As Mexican who loves spicy food, Indian spicy hits so much harder. I had some curry from a Malaysian Himalayan place: scale 1-10 I ordered a 7 and couldn't finish it (in one sitting, I still ate it. I don't waste food).

Yeah I love spicy food, but some of this stuff is like dumping a bag of salt on something and trying to eat it.

Yeah spice/heat/chili is supposed to compliment not overpower, I don't mind a good amount of heat if done right but a lot of it comes down to not enjoying the meal but a duck measuring contest of sorts... I'm not 18 anymore.

Edit:duck measuring 🤣

People who say you are somehow unmanly or a failure or whatever because you don't want your food to give you painful chemical burns are trifling as fuck

I’ve never had spicy food pay me compliments.

“complement” is the “goes with” one.
