    I enjoy spicy food, but among Euro-Americans it isn’t about the taste, it’s a macho badass thing. You prove how much of a man you are by how many Scoville units you can consume. It’s dumb.

      I mean, not all of us do. Admittedly I tried the “World’s Hottest Ramen” for a laugh once, but I I regularly cook with Carolina Reapers as I like the taste not to prove how big my balls are.
