My father use to put hot sauce on everything. He had a high tolerance for the stuff. One day at the dinner table, he had to leave to take a phone call. We took alot of Tobasco sauce and put it on his blackeyed peas. We were waiting for him to turn red and start sweating. Instead, he tasted the peas and said that they needed some hot sauce and poured more on them. He ate them and we did not see him sweat.

I suppose that if you eat enough hot stuff that you build up your tolerance. I know that when I grew up in Texas, I could handle alot of heat myself. One day on a dare, I ate straight the so-called very hot sauce in a Mexican resturant. It was so hot that after the first bite I did not feel it any more. What we will do as young and crazy kids? What will some adults do to prove their manhood?
