    my dad says this same thing but like, capsaicin isn’t flavourful, it just hurts?

    you can get peppers with loads of flavour and very little capsaicin

      It’s about the experience for me. I’m not sure how to explain it because it’s all subjective. Spice doesn’t really hurt me because I have a high tolerance, but it makes me feel… something? Perhaps it’s just like when other people eat a bit of wasabi?
