The instant it goes beyond being flavor and starts being painful.

>>15842253
This. Past a certain point the food just starts to taste "hot" and it drowns out everything else.

>>15842253
>>15842270
This is not a set point. You acclimate to pungency with repeated exposure and it becomes less hot for (you)

>>15842253
It's not a flavor, anyways, it's a pain response. Capsaicin makes the cells in your mucous membranes think that they're actually on fire. It's the same reason it burns when you shit out spicy food. It's already just a pain response, and the amount of spice you can handle is a matter of pain tolerance. The stuff you think is flavorful, is just stuff to which you've built a tolerance and can actually pay attention to the other flavors. Like, habaneros are actually pretty sweet, once you can ignore the pain response.

>anime

honestly the main issue for me is the way out not the way in

>>15842355
You're on an anime website, bud.

Save it for /a/, bub.

Peppers are stupid. I won't even eat bell peppers. What's the point?

>>15842303
That's if you're thinking of "spicy" without recognizing where the heat is coming from. Cayenne has flavor, jalapenos have flavor, scotch bonnets have flavor.

>mapo tofu
Mapo tofu is weird spicy, since it uses those fucky peppers that sting the inside of your mouth, instead of the normal pepper burn

>>15842241
when you're sweating profusely, and your body is preventing you from shoveling in any more into your mouth, like it activates your primal instincts to avoid eating something that is causing you "harm"

>>15842431
this. my main problem is that my lips burn way before spicy food is too spicy for the inside of my mouth.

>>15842324
Its happened maybe 3 times in my life?

>>15842241
Infuriating ending if you ask me.

no spice is too spicy. spice brings something to the experience of the meal. some of the 'spiciest' meals i've had turned into moments of clarity which made it all worth it. life is about struggle and a little spice is not going to hurt you. try something crazy hot sometime. it's fun.

Yeh but you posted a screen cap of a forced drama shit anime, can't believe the pussies at /a/ even cried to this piece of shit

>>15842241
When you don't like the taste of the food because it's too spicy. It's pretty personal. And you can learn to eat spicier food if you want to. And less spicier food too. Spices can be also added later so I think it's better not to make the food too spicy if people don't like it spicy. Can't take the spices off from the food, but you can always add them.

>>15844564
no

>>15842241
extracts that are just pure spicy with a metallic aftertaste. Other than that, there isn't too spicy. The body gets used to it. capsacin expels parasites out of the gut as well. It's good in moderation.

based

>>15847316
Thanks anon. I was really having a bad day until you called me "based". Have a funny picture as payment.

>>15842241
If it gives me explosive diarrhea then it's too spicy.

>>15844904
At some level, the gut can't tolerate capsaicin. It will cause massive stomach cramping and/or diarrhea. Your taste glands and asshole glands can adapt quickly, but your digestive system can't.

>>15842241
If it gives me the shits the next day.

Habaneros are my general upward limit. I can enjoy the heat, but with especially fresh ones you can catch some fruit notes that pair well with red wine reductions, pineapple, caramelized onion and oddly enough with green olives, goat cheese and a touch of honey over any bread/crackers.

>>15842291
This could be said about almost any flavor for (you), so is not really helpful

When the package has a fire breathing chicken on it

Spicy food should make you sweat, not string.

Do you know where we are?

>>15842241
If it comes out as ass juice then it's too spicy

>>15842241
anything spicier than mild for white people is too spicy

>>15849101
It was not a fruitful question to begin with.

If I can't eat it without taking a break where im just waiting for the pain to subside its too hot

I like the sensation of spicy food and stuff like chilis and vinegary hot sauces add lot of flavor but some food is a damn chore to enjoy

Some local Indian joints give me the #5. Had to ask for it with a wink and a nod. Ended up developing a tolerance to their hottest dishes. I always have cayenne pepper, 2 or three hot sauces, habanero and jalapenos in the kitchen.
