My family is big on spicy foods so there was never any one particular experience that was 'gut wrenching', what is good is a stir fry of pork and jalapeno peppers [mostly pepper, not much pork] and that's a really refreshing dish.
It all depends on the peppers used. Although typically the preferred peppers are jalapeno or chili peppers, once we had a dish that was using those small bright yellow/orange peppers. Goodness gracious. the gates of hell opened in my mouth. Other peppers are flavourful, this was just a firy unquenchable pain. I must've eaten an entire tray of ice after dinner. The spiciness doesnt leak into anything else in the dish, it just stays ont he pepper itslef but once you eat it...geez...good luck.
