same here. 
the only reason why i liked
to eat vegetables from a young age, is because my grandmum made it
so hot.
also theres the fact that my grandmum and my dad also take alot of
chilli, guess my sisters and i got influenced by them.
but i know what you mean. i went to thailand in 2004 on a mission
trip with my church youths + a few adults, and you know how thais
like all the spicy food. the food was so heavenly to me being so
spicy and all, until the second day when pratically all of them
complained about the food. the people who cooked for us decided to
tone down the hotness in it....*sigh* the food was so bland the
second day.
