  • It’s about the experience for me. I’m not sure how to explain it because it’s all subjective. Spice doesn’t really hurt me because I have a high tolerance, but it makes me feel… something? Perhaps it’s just like when other people eat a bit of wasabi? (I know that wasabi and peppers don’t work the same, but it still gives people that “pain” or maybe “kick”.)



  • I realize I’m a special case, but my nose is essentially non-functional—I don’t smell food. While my sense of taste is more sensitive than your average person, I suspect I still miss out on some kinds of flavour. I believe my impairment is why I am drawn towards strong tastes like cheeses or, indeed, extremely spicy food. They’re the “only” flavours that I really experience strongly.
