How spicy do you like your spicy food?

If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me why that is? Can the body not break down the membrane sufficiently enough?
My dutch mother was afraid of using salt when cooking.
Then I went to the best food city in the world, NOLA, and the surrounding swamp. Now Tony's is sugar for me. I eat the cob from the crawfish boil.

I figured it was something like that. I guess I just never realized that they close the hole.
I used to be "fuck my shit up" with a decent tolerance but these days I just prefer reasonably spicy (though my tolerance is probably on the higher end).
For hot sauce at home, I mix these two which is absolutely perfect for daily use on anything:
Cholula is not really spicy and the "XXXXtra hot" is a little dramatic IMO but does have a solid spicy level which makes this combo incredible.
The last hot sauce that was too much for me was Tobasco Scorpion. That shit is serious.

Every now and then I like to indulge in something ridiculous like a phall. Every now and then I sit on the toilet with regrets.
At most places I pick the hottest thing available. My wife and I were in a bind yesterday and we ate Sonic. I don't know how people eat that shit on a regular basis. Zero flavor.
generally speaking just short of actually physically triggering my sinuses
if i'm stopping to blow my nose or whatever that's just annoying
that's just a general rule of thumb though and can have exceptions

ranking spice as mild/med/hot is kinda weird since everyone has a different tolerance to it. i guess the only way to quantify it is by scoville units but whos going to list that on their product/menus? i generally prefer "hot", but like "hot" at the chicken wing place isnt anywhere near the "hot" at the asian restaurant making my papaya salad. in this case, chicken wing hot is perfect to me while papaya salad hot is on the "fuck my shit up" level.
Yup. Or "hot" at the Indian restaurant in Japan is barely going to register as mild for most non-Japanese people, but order "hot" at an Indian place in a country that actually does spicy food and it'll be a totally different experience.
This is what happens when:
1. You haven't earned the right to the actual 10/10
and
2. You're a bad tipper.
Yep, they're hard to break down. I don't have a lot of intestine left, and what's there is surrounded be a lot of scar tissue, so it's pretty rigid, and stuff that doesn't digest easily can accumulate at kinks and bends and block the intestine. It happened to me with both those foods, and it's not a fun experience. Thankfully, it worked itself out with both times, though. I've had to have surgeries to clear blockages other times. If I need to have anymore intestine removed, I'll have short-gut syndrome and I'll be getting nutrients through a tube in my arm the rest of my life. I gotta be extra careful.
Legit Thai place I sometimes go to has a 5 point scale. Usually I go for a 3. I like spice as long as it's good, but even good spice I usually can't go much past a 3. Unless I'm really in a mood.
I can have it pretty spicy (like the red packaged 2x spicy ramen someone posted earlier is what I'd consider to be the border of comfortable/too hot that it overpowers the flavor).
Like habanero-level for basic stuff, anything else is "not spicy" to me. I can go harder in small amounts for stuff I love, and if I'm in the privacy of my home, yeah, I'll ride the line. I have some dumb-hot hot sauces, but I don't care for the ones that are basically pure capsaicin.
I don't understand the appeal in food that's painful to eat, I don't want to be crying and have my nose running while I eat, that's not remotely enjoyable. I love a good kick to my food, but fuck anything past that.
I used to do that . But after a while the only flavor is HOT and your tongue is dead . I would simply ask for Thai spicy.
They would tell me , NO REFUNDS.
I like heat and spice in my food but I need to be able to finish it without sweating myself to death and burning the inside of my mouth up.
So im going to go with HOT.
