    I think for spicy food acting as food, the hottest pepper I still enjoy the taste of is a Habanero. In my opinion, anything beyond that isn’t meant to be tasted. Sometimes, the pain and that hit of adrenaline is the point though.

      You should try pushing yourself. Once you get used to the more intense spiciness unlocks more flavors.

          It’s like lifting weights. Push yourself gradually. Once you get used to that level of hotness , go the next hottest level. Start with Tabasco of that’s the level you’re at now. And take the chance to put it on any kind of food you think would benefit from some spice. For example, I put olive oil and hot sauce on my salad instead of salad dressing.
