minus-squareHonytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoI enjoy spicy food once in a while, but I don’t get why anyone would actively make it extremely hot on purpose. It doesn’t enhance the taste, it actually makes the food taste less since you mainly taste the spice.
minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoOnce you have a high enough heat tolerance you can start to actually taste stuff, even when it’s melting your face off. Ghost peppers are fruity, with an almost cherry-like flavor. If you can handle them they’re a great enhancer for candy!

minus-squareHonytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoSo like, a smidge of masochism of sorts?
minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoMore than a smudge. “Hot” isn’t a flavor. What you’re experiencing is pain.

minus-squaresubignition@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoIt’s fine if you don’t get it, but for some people the spice is as important, or more important, than the flavor
minus-squareHonytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoYes, but why is it more important to you?
minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-27 months agoThe title already explained it. It’s for the endorphin rush. Also, sometimes your food tastes like crap, and you just want to cover up the taste. I generally don’t like sauce that is only hot. I like it to have flavor, too.

Piss off with that!
