  The sad part is the tolerance you build to it. I love Thai food and one summer we spent a lot of time in the city and went to the same Thai restaurant in downtown Toronto for about three or four months over several visits to the city.

  I loved their authentic curry Pad Thai and I always ordered it with a bit of their homemade chili garlic hot sauce. As the visits progressed, I kept wanting more and more chili garlic sauce. By the end of the summer, I was eating two small bowls of the stuff with every order … just for myself! The restaurant people weren’t happy and they started diluting the stuff to discourage me but I just kept wanting more like some sort of street drug addict … I even offered to pay more for it all like some crack addict craving the stuff.

  I had to stop by the end of the summer when my stomach and gastronomic system gave up and I started developing bad indigestion and stomach problems and acid reflux :(

    I have a friend that gets Thai food so spicy that they turn red and start sweating when they eat it. I tried a bite and began hiccuping immediately and couldn’t handle it.

    I get the hottest Indian food I can when I go out lol I’ve gotten so used to it that even the hottest stuff they have doesn’t seem that spicy to me anymore! I’ve started making my own dishes at home now with habaneros and I love it! I just made a post in another community with my new batch of pickled habaneros that I’ve been putting on everything lol
