Everyone I know who works in a kitchen has played the condiment chicken game.
You basically come up with a random slurry of spices, sauces, condiments, juices, liquids, etc and dare someone to eat/drink it. If they manage to so it without puking, they get to prepare their own concoction for you.
It's a cutthroat game, but my go-to, never-fail vomit inducer was black pepper, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

I was like "yeah that seems fine" until I got to the vanilla.
That would make me puke all on its own, that shit is overwhelming.
Neither of those things are spicy enough to affect my sinuses
you have anosmia(?) right?
Yes but I don't think it has any impact on my reaction to spicy food. Wasabi and mustard will still whoosh through my sinuses, and sufficiently hot chilies will make my eyes water and nose run.
Black pepper and tobasco just don't hit that kind of level.

One time someone had me take a shot that consisted of white vinegar, spicy brown mustard, mint extract, and 3 packets of sweet-n-low.
It was hard to even type that out without gagging at the memory.

Straight cinnamon in pretty much any quantity will fuck you up quick.

Yeah, that was considered a straight up cheat. You couldn't use straight cinnamon that wasn't mixed with some kind of liquid.

I'm always interested how it works for the anosmiacs, it's like an alien world for me on the other end of the spectrum
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

I don't think there's a blanket set of experiences, a lot depends on where and how you lost your sense of smell. I know people who find everything tastes like cardboard, but I actually have an exceptionally good sense of taste, and as a bonus I can't be fooled by the ol "hold your nose and eat this apple" trick.
There are a handful of spices and aromatics where virtually none of the receptors triggered have correlates in the nerve pathways from the mouth, and those I definitely do lose out on (truffles do nothing more for me flavour-wise than other strong mushrooms), but I lost my sense of smell at a young enough age that brain plasticity has compensated for pretty much everything else. My tolerance for spicy food has far more to do with eating a lot of korean and vietnamese and thai while growing up, I expect.

The only taste I can't use the hold your nose trick on is bitter. It can't quite describe what is happening with my tongue and tasting because I don't have the words for it, but it's almost like I can "smell" it with my tongue... is that how taste kind of works for you?

whoops how did these two jelly beans turn into fifty jelly beans, and now I'm out of jelly beans somehow??

With lamb or beef? Apparently it's supposed to be lamb but my mam would make it with beef. I loved it.
Calm down, you madman.
McNuggets.
hamburger helper
May as well. Already going to the hospital.
coward
Pigs-in-blankets and champagne?
At Taco fucking Bell?
Speaking of outlandish food ideas, the bag of potatoes I bought has a recipe on it. "Classic potatoes...with a twist!"
What they want you to do is take a pound of potatoes, and then mash them with butter, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Innovative.

yeah where else
I don't think they have ortolan at Taco Bell because they don't have a room dark enough to hide you from God while you eat it.

Oh, I've only known the variety with beef so far! Didn't know that it was originally made with goat or mutton but that makes sense
That's the beauty of it. You think God ever looks at a Taco Bell?
It's just crazy enough to work!
You must have a lot more free time and free space than I do.
this place makes veal sausage too
