To answer the original question, I like it. It's is an attention booster that doesn't involve caffeine or nicotine. The foods I make taste good. Habaneros taste good. Ghost peppers taste great. The above happens all the time for me. We occasionally have department potlucks. Since a very small number of students/professors are actually from the US, they tend to be pretty interesting. I always bring some kind of Mexican food. Even my "gringo" recipes fuck people up. 
ETA: Peppers are a negative net calorie food. I think they'd be great for weight loss; make the food spicy enough that it is slightly uncomfortable, but not so spicy you can't eat it. You will eat less. I use the same approach to cooking because I would eat a metric fuck ton of food otherwise. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I took a friend and his wife to a local fast food Mexican place. Ordered carne asada burritos and told them, no, it isn't hot. So I'm eating my burrito, adding on lots of hot sauce, and they couldn't finish the burritos even without the additional hot sauce. Too hot. Yeah, sorry, I considered them to be quite mild.

Heat (AKA Capsaicin) doesn't effect the taste-buds at all. It transmits the nerve endings in the (mammal) brain as pain. It doesn't effect reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, ect... Quote HistoryQuoted:

That's why I never eat at "authentic" Mexican restaurants, I do not believe them when they say "mild". They lie, they always lie. Even the "buffalo sauce" at Taco Bell is to much for me. They do, it's that whitish orange colored stuff. At least here they used to have a "buffalo chicken" griller, or something like that, i think they still do. That's the sauce they use in it. I have noticed the same sauce sneaking in to other things now like the new Queserito (although thankfully sparingly).

Lol OP's Ferret has bigger balls than him. That ferret was retarded. Literally. When i say I was trying to stop him from eating his hammock I mean it, he wasn't chewing on it he was actually eating it. I would find shredded strips of it in his shit when i cleaned the box, he eventually devoured the whole thing (maybe 18x18 inches), and it was two layers thick, all that was left were the ties that held it to the cage bars. He eventually died when a piece of fabric got stuck in his gut, and his bowels ruptured.   His cage mate died about 2 weeks later of a broken heart.

I can't really do any spice. Don't like it at all. I'm off the other end of the spectrum on sweets though. Have never had something that was too sweet or too rich. Here to. I love sweets. There is no such thing as to sweet. I also have a high sensitivity to bitters, and whatever causes that "burned" flavor to the point that it is near impossible for me to drink coffee, I almost have to consciously suppress my gag reflex, it's like I'm drinking liquefied charcoal briquettes. It is only tolerable when mixed with LOTS of milk, and cream (more milk/cream than coffee), and sugar, and preferably coco. |

I really do think you're missing out some really interesting flavors, because of your aversion to even the slightest bit of heat. Seriously, there's not liking overly spicy foods...
...and then there's you. 
Honestly? I think it'd be a really awesome thing if you deliberately worked to bring your tolerance level up. No one is suggesting that you should be working towards a goal of eating habaneros like a bowl of strawberries (even I can't do that), but your tolerance for capsaicin is waaaaay lower than normal. The various varieties of chili pepper actually have wonderful and varied flavors, but you're not able to enjoy any of it because the heat overwhelms your senses. For us chili pepper heads, that's not actually the case. It's not "stunt eating" for us. What burns your mouth off (a Jalapeño for example) is something that I'd describe as "pleasantly warm". As such, I can actually appreciate the taste of a Jalapeño, whereas you're not able perceive any flavor whatsoever. For you, it's just burning heat. You can work up to it, such that the heat doesn't bother you at all. I think you should. It'll enrich your life.

There is no such thing as a "mild Jalapeno. False. I have some planted in my garden right now. TAM Mild Jalapeno By 1981 Dr. Villalon had that pepper — the TAM Mild Jalapeño-1. Using this pepper, salsa producers could create mild, medium, and hot varieties of their picante sauce by adding capsaicin (the compound that makes peppers hot) to the mild jalapeño base for more heat. They no longer needed to add bell pepper and tomato as filler to make a milder salsa with a broader appeal. The mild jalapeño was also good for stuffing and for slicing into nacho rings and topping pizza. Producing salsa and other commercial Mexican food products became the primary use for the mild jalapeño, but it was also grown for the fresh market and became popular with home gardeners, since it contains greater amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants for better health. |

I eat spicy food all the time.
Stuff I think is very mild is very hot to most of my white friends. They start sweating and turning red on the mildest dishes offered at the authentic ethnic restaurants. 
I did get something a little too spicy and hot once. The dish is not supposed to be that spicy or hot, but the restaurant workers were apparently testing me since they peeked out from the kitchen. I never touched my water once and had no problem with the food that day. Next day I of course got angry ass, which is not common for me with very hot and spicy foods. They now treat me very well at that restaurant and give extra food all the time, and the spicyness / hotness is back to what the people normally eat from that country (sucking it up worked out well in the long run).. I know people that think a little black pepper is too spicy, I don't get it. Why would I want food that bland. Why bother cooking just eat canned chicken all the time.... And there is not pain when I eat spicy / hot food, unless you go to ghost peppers which is just pure heat with no flavor. |

I had a supervisor that loved hot food. One year I planted a Habanero plant and gave him one of them that I had harvested. It was small, the size of a quarter maybe. He ate it, sweated a lot, jumped all around the shop and generally acted like a jumping jack. He said that the next day it was worse coming out. |

Because spicy is good, period.
I spent three years working in Michigan - '03 to '06. The comment about ketchup being spicy is so very true. I went to a Mexican restaurant, ordered the green enchiladas (which should have been somewhat flavorful) and they brought me a bowl of chips...no salsa. I asked for salsa and they asked in return "mild or hot"? My "hot" salsa was ketchup with black pepper. Damn enchiladas came and they were super sweet, almost sugary. So bad I couldn't eat them. Horribly bland food there, hell even Burger King tastes bland in Michigan and chain burger joints usually taste the same across the country. For a nice snack try Macaroni & Cheese, but when you are mixing in the cheese powder and milk add a healthy dose of Cayenne pepper, enough to turn the cheese orange. Very tasty. My pickled eggs get an Habanero treatment, I use 15 Habaneros for about 24 eggs. 8 get diced and boiled in the brine (turns the house into an OC chamber  ) the rest get pickled along with the eggs. Eggs come out orange and very tasty, mild burn and leaves your lips tingly.

Here to. I love sweets. There is no such thing as to sweet. I also have a high sensitivity to bitters, and whatever causes that "burned" flavor to the point that it is near impossible for me to drink coffee, I almost have to consciously suppress my gag reflex, it's like I'm drinking liquefied charcoal briquettes. It is only tolerable when mixed with LOTS of milk, and cream (more milk/cream than coffee), and sugar, and preferably coco. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I can't really do any spice. Don't like it at all. I'm off the other end of the spectrum on sweets though. Have never had something that was too sweet or too rich. Here to. I love sweets. There is no such thing as to sweet. I also have a high sensitivity to bitters, and whatever causes that "burned" flavor to the point that it is near impossible for me to drink coffee, I almost have to consciously suppress my gag reflex, it's like I'm drinking liquefied charcoal briquettes. It is only tolerable when mixed with LOTS of milk, and cream (more milk/cream than coffee), and sugar, and preferably coco. Sweets + spicy = WIN. In Mexico, nearly all candy (even stuff marketed toward really little kids) is spicy as well, because it's just so freaking good. One area that I was in had little lemon-lime bubble gum, with sweetened chili powder in the center. OOoooooOOooh, was that good. Oddly enough, EVERYTHING down there is made spicy with chilis, NOTHING is spiced up with cinnamon oil. While I was there, I gave a few locals some "Hot Tamales" candy, and they were hopping up and down from how spicy they were to them. When I realized what was going on, they thought I was playing a joke on them, so I let them watch me eat half of the box. They were completely taken by surprise that Americans had such spicy candy. |

Because spicy is good, period.. Yes, it is. It's like tetrachromia, but in the taste sense. It adds another dimension to your experience. |
