I think that maybe spicy food isint spicy at all. I mean that the taste is weaker but the tongue just makes the taste stronger. So my question is: Is the spicy food spicy by itself or does our tongue make the taste stronger?
What I mean by that is, when you eat or drink something (eg. a chilli) sometimes you only get the spicyness after a while. This also happens with cranberry juice- you get a bitter aftertaste.
