In my 20s I thought I was a strong chilli eater, then I tried some local spiced food and found my limit, it's not fun when you shudder and get cold sweat from eating.

Now I add chilli until it's a bit hot and I can enjoy the flavour of the pepper fruit, and the food.

I can handle spice.

My issue with most super hot food is that it tastes like absolute shit.

Everything above a habanero starts to taste more and more like eating mace.

I like a drop or two of a hot sauce with Trinidad scorpion, and there you taste both the chilli fruit but still plenty of hotness. The problem is finding that same sauce again.
