Real, people who can't tolerate spice are missing out on so many flavours in general

Imo spiciness is overrated...

Most spicy food I've seen emphasized the spiciness too much sacrificing the taste..

Plus too spicy just makes eating the food becomes unenjoyable

While I do think there's merit in spiciness, I prefer them on a decent scale😅

Agreed. There are foods that don't have to be spicy to taste good. The flavour of caramelised onions is not spicy but it's probably one of my favourite flavours in food, it's just too good when combined with other things correctly. Most of my mother's cooking is not excessively spicy, even though the food is traditionally meant to be spicy, and I really enjoy her style of cooking.
Tldr: Food doesn't need to be spicy to be flavourful and delicious.

What I am saying is: you cant experience many Asian, African, Middle Eastern dishes and so forth, without being able to tolerate spice. I am not a spice fanatic and I don't think that every food is better with spice, however I do believe that some of the best cuisines in the world heavily utilize it.

I prefer to eat spicy food at home because I'm sweating buckets everytime I eat spicy food, or at least I need cold drinks so I can handle the spice.

It depends on what it is in, I dont like needlessly hot things but I can go about up to a ghost pepper before feeling discomfort (white boy alert)

I don’t even know, the highest spicy level I could do is the Indian level that’s offered in this one specific Indian restaurant near me and I mostly sweat while also feeling the spice

Chester’s Hot Fries isn’t that spicy to me if that works

I eat spicy food, I have absolutely 0 clue what my spice level is tho because I am very picky

I can atleast eat cayenne pepper (ive never tried anything hotter than it) but I am below average in spice tolerance in my family.

I don't really know because I don't like eating peppers but most common hot sauces don't affect me at all + I'm Asian so I think it is pretty high

Tobacco, sriracha, all of taco bell hot sauce. Those are some examples of popular hot sauces that aren't really spicy. Most of the foods I think are spicy are spicy Korean food but even then I don't really think the are spicy but I can actually taste it unlike the previously mentioned hot sauces which I can't taste at all

I have a sensitive stomach so spice hurts whether or not I can handle it during consumption. The highest would probably be the korean fire noodles with half of their sauce pack LOL.

Anything above a Habanero sacrifices flavor for heat for me. Even then I prefer stuff a bit milder — Birds Eye or Scotch Bonnet are perfect.

Some of my favorite dishes are Thai Papaya Salad, Jerk Chicken, and Bún Bò Huế. Sichuan Hotpot is also a good shoutout.

Dont know about ball pepper & stuff but my spice level probably suitable with the top country spice level in this thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/indonesia/comments/1ejli05/found_at_a_ramen_restaurant_in_japan_spiciness/?rdt=62691

Geting used to spicy dish mean every main dish which not spicy kinda felt tasteless,
this is probably what spicy lover felt like when tasting "something not spicy" that should be spicy
