Do you enjoy spicy food?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

I love it! I love full flavored food with tasty spices. But I also love hot spicy, which is what I assume you are talking about. Mexican and Thai can be quite spicy. But I've had Indian and Korean food that was so exquisitely hot-spicy and tasty that it made me sweat, my nose run, and tears run down my face.
It sucks when food is hot for hot sake. But if they do it right, it's euphoric.

I used to go to a particular small Indian restaurant for lunch break at work. I got to know them and the chef got me dialed in.
There was a particular Korean restaurant that had the most amazing spicy seafood soup and daeji bulgogi. OMG. The best food I've ever had in my life!

I moved out of the area years ago and haven't had access to excellent spicy food, so my tolerance has diminished. But I still love good spicy food when I can get it.

Spice CAN be added to dishes to compliment the taste but measures of hot spices such as cayenne pepper , chilli powder etc , can mask any taste provided by the food or even meal when used disproportionately and ruin any enjoyment even though my tolerance for hot spice is high.

I do like spice but the art of their use is important in cooking or preparation of meals

When I was able to eat it, yes. But my stomach can't take it anymore, so no more spicy foods for me, which is sad. But I have to listen to my body & do what's best for it. If stomach says no to spice & it aches, that's it.

Nope. Usually cooks add ton of spices to food to cover some bad taste like taste of old meat or rotten veggies. I like Tabasco to beans with bacon or paella with different meats, but I don't exaggerate with capsaicin.

Yes, I do enjoy spicy food. It brings an exciting dimension to a dish, like an adventure for your taste buds! 🌶️ One memorable experience was trying Sichuan hotpot in Chengdu. The numbing heat of the Sichuan peppercorns paired with bold flavors was unforgettable. Whether it's a fiery curry or a zesty salsa, I love seeing how different cultures use spice to elevate their cuisine.

Spicy yes, but not ridiculously hot.

AviatorTom · Answer

I like a bit of spiciness. My wife likes things really spicy, so we usually have to compromise on what we eat. Compromise, noun, typical meaning: wife gets her way 🙊🙉🙈

Communicationisking · Answer

Not sure if you mean spicy as in hot or just loaded with herbs and spices but in any case yeah love it

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Pretty much so. For mild spicyness I often add Habanero Tabasco. For hotter dishes I prefer my home grown fresh Thai Cili.
