Hot Salsa

[UteStar]

I love salsa (or at least what we Americans generally consider "salsa", with the full and complete realization that said "salsa" is likely not actually not eaten in Mexico), but I usually go for the "Medium" in spiciness. I've tried hotter salsas, but I usually end up in pain and not really tasting anything, leading me to think "what's the point?" For those hot salsa fans out there, were you born liking hot salsa? Did you develop a tolerance for the spiciness? Can you honestly taste anything when your mouth is on fire? Does the spice release some sort of endorphin (I'm really suspicious that this is true)? Or is it just a sort of personal challenge to see how hot you can go, and taste/flavor is a secondary concern?

I hear that the salsa from Cafe Rio is fabulous. Though it is mild and not mexican hot.

Plus it's easy to make!

1. Take a tomato
2. Dice it
3. Put in bowl
4. Serve

I experience a burning sensation when I urinate. Not sure if that is related to the peppers.

Yeah, I'm thinking not. I can get you something for that.
