Spicy food is the most amazing thing on the planet. The hotter, the better. I like my food so spicy I feel like my tongue is going to fall out of my mouth. I was at a friend's house a couple days ago, and we had burritos for dinner. To me, it was like eating a warmed up tortilla with some boiled chicken stuck inside of it = no flavor. Nada. Now I don't know if that's because I've ruined my taste buds with endless spicy meals or if some people simply don't have much of a tolerance for it, but my friend got sick off it. As in, very sick. Mucho grande sick. She begged for a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze in her mouth.
I was hurt. I mean, come on. I was considering taking my amiga to an Indian restaurant this week, but if she can't handle boiled chicken, then how the heck can I expect her to eat chicken korma?! It really puts a damper on your social life when you patronize certain eateries yet none of your friends will go with you because they have the taste buds of Gordon Ramsay. (Seriously - if you watch Hell's Kitchen or whatever, if one of the contestants sprinkles pepper onto the food, he can't eat it. It's hilarious!)
Spicy food is one of my reasons to exist. In fact, I'm gonna go have my leftover Mexican from dinner last night.
You like spicy food? But you eat fruit and Cheerios and pumpkin seeds!
