Wings...

I had a post thought through on money woes, and how its almost impossible to get ahead financially today, but it'd just depress me to type it up...

I had a post thought through about the leak I found in the heating system after I filled it with water and fired it up, but that would frustrate me to type up...

Instead, let me ask you this... What is the point of super/mega/nuclear hot wings?.. As I was sitting in a pub tonight having dinner, the guy a couple seats down was talking (way too loudly or I wouldn't have this topic) about a batch of wings he had had a few days ago that was so hot he had to have 4 drinks after the first wing... While I understand the need for the drinks, I can not understand the fact that he said he loved them... Now, I like spicy food, but I'm not crazy about HOT things... I think the spice should be there as a flavor, not as a punishment... I've had nuclear wings (once only thanks) and they were hot enough that I not only drank a pitcher of beer after the first wing, but I could not taste the beer, or anything else until the next day... Now I accept that the wing is really only there to carry a sauce since there's not much meat on there anyway, but don't you want to enjoy the experience rather than crying through everything after the first?...

Simply put, I just don't get it... If you have the answer, let me know please... And spare me the crap about the euphoric high the pain can give you... I don't buy that in the least bit....

I'm with you. I've heard that you can build up a tolerance to the "hot" in spicy food, which is why some folks need to have it hotter and hotter.

I want "zing" and flavor, not "searing pain" and dead taste buds.
