Super spicy crisps in Japan

[Rose65]

Landed some youngsters in hospital. There are some very powerful hot snacks out there and people love to compete to show their ability, however painful the cost.

Years ago I used to be able to eat spicy foods and be fine. Now I absolutely cannot, my digestion takes such nasty vengeance , it's not worth it. I stick to what I know.

Can you still eat very spicy foods? I do know people who are over 60 and seem to have indestructible mouths, throats and stomachs.

I cannot get really spicy stuff past my mouth. Funny thing is that if I do get it down, it doesn't make me sick or give me what we used to call "hot pipes".

A few years ago, I was in New Delhi and inprovidently bit down on what I thought was a green bean. Instead it was some sort of hellish pepper and I thought I was going to die. Never had a bout of "Delhi-Belly", though, the rest of the three weeks so I guess my digestive track is stronger than my mouth.
