Never had it. I will try it, bet I could get it at Kroger.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I don't care for too much heat, but I like a decent sweater. I put fresh jalapeños in a lot of my Mexican food, and sometimes in my chili, but there's no point in sweating so much you can't enjoy the flavor.

I like chilli in my stir-fry.
I've found the bird's eye chilli to be the best for flavour and heat. It's not quite in the insanely hot range.
I've had a bird's eye bush for about six years now, fruits all year round, hard to kill.

I ate an entire ghost pepper. Chewed it up and swallowed it. Then drank some vodka that had been soaking in several ghost peppers for days.
You could say I like spicy food 
I adore jalepenos. I love curries. My favorite I think is chicken jalfrezi. Mmm.

Very much so! I will never understand the people who eat like Carolina Reaper peppers and stuff lol I love spicy but I have to actually be enjoying myself, you know...
but I think a lot of stuff that's super spicy to most is only mild to me. Red Devil or Frank's Red hot is like ground black pepper to me haha
But yea flavor/pleasure over pure heat any day

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

Though what you said reminded me, I used to watch a lot of J-vloggers on YouTube (Anglos and others who have settled in Japan and vlog about any aspect of it). A lot of them mix the wasabi with the soy sauce. Good way of doing it, really.
That's the way I was taught when I first had sushi -- Wasabi goes into a puddle of soy sauce, then you dip the sushi in it.
Wasabi has a strange way of going straight to my sinuses. Might be happening with other hot spices too, but with wasabi it's like being hit across the bridge of the nose with a whole horseradish.

I found my limit, not so much with how spicy I'll make food, but how spicy I want my peppers to be, with the red savinas. I treated them basically the same as a regular habanero the last time I made my spicy chicken sausage soup. It turned out too hot for a soup (of course, I ate it all anyway ). Anything hotter than 300-400 thousand scovilles and regulating the heat is going to get dicey. I'd rather control the heat by adding a variety of hot peppers from Jalapeno to habaneros than try to guess if one Carolina Reaper is enough and if two will make it inedible. Besides, adding more peppers of a lower scoville give more pepper flavor as you increase the heat and with the varieties easily available today, why miss out on that?
