@lipow recently I went to a Thai place in LA where my Thai friend said in the northeast dialect, make this so spicy that they can’t eat it and my friend will cry

It worked

It was the only thing I’ve had in America that was tasty and as spicy as in a village in Thailand. It was exactly what I needed

I didn’t cry tho, capsaicin is basically a flavor to me. I don’t like spicy for the sake of it but in a dish or cuisine that makes use of it, it’s a different depth of flavor and the lack of it makes it flavorless to me
