A different kind of sensation that we wrongly perceive as one of 'taste' comes from very hot or spicy foods like Wasabi mustard, chili peppers, the gingerols in ginger, piperin in black pepper and the various isothiocyanates in onions, mustard, radishes and horseradish.
These do not have an effect on the five types of tastes; rather the 'kick' or sensation is a function of how much pain it inflicts on nerve fibers in your mouth. Also located in the tongue's papillae, these pain fibers are actually wrapped around the taste buds. We consider them 'hot' because they stimulate only a subset of the pain fibers in your mouth, not all of them.

No, it enhances but don't try it before going to church tonight. You wouldn't want the embarrassment of letting one rip in a crowded heated church. The fallout might leave you alone in the church.

no, it may render them helpless for just a bit, till the 'burn' wears off. It all differs according to tolerance and taste.
