Large amounts of superhots, or serious extract sauces. The 300-500K scoville range is about where I stop enjoying what I'm eating. I think twice about grabbing raw habanero for anything. I'd be really timid about trying raw scorpion (of any type) again, but I do like knowing what I'm working with.

I can tolerate most spicy food in general. I have shied away from ludicrously spicy food, mostly because my wife can't handle it, but I don't mind when it's pleasantly spicy. Scoville-wise, I probably top out around 1mil to 1.5mil. Habaneros aren't spicy at all really, I thought ghost peppers were pleasant, scorpion peppers a bit too much.

>I like spicy food, but, you know, not so spicy that it doesn't have any flavor!
It always bugs me when people say this. Not because it's wrong (obviously eating a ghost pepper on its own or something won't be enjoyable), but because it excludes the possibility of extremely spicy food having a good flavor. I've had food like that, I think people who say that tend to be spicelets.

If the heat pulls you out of the moment, where you're focused entirely on the spice, and not the flavour, then it might as well just be hot. Some sauces are just hot for the sake of it and don't taste very good. Scorpion peppers and ghost peppers work great in curries, and they dry and smoke up really nicely, but I wouldn't treat them like tomatoes or anything.

If she got the MCs heart in a transplant and lived a normal life because of that how did she end up in purgatory long before him? I've got a pretty high tolerance for spice, I cook with ghost peppers and haven't found anything too unpleasant outside of some meme sauces on their own but even those have their use in a dish.
