Not gonna lie, I think a modest amount of spice actually perks up a dish and adds a lot to it. But once you start sweating, eyes watering, etc., you're probably just a retard that wants to look cool.

[Anonymous No.16883203]

>>16883145
the problem is that the language we use for "spice" and "heat" overlap.
if something is hot, it can mean that it has an elevated temperature. or it can mean that it causes the sensation of burning on the tongue like that from chili peppers.

if something is spicy, that can mean it has an abundance of spices. a gingerbread cookie could be described as spicy, or a cup of tea infused with spices could be as well.
or, it could refer to the sensation of burning on the tongue like that from chili peppers.

i think in general, when people say something is "spicy" they are explicitly meaning the burning sensation from chili peppers.
rarely does someone refer to a well-marinated steak as "spicy", even if it has a lot of spices on it.

Not him, but there's a middle ground where the meat is no longer safe or palatable but not ROTTEN rotten that the advocates of that theory may be referring to. I still find that whole idea suspicious. The limeys claim that's why the French like sauces so much, too, and it doesn't hold much more water for me there.

I'm pretty sure that chilis were not used to cover up the taste of questionable meat in any capacity, though. They were used to preserve meat and/or had antibacterial properties.

There's plenty of varieties of the Carribbean peppers with the heat bred out for people like you.
Downside is that you can't buy them at a grocery store. Unless you got access to some kind of farmer's market with some chile enthusiast selling there you'd have to resort to growing your own.

Why did people start to eat hot peppers? I think it is because most relatively isolated communities back in the day mainly ate boring repetitive subsistence level shit. In the right climate they grow really well too. It is also a 'taste' which stores/preserves/travels really well, you can dry it out and make a brick of peppers for trade/storage. I think when you were relatively so isolated it was easier to develop these small localised identities, almost tribal, but like ... the people from over that side of the hill mainly eat spicy food that is their thing and it marks them and forms a big part of their identity and our local lore. But yeah if it was rice and beans for dinner every day for 50+ years I'd sure as shit want some hot sauce.

Why do we continue to eat hot peppers? They have interested and varied flavours alongside the heat. Hot spicy is another component to balance in a dish that benefits from being hot or brings interest to an unconventional dish or combination like chilli ice cream or something. It exists, why not take advantage of it?

If you eat a lot of spicy food you come to look forward to it. You get used to it, your tolerance builds. Nobody is going to recommend you start off chewing a carolina reaper or chugging a bottle of capsaicin extract any more than you start learning about something like say alcohol by chugging a whole bottle of everclear, but even extremely hot sauces have a place, maybe a dot on the side of the plate, you eat it slowly microscopic piece by piece testing your limits, clearing your sinuses, getting an endorphin rush etc.

I have to cook for a baby as well now so the genuinely spicy dishes I crave are off the table. I have doubled down on the hot sauce because it is boring as shit to have to eat baby friendly tomato pasta for the 50th wednesday in a row.

It promotes hair growth and testosterone production. Something you clearly don't want in life.

>Why did people start to eat hot peppers
tribesman accidently picks a wild pepper and eats it and goes mad because he's never had spicy food before. tribes avoid peppers but it becomes popular for men to be dared to eat peppers. eventually they realise the spicy taste stands out from the same food they've been eating for years and eventually hot peppers become part o their culture
