[Sca-cooks] subjective hot, was Hot Peppers

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

another example is the radish family......
they are "hot" to most people, but some can take it and some can't....

now me, i can eat radish, or ginger, and love them both.. but capsicum is
not something i tolerate well.

a friend (who is a pepper junkie) who has known that i cannot eat anything
"hot", not even a little. i mean everyone else is going "mild" and i am
going "WATER! RICE! MILK! HELP!" saw me eating the pickled ginger off the
sushi tray, and eating raw red radishes straight. and just couldnt
cope.........
