One thing that varies from cultures. It is also something that the digestive system gets used to over time. It seems not up until recently that many white people are getting used to the hotness. The rise of the popularity of chicken wings could be related to that. I remember when wings were 15 cents each on some nights but these days its getting close to $1 for 1.

Even when at work we have wing and beer times. The first time my boss had to run to the washroom and run his mouth under the tap and now eats spicier things than me.
