I mean, as in food. This will be the start of a series that investigates the various types of hotness that we taste and smell. It will be a combination of diary entries about how and where things taste, as well as (to be researched) scientific info as to why the mouth, nose, and the rest of the apparati that deal with things alimentary react the way they do. Readers' queries and knowledgeable contributions are strongly encouraged.
Here are my first two observations:
Spicy V8 Juice, nothing in the front of the mouth or on the tongue, but a lot of heat right where the epiglottis arches into the throat.
Chinese mustard Immediate heat, the hard palate to the mid palate and mostly up the nose. Disapating quickly.
More coming soon.
