Jocelyn,
Is this another school project?
Here's my 2 cents worth. I consider myself a latent Chilehead. All my life
I had a shaker of McCormick's dried "Chile Flakes" that I put on almost
everything I ate. It wasn't until I bought a home with enough land, started
a garden & learned about stuff on the internet that I found Capsicum bliss.
Answering your questions.....I think all are arbitrary. I eat some pretty
hot stuff but when I read about people in Hab eating contests or people who
guzzle bottles of hot sauce I wince at the END result. I don't ever remember
anyone writing they "popped" Red Savinas as their first hot pepper so I'd
have to say everyone has to (quoting you) "build up a good resistance to
capsaicin.."
Snip:Are there better ways to develop this "ability" (eat Habs or lots of
lower heat peppers...) ? Far as I know, you advance from Jals to Serranos
to Habs.
Snip: If you stop eating peppers for a little while, will your resistance
drop quickly or will it stay pretty much the same? Can't answer this
one/never stopped.
Hope this helps,
Paul
PS How's the other projects going?
