We all know there is a love hate relationship between men and chillies. They can’t resist the temptation and yet when they indulge they end up asking themselves ‘why on earth did I do that’ whilst swilling down gallons of water to kill the heat (a big no no; milk, milk chocolate and cheese are the answer) - and then they go and do it again! It’s all down to the endorphins that chillies make us produce by creating a sense of euphoria, along with a pinch of male bravado no doubt!
