I used to be good with spice when I was younger.
My father worked in Thailand for a few months, we where on vacation there when he worked, we used to frekwent this resturant on the beach run by this really nice thai couple, and I would get progressively spicier food, I still remember it, "today 15% spice, ok?", last week we where there it went up to "100% spice!". But that was like... 14 years ago.

Not everyone enjoys the equivalent of a nuclear bomb going off in one's mouth each time they take a bite of something. Most overly seasoned foods are eaten by people who have exceptionally unrefined palates, couldn't tell the difference between similar dishes made with chicken, pork or lamb.

>> No.16109423

>>16109377
There's also a difference between spicy and hot spicy, and the most important thing is a good balance of flavors, not just simple heat - more does not necessarily = better, don't get me wrong, I've had absolutely lovely food that was extremely hot-spicy, but I've also had stuff that was like acid, just tasting of heat and nothing else. I think sometimes amateurs use extreme spiciness to cover up otherwise lackluster, bland food.

I didn't like it until I started eating it regularly. It's just unpleasant when you're not used to it, makes your nose run, burns your mouth, seemingly for no apparent enhancement since you're more focused on all the issues it causes.

Now that I eat it all the time I'm more used to it and so better able to appreciate the enhancements it offers, it's definitely a better way of life, I love spicy food now.

Despite eating spicy food since I was literally a baby (my dad fucked up making my baby food a couple of times), I really didn't like it until my late teens. I always liked the flavour, but it took a while to desensitize. The heat of a dish has almost always been a secondary consideration for me - even then, I only really take care to not overdo it when cooking for my mom's side of the family.

>here, let me pour that hot sauce all over the dish, smothering all of the other flavors
Spices and sauces are great when used sparingly and allowed to interplay. Too much of any spice/sauce easily ruins the dish.
Habitually drowning everything in red pepper is something done by people with unrefined or burnt-out palates, for whom anything below the level of "call the fire department" tastes bland and boring. Niggers do this. Don't be a nigger.

>> No.16113547

just growing up as a supertaster. shit like spicy and bitter, the spice was greater than what others tasted, and I could taste bitter/astringent/other flavours I didn't like in stuff that my family couldn't taste themselves. (think coffee in a chocolate cake, all I could taste was the bitter coffee while others tasted chocolate)

It's usually a bit of both the psychological fear of food that looks spicy but isn't really as hot as you'd think, and a lack of experience with spice. Dull red is much spicier than bright red chilli powder for instance. The traditionally spicy cuisines like Indian are usually nowhere near as spicy as you'd expect them to be given the hype, and most of their food is centred around savoury/sweet flavours anyway.

It depends on the chilies used, which usually depends on the brand. My sketchy indian spice mart and bootleg movie bazaar has half a row of just hot chili powder that they don't know the English names for. Their "Phaal powder" tastes like it's a pretty even mix of habanero, ghost pepper and scorpion - It's fairly orange, but noticeably hotter than their deep red "Jolokia powder".
>Traditionally spicy
There's only been about 500 years for cuisines to develop spiciness. Some places - like the Caribbean and Southeast Asia - have developed very spicy, flavourful peppers. The cuisines as a whole are rarely designed to maim, but there's always a handful of dishes that are designed to hurt.
>Indian
Vindaloo should sting a bit. Phaal should make the overconfident look foolish.

I can handle hot spice but I don't get why it's seen as the epitome as flavour. Food can taste good without making your tongue and mouth hurt and making you sweat a bit.
I avoid it if I can in favour of more flavourful stuff.

Love a decent amount of heat in food, but I'm beginning to think I've developed a capsaicin intolerance. If I eat anything with a sizeable amount of chilis in it, I have horrible constipation the next day, having to agonizingly shit several times over the course of a few hours. I don't even get the asshole burn, it's just like my guts bloat and turn to sludge. I've been stuck on the toilet for over an hour after a particularly spicy order of drunken noodles.
