How does tongue detect spiciness?
There is not an actual 'spicy' taste bud. When you get oils from a chilli pepper on you hands it starts to burn quickly, this is similar to what happens to your tongue. Capsaicin, the chemical that produces the sensation of spiciness is damaging some of the nerves at the surface of the tongue. Hence, someone who eats spicy food regularly will grow a tolerance for even spicier foods as the nerves on the tongue have become 'numb' to capsaicin.

Why is it impossible for us to taste spicy foods despite the absence of a spicy taste zone in the tongue?
You mean why is it "possible" to taste spicy food despite absence of its "taste receptors" in the tongue. Well, its because spicy food contains capsaicin. It is an organic molecule found in chillis and peppers capable to producing a burning feeling upon tissue contact. This is due to it binding to a neuronal receptor VR1, allowing movement of ions and such would result in a burning sensory sensation. That is why "spicyness" can be felt even on your lips when eating spicy food.
