Galactc [#6]We used to conquer the world for spices what happened?
He's talking about how on a biological level, capsaicin (spicy ahhhhh chemical) triggers the thermal receptors in our tongues, meaning that it makes your brain think your tongue is on fire. Therefore, by liking spicy food and willingly setting your tongue ablaze and feeling heat pain, you are a masochist.
midzera [#8]Spice is literally a trigger response of pain. It definitely has a masochistic quality to it. And I proudly represent it since I love spice.
me too i love spice and am perhaps a little masochistic <3
washedradiant [#7]Wdym Its the opposite for italians, most dont like spicy food

It doesn't have to be spicy to be flavorful.

Spices does not mean spicy. For example, star anise.
aburnie [#13]As a Thai person. If it's not spicy, it's not edible.
I'm sorry for your loss. I've been to Thailand and I love the coconuts and durian there. Coconut milk also goes great with rice and the desserts in Bangkok are simply lovely. If you deem such foods as "unedible", I have nothing more to say than sorry for your loss.
Kaust [#19]Hello guys, I would like to put it this way: Spicy is not flavor, it is the triggering of thermal receptors in our mouths. Enjoying spicy food is akin to enjoying a fire in your mouth. Fire is painful, therefore if you like spicy food you like pain.
I love pain

Don't worry I know I'm not that dumb it's just that the European stereotype of disliking spices on food is ironic
bbebox [#25]Riddle me this batman, if spicy food is soooo painful why do I feel nothing when I eat moderately spicy foods!?!?!
As the agent Deadlock would say, "Sensor destroyed". Your heat receptors are cooked.

TBH, I compare the way you should be eating spicy foods to working out, your muscles/nerves are gonna be sore until they adjust to the new conditions you are putting them under, in which case you will have an increased tolerance.
Taruuu1 [#32]to be fair spice isn't actually a flavor it just hurts your tounge
I did indeed say that.

everyone knows this lil bro 🤓
why do people drink alcohol?
or to put it to a tee for comparison, why do Italians love wine so much? while Italians love wine for the exquisite and rich taste, addiction is a huge part, much like spicy food is to many other cultures (also including your culture, especially near Calabria, where, cmiiw, you guys use a lot of peppers there, and even pepper jams).

As someone that's not thai - if it's thai, it's not edible
AlexSMTx [#45]but it gotta be good type of spicy flavor. I love spicy but find the taste of wasabi quite nasty
I guess spice is an acquired taste. I hated wasabi until recently, after I started eating more JP cuisine; I still hate the jalapeño-type spice and I'm trying to get used to it so I can handle more of the stuff my Mexican friends give me, especially since I'm literally in Southern California, right above Baja Cali 😭

wasabi isn't spicy. No capsaicin in wasabi at all
kapteN [#50]wasabi isn't spicy. No capsaicin in wasabi at all
nope, it is! contrary to popular belief, capsaicin isn't the only chemical that contributes to spicyness.
isothiocyanates are the primary component in wasabi that makes the "sting" and the "spicyness" radiate throughout your nose/mouth.
hope this helped

mm then maybe the strong flavor why it feels hot, either way I just hate it. For some reason it tastes a bit minty to me

the allyl isothiocyanate in wasabi is also a key chemical in mustard and horseradish, which affect the nasal sense, which might be why you feel minty after consuming wasabi (contacting with wasabi)
