Sometimes I just want a murder hot soup or entree because it beats the other recreational poisons in terms of long term damage, but I still feel good after.

I enjoy food, but I also like an occasional escape by capsaicin. If that's ok with you, I mean.

Lol, I mean yeah I get you. Like I said, I can also eat super spicy food. And that's not the sort of thing you find out by accident. There is a certain pleasure to it, maybe sinus clearing, or the sort of psychological sensation akin to a cold plunge from forcing yourself to endure something difficult. And I love the hottest variety of hot cheetos. And Thai food really does need some decent hest or its just not right. I think the true defining characteristic of a Spicelord isn't enjoying super spicy food, but being pretentious and weird about it.
