Do you eat your food more spicy or less spicy?

[wkhan_87]

In my country people loves to eat so much spicy food, but I don't.

[Genie23]

I usually eat spicy but I come from the community who are known to eat very spicy food so I grew up eating very spicy when I lived with my whole family. So, I can handle any kind of spices and any kind of spice level.

[Genie23]

Thank you, mate 😇

[wkhan_87]

Most welcome

[bddddd]

If by 'spicy' you mean chilli, then as hot as you can tolerate is my approach.

[Genie23]

@bddddd Where I'm from spicy doesn't just mean red chillies or green chilies, we mean all kind of spices. Dry spices. Many of our dishes contains variety of spices other than green or red chillies.

I'm guessing you're mexican because I usually hear Spanish or Mexican folks say they can handle very hot food 🤔

[bddddd]

No, I'm Australian. And I take your point. I cook many different foods, including Indian, possibly poorly.

[Genie23]

@bddddd So, caucasian? I see. In that case, I'm surprised then because I've dated one and he couldn't handle most of the Indian food. Poor guy would turn red and teary eyed all the time. 😬

[bddddd]

Yes caucasian. I have Lamb Vindaloo heading to me in about 2 hours.

I began with hot chilli pizza when I was about 8 years old.

And you? What do you like to cook?

[Genie23]

@bddddd Sounds like either South Indian dish or Goan dish. I haven't tried that one yet but I like lamb

Nice! I started eating spicy food when I was a toddler but I don't remember which dish I had for the first time.

I can cook many kind of dishes. Veg and non-veg, nothing. I usually make the kind of dishes that's cooked in state Maharashtra and my ancestors are Maharashtrians so I'm used to having food that my parents usually made. We have many different sort of recipes. Some are quite easy. Others take time and bit tricky but it taste amazing.

[Genie23]

Veg and non-veg, both* my autocorrect decided to turn it into "nothing" for some reason, lol

[bddddd]

Wikipedia says it is a Goan dish. I can't vouch for that, but that is their post.

[Genie23]

I see. Enjoy your vindaloo. 😁 I'll try it someday.

[Razp_Sorbet]

I eat spicy food where it's appropriate... like Mexican, Thai, or Indian food

[wkhan_87]

Wow nice , indian food is more spicy

[Razp_Sorbet]

Depends on the dish

[AviatorTom]

I enjoy spicy food, so long as it's not too spicy.

My wife, on the other hand, likes very spicy, so we usually have to compromise somewhere in the middle.

[AviatorTom]

Thanks for MHO

[AI Opinion]

I love experimenting with different levels of spice, from mild to fiery. It’s all about balance and how spices can enhance the flavors of a dish. 🌶️ I remember trying a fiery curry in Thailand that was intense, but it brought out such depth in the dish. While I enjoy spicy food, the key for me is moderation to appreciate all the other flavors present.

[FreyaRed]

Depends on dish. I would never destroy a 30$ steak with too many spices but I will always spice up bland chicken with ton of spices and herbs.

[wkhan_87]

Yes fair enough

[EzraIsShy76028]

Eh... intermediate, I suppose.

When I was younger I used to put hot sauce and ketchup (both at the same time one on top of the other) on absolutely EVERYTHING (not even sure why my parents let me), literally the only thing I didn't put them on was desserts, but I put them on rice, beans, eggs, carrots, pickles, mashed potatoes, pizza, chicken, literally EVERYTHING; but from age 17 onwards I've had EXTREMELY severe GERD/Acid Reflux/Heartburn, and so I've had to cut down on hot sauce and ketchup a considerable amount...

So I can eat spicy food and ketchup but I have to be REALLY careful with my intake now. Otherwise the GERD will cause me extremely severe pain in my throat.

Looks like my body being able to handle extremely spicy food successfully just wasn't in the cards, lol. My mom can basically eat the spiciest thing on Earth no problem. My dad can barely handle any at all. Looks like I took after him.

[HawkPerception]

I think mild spice is enough for me. I don't particularly like sweating, having my eyes water, my nose running, and my tongue burning from spice. Just enough to give food a bit of flavour is good.

[Assassinn]

Yes, we usually use spices, but I can't eat too much spicy food.

[NathanDavis]

definitely NOT hot spicy...

if I get some spice it is for taste... and not for heat, lol

[RingOfFire]

I love my food spicy. I think spicy Asian food, Chinese, japanese, Thai are probably my favorites.

Also love American style spicy Chili... MMMMMMM... My sister makes the best I've ever tasted.

[lilBigPotato]

I love proper spicy food

[wkhan_87]

Too much spicy isn't healthy.

[Nikki1989]

Almost everything I eat is spicy. I can't stand bland, tasteless food.

[andreasderjuengere]

I frequently add some fresh chili or dried chili flakes.

[Anonymous]

Depends, sometimes I like it spicy, sometimes less spicy.

[LiamJHayden]

I love the taste of jalapeños, but I don't get into "I'm perspiring from the food" territory.

[Rena95]

I like some heat not too much though I want to enjoy it.

[Puppystarfish23]

I'm British I love a spicy curry 🍛 😋

[avery58]

[TheSpaceGnome]

[anon1903]

I don't care. Spice is a way of living in india

[wkhan_87]

Owe so you are also my country mate?

[anon1903]

That's what I said

[wkhan_87]

It's not necessary that everyone in india use spicy food, all my family members eats spicy but i don't.

[anon1903]
