The dual-use of the English “spice” (ground minerals used to improve flavor) and “spice” (substances that cause food to taste hot and intense) leads to many unfortunate losses of potential flavor.

When I was in Chicago went to my Mexican friend’s house for home cooked Mexican! Yeah. Looked like that.
Wife: “Ed’s guts can’t take spicy.”
Shoot me.

Ed needs to suck it up for the sake of all that is Mexican.

Seriously. And you will very quickly get used to it. Like you wouldn’t believe what happened to me when I started making red lentil dal on the regular, but after a while, my bowel movements went back to regular and no more “ring of fire.”

LOL, nah. (I’m actually giggling.) Ed was 50 at the time, had IBS or something.
And yes, practice makes perfect! I eat peppers that would make a billy goat puke, no problem.
Wife and I were at the Mexican joint Friday night and I was scarfing the homemade hot salsa, the kind you have to ask for. “You are drinking that!” Another time she accidentally stuck her chip in and got it in her mouth. Coughing and crying so hard I was worried for her heart condition. Good times.
