Why eat spicy food then?

Coat your tongue in wax and go chase the magic fox through the desert.

That's the only way a human could possibly eat a Merciless Pepper of Quetzalacatenango.

Not the merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango!

I hear they're grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum.

If you need to coat your tongue at minimal heat then why are you eating food with heat at all?

How many restaurants that serve spicy foods are guaranteed to also have pesto or peanut butter?

OP implies you should take a jar of pesto or PB with you at all times

Or just store it in your cheeks like a squirrel.

If you want to be able to eat spicy food, just eat spicy food on a daily basis and you will get used to it.

I can eat more pepper than anybody I know, but if I take a break for a few weeks even black pepper seems too spicy.

LPT: If you want to eat spicy foods while feeling minimal heat, coat your tongue with a lipid such as pesto or peanut butter.
