My spice tolerance I'd say is fairly low! In terms of curry, I'd stretch to a tikka haha

A little kick can be nice although too much and it just ruins the taste and experience of food for me. My wife on the other hand has a ridiculously high tolerance, probably the highest out of all of friends and family.

The thing I have with spice though is, it's not really a flavour. Doesn't spice interact with your pain receptors? So when you feel heat, it's a form of pain rather than flavour? :P

Don't force those foods if they don't like it.

Now for me, I have tried those korean fire noodles, spicy chicken.

The way to suceeed is to eat it as fast as possible. This way you forget about the pain.

Milk helps. Ofcourse, I don't really enjoy it. Everyone has a preference.

One question no one has answered, yet. How do you convince a child that spicy hot food that causes you pain and discomfort is good and good for you. There's a way, I know. Some cultures live on curry and hot peppers.

If a child refuses to eat the food because of the burning sensation and obviously pain and discomfort, how do you "make" him/her eat it and at what age do you start to feed torture food to them?

Yes, that's what I've read.

I've wondered that myself.

I can eat a little bit of heat, but I don't see how that enhances the flavor. Take chili, for instance. I can eat chili with a little bit of heat but prefer it without the heat. Eating it both ways, I don't see why people think heat is better. To me, if there is no heat, you can concentrate on the flavor and not the burn.

Eating heat related foods such as Chile and other Capsaicinoids releases the bodies defence mechanism called Endorphins.
Endorphins are a natural body chemical that help the body to relieve stress and pain. They work similarly to a class of drugs called opioids.
