In Bolivia, we ate aji all the time. That pepper was a potent love missile. If you touched your eyes an hour later, you would regret it.
I have this weird thing going on wherein I do not feel much heat from peppers. I don't need to drink a bunch of water, my mouth doesn't burn, etc. I just sweat. I can always tell if something is spicy because the top of my head gets sweaty.
If the pepper gets hot enough, I will start to feel it, but not much.
Speaking of habanero, I know they are the be all end all of super machismo pepper eating, but the habanero sauces I have tried....they all taste disgusting....just a bunch of vinegar and unsavory tasting peppers. They dont improve the taste of anything. I think their sole purpose is to exist at Mexican restaurants so that frat boys can dare each other to eat them.
