Some like it hot!

PepperI like spicy food, I know it isn’t for everyone but I enjoy food that is very hot. Everyone has a level which they tolerate, I would not say I like it flaming tongue hot but I have friends who do. I find it funny how each person will describe the level which they like it. I just described my level to a friend as nose running forehead sweating hot. He described it back to me as pay for it later hot. They have an actual scale the Scoville heat scale which is suppose to tell you just how spicy something is. For example, Tabasco sauce is 2500-5000 on the scale where a sweet bell pepper is 0. Toward the upper-end pepper spray is 2 million and something called Pure capsaicin and Dihydrocapsaicin is 16 million. I would say I am closer to a tabasco maybe Habanero (100,000-350,000) kind of guy than a coat my food with pepper spray kind. I could not imagine a drop of the upper-end stuff on my food. While my liking may be a pay for it later like my friend said, the other stuff has to be a pay for life kind of experience. I think I will pass on even trying it, I don’t think a total intestine replacement surgery sounds like any kind of fun!
