Do you like hot, spicy food?

[Hudu Gurusingha]

I'll eat some something with bbq sauce that gives it a bit of a zing... but overall I hate really spicy food - it burns the mouth and I can't taste the food with it sooooo hot.

Love the stuff. When I move out I'll probably have a garden dedicated to Chilli plants

exactly what I've done. Got habanero's and basic red chilli's growing.

Killer hot sauce from Pancho's is good too.

Love hot food. Have some 'Eno' in the morning and it normally stops the upset stomach too

Not sure if you can get these in Australia. If you can, try them out. Crazy hot!

Went to the chilli festival and spent $100 plus in very hot sauces, chilli wine and hot Cajun seasonings. Chilli sauce in pizza and pasta is sensational.

I believe chilli is good for you as it speeds up metabolism etc.

Chilli also makes s**t beer taste palatable. When I'm given a glass of say VB and there's Tabasco sauce at the pub I will put a dash of Tabasco in it.

Was it a Chilli Con Carnival?

Love hot food. Used to not be able to handle it. Then I grew a pair.

I don't mind a little spice, but I do wonder what people who love really hot things are really tasting....You might as well just have bread and hot sauce because I would suggest you really aren't tasting much else

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Love it

What's everyone's favourite spiciest food or meal?

 

[TheFreshBanana]

yes cos i love having 20 minute diarrhea the next morning at work /sarcasm.

I think I've only ever had this happen to me once from spicy food.

You just gotta know your limit.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Love it.

Same here. Love my little chilli bushes out in the garden!

Count me in as a fan of the hot stuff.

Gotta be a good Indian dish for me. Tikka Misala or Vindaloo. Not sure how traditional they are, but a couple of local restaurants do amazing dishes of these.

 

[rippersnipper]

Hate when people make spicy food but its not spicy

 

[Dagless]

If it's MEANT to be spicy, ie Thai Green Curry, you damn well better make that curry as hot as you can make it.

Making things like chicken wings randomly ultra hot by adding hot sauce is pointless though.

 

[Adzam]

I love it. I used to think the hotter the better but these days I've realised some things are stupidly hot that they can ruin the food. I like a high level of heat still but I want to be able to taste other flavours in the dish too.
I like to think I make a pretty mean chilli con carne and I'm always on the look out for trying new chilli chicken burgers/ Portuguese chicken burgers. A good one of those really satisfies my chilli addiction

Don't mind it sometimes.

Occasionally you get guys who think they are manly if they order some super duper hot stuff, and you can tell they aren't really enjoying it. Try hards.

If that's how you like your food though, then go for it.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I can't say I like hot, but I do like a little spice in there. Just enough for an edge without heat is perfect for me. Love a good laksa or a mild curry, but actual heat just brings out a sweat and pains the tongue. If I give myself time to slowly build up acclimatising, I can enjoy a bit more heat.

 

[AtomicBlonde]

Love it, chilli is really good for you too.

This stuff from Woolies is ace!

 

[AtomicBlonde]

What's everyone's favourite spiciest food or meal?

Chicken, mushroom and chilli risotto.

 

[Scotland]

I'm at the little bitch end of the hot food scale. I'm not one of those people that breaks out in a sweat eating Old el Paso or Nando's lemon and herb, but if something is full of chilli I won't enjoy it at all. Really hot food just has no flavour to me. It could be full of garlic, coriander etc. and all I'd taste is the chilli.

A good curry or satay or stir fry with the right mix of spices and flavours is amazing, I just don't see appeal in drowning it with chilli and sweating through it as though eating is some sort of challenge.

 

[rippersnipper]

Surely vindaloo or rogan josh are up there

It's from California, not Woolies . I think it's in all supermarkets.

It's not super hot but I don't mind it. Some chips just came out in that flavor. Might have to try them.
