Are you a fan of spicy food?

[certifiedalphafemale]

Proud to say that I am!

My favorite spicy food is Tteok-bokki and Mapo tofu. Tom Yum soup is also spicy sometimes, as well as Bo Kho (Vietnamese beef stew). in my opinion, Asian cuisines have one of the spiciest foods in the world, though I might be wrong.

If yes, what's the spiciest dish you've eaten?

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah I tend to have a fair bit of spicy food.

this might be Chinese food, usually Sichuan & Hunan as those are some of the regions with great spicy food.

Thai food is good and been there trying different types, including Tom Yum etc.

Personally I love Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, Bangladeshi food, which all tend to be grouped together under Indian.

We have a crazy amount of ‘Indian’ restaurants here, which cover the above and Kashmiri, Sri Lankan, and other regions within Indian, as each region brings something different to the table.

Its also important not to forget food from the Americas, which is also hot and spicy, notably chillis and a raft of other food types and styles.

I indulge in spicy food all the time. I have a collection of hot sauces in my fridge. Really annoys me when people say white folks can't handle spices. And a lot of Asians act like they're better than you just because they eat spicy dishes. As well, I've met people from Asia who can't handle spices as well as I can. It varies from person to person.

Spiciest thing I've ever eaten was this soup from South East India. It burned my mouth for an hour. I've also eaten Ghost Pepper Peanut Brittle and Scorpion Pepper Wings.

In my family we eat a lot of spicy food and when I order wings I tell them make them hot like really hot. I don't know why but mild taste extremely sweet to me for some reason.

Yes I love spicy food! Especially South Indian and South East Indian cuisine because they are most spicy in India. I also want to try out East Indian cuisine.

[Apulu_3]

*East Asian cuisine actually lol just noticed that now.

[Ian69]

Unfortunately my poor little body can’t tolerate spicy food anymore. I might get away with mildly spiced food, I just have to be careful, because it can have the adverse affect of…let’s just say it clears me out. And I end up feeling like I’ve just been bum raped by an elephant.

[MuddyMole]

Yes, but not in a dumb, macho way - it has to actually taste good, not just hot. I can't believe anyone really thinks a Phal tastes better than a Madras, for example (personally, I like a Ceylon, which is similar in hotness to a Madras, but with a sweeter, coconut flavour).

[FoxnEagle]

New Mexican here, and we compete with Mexico for spicy!
It is a different kind of spicy than Asian food though (and there are a number of different kinds of spicy in Asian food too) so while I am fine having nachos with habaneros on top, some curries don't agree with me :/

[Slartybartfast]

Yeah, I taught myself to cook Indian food from a guy on an h1b Visa I trained to take my tech job lol ( I don't blame him for taking the job I blame the employer and the politicians that used him to lower wages)

I still talk to his mom online sometimes when I need cooking tips.
I gave her a copy of my German grandmother's pastry and Cookie recipes. If anyone has a favorite recipe I'd love to hear it.

[Sevenpointfive]

i am a fan, but i probably wouldn't like some of the food that people can handle on here. i do love very spicy indian food

[ARWINGx1]

I would say that my mom do. BUT, it may also be 'cause she was originally from Thailand, where spicy food is common.

[Citizenkirk]

Some spices like garlic black pepper tarragon anise things like that. Not so much for jalapenos or hot chilies or ghost peppers.

[Rachelle_256]

well depends on how spicy it is , light and mild spicy is okay but i hate the hot hot

[loveslongnails]

Today I had Spicy Pho for lunch - with steak and pork. It was awesome.
Spiciest thing I ever had was some Caribbean dish made with scotch bonnets. It was too intense to really enjoy.

[Nazorella]

Noo im not big fan of it. Maybe sometimes with certain foods like chicken wings.

[joeldalton]

I’ve eaten the Carolina reaper. I do like spicy food. Thai is probably the hottest out of the Asian cuisines.

[awkward_author]

I'm a fan of spicy food, but I can't remember the spiciest one I've eaten.

[skyeee_]

i like spice but still not that good at handling all spices

[TOQGYDL]

I am, but there is little variety in Croatia in terms of spicy food. Vary little restaurant that have different food from other culture in general.

[Wise4myage]

Not particularly. Spicy food tends to burn during digestion.

[Juliette1994]

Oh yea I live in L. A. it’s staple especially in tacos.

[Jackba57]

Mmmmmm…! Yes! Spicy Gumbo…fav….. chili.. typical…recently it’s spicy frittatas!

[Abinav69]

Of course I am, I like spicy foods..!

[gamernerd]

Yes I am! I love Indian curries (which tend to be spicy) and those spicy shoyu Ramen!

[DryGermanGuy]
