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!!!!!!
I like feeling like I'm in the "secret society" because I eat something hotter than Tabasco.
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!
