Why is it that spicy food always seems so much spicier when hot (temperature)?
In: Other
Foods that are higher in temperature activate and ultimately bond to your tase receptors faster. So flavors feel more active than if they were from a cold food.
Also, spicy food is more of a system shock flavor that several other foods due to most people not having the biological disposition to process it as well as others. So it tends to feel more intense.
Put both together and suddenly want sensation that is intense gets crazy
