pepper and gave it a quick char. It's definitely meant to be an additive, and comes in handy with chili and wing sauces where the flavour's on but the spice is lacking.
I know Blair's made a nearly pure extract, but that's a little beyond anything I really need to experience.

>>18391697
>I don't think I ever had a pure spicy food that didn't taste utterly flavorless
Thats more on what you get and where you get it from. Spicy food is becoming more popular though which means shitty foods hiding their lack of flavor behind the spice.

>>18396151
I enjoy steamed veggies. They're quick, easy and good for you.

>>18391697
I eat hot shit all the time. You just have to find the perfect heat level, everyone has a different level. Once it gets too hot for you to enjoy the food or even taste the food, it's too hot. I keep pic related in my fridge all the time. It is one of the hottest natural hot sauces in the world. Reaper Squeezins made by Ed Curry's PuckerButt Pepper Co. I live like 30 minutes from his store. It's way too hot to eat on it's own but I like to buy Frank's Red Hot and add a big dollop of Reaper Squeezins to the bottle to kick it up a notch. I have ruined many dishes and hot sauces by adding too much.

>>18393253
This is a psyop to make white men eat noneuropean food...

>>18393253
Just because I look white doesn't mean I want spice FOR whites.

>>18396223
Someone said when you go over 1 million scovilles there is no taste but only pain

>>18393253
nah
in reality every ethnic group says they have the "spiciest" food ever and it will always be the mildest thing in the planet. i can count with my fingers the restaurants i actually went to that were actually fucking spicy in their food

>>18391697
You sound like a massive queermo fag

>>18391924
This is the whitest post I've seen in a long time

>>18397178
thank you

>>18397071
People say a lot of things. We're growing peppers over 1 million these days; they're not as bright and tropical as a habanero, but they definitely have flavour.
If someone's unused to having your TRPV1 receptors tweaked, I could see that sensation being all that they focus on, but it's not running on the same channels as the tastebuds.

>>18391697
nuclear hot spicy food = try hard bullshit meme
spice within your comfort levels = based
but it's subjective because none of our tolerance levels are the same

its ok to like spicy food, but people that think liking spicy food is a substitute for a personality, or the people who think eating a ghost pepper once makes them a manly man even thoough their hobbies involve browsing reddit and that's it, I wish those people would stop existing.

>>18397507
But my personality substitutes run so much deeper than spicy food! I'm an artist, a musician; I work in film sometimes; I cook - that's a thing here right? Fucking hated the restaurants I worked at. I go to the gym sometimes because my own cooking has made me a schlubby sack of shit.

I dunno what to tell you man. 4chins and Plebbit are, and have always been, where personality comes to die.

I have a friend who used to get autistically annoyed about spicy food. He would say people are trying to be macho, that it's stupid to like it, etc. He'd get angry. But he likes spicy food now. It's something that just clicks after you've built up a mild tolerance. So many world cuisines use it. If you can't open yourself up to trying it, to getting used to it and eventually enjoying it, you're missing out.

>>18397624
The endorphins are kind of nice, especially after a particularly crap day when a workout's just not on the table... but there are some flavours you just can't fake. I've been trying to breed the heat out of some of my peppers for a few years now, because my girlfriend's never had more than a bite of most of my Mexican, Caribbean, or Southeast Asian repertoire, unless I've toned it down and killed half the flavour. Galangal, lime, garlic and a quarter of a seeded chili just isn't the same - needs a shit ton of soya sauce or salt, on top of the extra shrimp paste to even try to make up for what's missing.

Chile peppers can add flavor if used correctly. Only problem is a lot of people use it either to mask food, or just douse food in spicy crap because it's supposed to be cool or something

>>18394716
Shit like hot cheetos or fast food places with "HECKIN FLAMIN HOT CHICKEN SANDWHICH" are just marketing ploys

>>18396151
>white people unironically claim that they don't season their food because they enjoy the "natural taste of food"
Who says this? Never heard it in my life
>can someone explain to me in detail what the fuck the "natural taste" of chicken is?
Have you never eaten chicken?
