Because spicy is not a flavor. Spicy is more like an allergic reaction to a chemical that certain plants excrete as a defense mechanism. Humans are just weirdos because we enjoy our mouths and buttholes being on fire.
Taste the flavor

Plant: develops high amounts of capsaicin to ward off predators
Humans: ooh, this would be great with chicken!
Plant: am I a joke to you?

Maybe it’s just the mouth part we enjoy and the other we tolerate.

argument: we normally think of five flavors (salty, savory, sour, sweet, bitter) but without spicy the meal is not complete. shit, some people consider slimy a flavor and that’s fair.

There’s also menthol and whatever compound is in Szechuan pepper.

They’re even spicier when you put the pepper directly in your ass.

Because I guarantee you that it no longer tastes like pancakes.

On second thought, maybe I don’t want tastebuds just inside my asshole.

Or beets, which for the first 10 seconds you think you have Ebola… And then ah, yeah, the beets!

I’ve made pancakes with maple syrup and chili crisp and it was delicious! Highly recommend.

With the power of lactose intolerance, you too can regret certain non-spicy foods! Its usually pretty immediate though

Because spiciness is literally heat. Capsaicin, the spicy chemical, literally activates the heat receptors in your skin.
