Been eating hot stuff since I was just a little thing.
Have a very high tolerance for heat.
Frank's and Tabasco are great for eye drops because of the low heat.
I like the flavor of Tabasco so the lack of heat is OK.
I don't purposely go for really high heat but for flavor.
Now the local Sichuan place has learned that I need extra hot food and extra chili paste on the side or I can't feel the heat.
I prefer jalapenos flavor over the other hotter peppers.
Friends do try and kill me with Ghost and Scorpion peppers but have given up on that as it doesn't work on me.
So I like some things to be very hot because of my high tolerance just to feel the heat but flavor is more important.
