CobraCross, I agree with that LOL I used to enjoy a hot sauce with almost everything but I got old and my intestines said no.

I CANT Et really hot food. Mexican meals are good, but if they put too many spices in it, I can't handle it.

I've seen some food shows that challenges how much heat one can handle. The Carolina Reaper pepper is no joke. Contestants are crying and sweating. Don't accidentally rub your eye!
