My wife can swear that her mouth is on fire after eating certain foods, but when I try the same exact food I often barely detect the heat she’s talking about.
I wasn’t always like this, it was an acquired taste. Sweet chilli used to be hot to me, now I dabble with habanero, naga, etc so I know something has changed physiologically…what was it?

Are you a big drinker? When I was drinking heavily I could eat the hottest food and be barely phased by it. 2 years sober now my tolerance for spicy food has dropped a lot! Someone told me it’s partly because booze slowly burns off your taste buds (no idea if there is any truth to that)
