I always think this about garlic, chilli, onion, etc. Feeling all tough, naturally designed to punish whatever's just eaten it. Then humans be like, "OOOOO that's yum. Add a bit more."

We like plants that offer a challenge, apparently. We probably evolved to like these chemicals because we refused to be beaten and just ended up liking them.

It's probably some kind of weird reward effect in our brains. Like "Yay, whatever I just ate attacked me and I survived! Gimme some more of that!"
