There is a machoness to it, there is a great short story on this I read in school. I wish I could remember the name and/or author.
But there is also an addictive side to it. Studies have shown that eating chilies produces the same pleasure endorphins in the brain that is responsible for the "runner high". Finally, conditioning plays a factor. If you are used the spicy, there are a lot of complex flavors in peppers, but it takes training to get to that point. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA -----Original Message----- From: cfhelp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 7:53 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: how to stop hot pepper oil I quit drinking pop years ago with the exception of the occasional 7&7. I use Coke to clean my battery terminals. Have you tried Drano that would eat a hole in you or solve a constipation problem? I just never got the reason for it. I watch my buddies in pain eating peppers and other hot spicy food and can not figure how one could enjoy it. I think its all just macho showing off. "I can make a hotter chili than you" "oh yea, Well I will eat that chili" OK you win I will be over here savoring the food with a nice wine while you guzzle a half a gallon of milk with bottle of Rolaids.
