Why do you eat hot stuff?

I kind of dig the fact that when we eat superhots, we're tasting something that the majority of humanity won't ever taste! Like a secret flavor or something!
 
And oh, what stunning flavors there are to explore!!!!!!   :)

We are like a " secret Society "  
 
I like feeling like I'm in the "secret society" because I eat something hotter than Tabasco.   :lol: 
 
I also eat hot stuff because no one else in my family will eat hot stuff.  Just like no one else in my family has a tattoo or a body piercing.  maybe it's some latent rebellion thing going on???  So maybe there's some of the "at the dinner table, in your face, look what I'm eating"...but since I only see that side of the family once a year or so.....well....that's probably not it.... 
 
I like pushing flavors and heat for the sake of pushing personal boundaries and getting used to hotter stuff.  Tolerance can be built up, and I like the endorphin rush.  Funny thing is, the kid swears he's not a chilehead, but he will eat generic spicy food products (chipotle cheese dip, spicy chips, hot wings, ...)and say "that's not hot!"
 
 
He's been fully assimilated into the ChilePepper Continuum! 
:woohoo:

Mine is the same way.  He'll see me grabbing the sauce or powder for my meal and he follows suit.
 
I think his inner gorilla is coming out.  Ohh Ohhh!
 
Because I've always liked spicy food, and I decided to take that obsession to its logical conclusion.
 
And I've been a gardener from a young age.
