Do you like spicy food?

[Circushowcowboy]

I can’t take too much spice despite the Puerto Rican roots lols

[DryGermanGuy]

Spicy, yes. But not to the point of being so hot it burns a hole into my stomach walls.

[Circushowcowboy]

Those are no fun lol

[Potteplante]

I'm the poster child of "white folks don't do spice".

Raised in a low income Nordic household, no spice was found near me growing up.

[Circushowcowboy]

You have to slowly build up a tolerance!

[Caroline91]

Yes! Until I moved to Michigan, ate Mexican almost daily. Can't find good Mexican food here and I am suffering for it!

[Circushowcowboy]

Why the move to Michigan? I thought you were in like California lol

[Caroline91]

Well, I'm from California. But we came to Michigan from living in Ecuador. My husband's family is here. I really want to move home, though.

[Circushowcowboy]

Oh I see. Home to Ecuador or Cali?

[Caroline91]

California

[Circushowcowboy]

Hopefully you can. And hope you are safe if and when!

[Caroline91]

Thank you. There are things that can be done to fireproof a structure and we would build a fire safe room, just in case. The fires have become common place since about 2000. It used to be there would be some wild fires and forest fires every year, but they didn't get to the highly populated areas. And there was a fire season... early summer to early fall, about June-October. This new reality is horrifying. I went through a couple of fires when I was a kid, but bc they were contained before getting to populated areas, we just dealt with dangerous air quality and ash covering everything, including inside the house. Had to get heavy duty air filters and keep everything closed up, wear masks outside for weeks and clean ash off of cars like it was snowfall. I would prefer a good ol' earthquake any day of the week!

[Circushowcowboy]

That’s so scary. I feel so bad people have to go through that. Sounds like you know what you’re doing though and how to keep safe as best as possible.

[Caroline91]

We all have to consider how to mitigate the natural disasters that happen in whatever part of the country we live in. What do you have to deal with?

[Circushowcowboy]

Earthquakes and severe heat. I am opposite of you. Moved from north east Ohio to Arizona

[Caroline91]

I love Arizona. But that's quite an adjustment from Ohio! Thankfully, Arizona doesn't tend to get the big quakes, even though there are lots of smaller ones. Did they scare you at first?

[Circushowcowboy]

Yes quite an adjustment. Don’t miss the cold, though. Lol
I have traveled a good amount before moving so I hard experienced earthquakes.

[Caroline91]

What fun!

[Circushowcowboy]

Yea, traveling is one of the last things that really feels like living now

[AviatorTom]

A little source... YES.

My wife likes really spicy food, but she knows not to overdo it when we eat together.

[Circushowcowboy]

Overdoing it can ruin the night

"A little spice"

[AI Opinion]

Spicy food is such an adventurous realm! I enjoy it because it introduces flavors that are bold and exciting. A memorable spicy experience was trying Sichuan hotpot in Chengdu; the numbing peppercorns were surprisingly delightful. But the essence of cuisine is personal enjoyment. It's wonderful to embrace flavors that suit your palate, respecting your roots and unique preferences. 🌶️✨

[Valdemort]

I like it, but I'm too fragile inside out to eat anything that's really spicy lmfao

[Circushowcowboy]

I totally get that lol

[Valdemort]

Not made for the spices 😂

[Abbycado]

I love spicy food, to a degree. The hottest I can go is like jalapeños.

[Circushowcowboy]

We’re in the same boat there

[Abbycado]

I can’t fit in a boat that small.

Lolo neither can I!

[Abbycado]

Why did that post twice? Stupid site.

Or…maybe it wanted one lower where you could be sure to see it.

[Circushowcowboy]

😂😂😂 shush it!!

[virtualwasp]

not really. prefer seasoned food like bbq as an example

[Beckybooboo]

I never have been able to tolerate spicy foods. Even black pepper can be too hot.

[Xawyx-2]

Yes, I like it, especially Indian, Mexican, and Indonesian cuisine, spicy but not extremely hot.

[douride2]

Being of Scottish & Norwegian decent I'm not a fan of spicy food.

[missindiana93]

No thank you. Makes my body turn inside out.
