/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Ill say it before, and I said it again.

Spicy food sucks.
Only tough guys trying to prove how tough they are "like" spicy foods.

What's the appeal of spicy food?

Eating should be an enjoyable experience. What's enjoyable about having your mouth burn, your nose run and sweating all over the place?

Don't give me that 'Don't be a pussy' or 'Endorphins and shit' excuse because that's bullshit. I shouldn't have to prove how manly I am or get high to enjoy my meal.

So why do YOU like spicy food?

Why do people like spicy food? I don't get it. It kills the flavor of the dish and overwhelms the pallet with unpleasurable feelings. It's the exact opposite of what food is supposed to be.

So sugar rots your teeth, can make you fat and other complications, but do spicy foods do any damage to your body other than making your anus burn after a nice long shit?
