😂
There was this Thai restaurant where one could choose the spiciness of their meal on a scale of one to five with five being the spiciest. But there was also a sixth choice which most of the customers weren't aware of. The waiters called it masochist spicy. Don't do this at home.
Years later, in a cafe, a friend casually mentions to a group of us that spicy is not a taste, but pain, and went on to further explain what that means. The entire scene and our reactions resembled the Snatch dairy scene.

And then, after that scene and a couple weeks of research and denial, it finally sunk in: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami are the five tastes detected by the tongue. Spicy is detected by a pain receptor, more accurately by the trigeminal nerve.
