    One thing I can't seem to get my head around is spicy food. I have never been able to see the appeal in pain while you eat. Just earlier on I was looking forward to some food... only to find it was really spicy. As determined as I was to finish eating it... I could hardly eat even half. It just hurt too much. It put me right off.

    Now... I'm not saying spicy food is a silly idea... just that I don't get what people like about it. I'm obviously missing something. So that's why I'm making this poll.

    So... do you like spicy food? And more importantly... what is it that keeps you going back for more? Maybe not everyone feels pain when they eat spicy food, but maybe some feel something more pleasant? I'm eager to find out. :)

    EDIT: I should have said from the start - I don't hate spicy food ^_^ I can tollerate mild spice to an extent, but no more than mild. I don't hate it... just can't take it XD

    I can't eat spicy food either. The only spicy thing I'll go near is curry chips, and even then I prefer for the curry to be mild.

    You're not missing anything, it's a matter of personal preference.
     
    I love spicy food. Especially anything with wasabi. You really shouldn't think of it as pain, it's more like something prickly or coarse.

    Spicy Indian food is my favourite.. =P

    Hm... perhaps this is a sign that the sensation differs from person to person.

    I've tried to get used to it, but it's a definate stinging pain that I feel... I've even tried to see it as just another sensation and not 'pain' but the mind over matter thing just wasn't working...
     
    I don't like spicy food too much. A little is ok, but when I have to eat REALLY hot things, I end up drinking more water than eating X_X
     
    I'm used to eating spicy foods… so erm… I have no problems when eating… unless I eat the
    chillies at once rather than waiting between different mouthfuls…
    Amoeba you aren't missing much… but it is a shame you hate the spice… you fear the spice xD j/k it's a mighty boosh joke kinda…
    I don't seem to get much sensation when I eat spicy foods … well maybe a runny nose but that's it. xD
    It always gets made … so that's why I 'always go back' xD And I love my spicy foods… I tend to make things spicy if they taste bland… unless that's how they are supposed to taste xD
     
    I'm part Bajan (from Barbados), you see, so I've grown up around spices my entire life. I love them so, so, so much! <3 The spicier, the better~

    I went to this szechuan chicken place, and I swallowed an entire chili pepper. It was so spicy, oh my God. XD; I downed so much water, but the spice lingered for a good half hour. On my way home, I was, like, tearing up and everything! But it gave me such a rush because I had never done anything so risky... [/random]
     
    I don't eat spicy food, and never have — simply doesn't appeal to me. I'm perfectly content with the more bland foods in life, bread and potatoes being examples.
     
    I like spicy stuff every once in a while but only to the point of stuff like tabasco or a couple jalapeno peppers. I love banana peppers.
     
    I love mildly spicy food, but I wish to try to hottest pepper in the world; the Dorset Bhut Naga Jolokia pepper. It has an SR of 1.6 Million! It will be very painful as just one seed can cause intensely painful sensations for up to 30 mins but it will be worth it. Also it would make sense for me to eat the Naga pepper as my tagline is "Lord of the Nagas".

    Spicy food is awesome. <3 Except when it gives me stomach aches.. D;

    I'm kind of use to it since my family always eats spicy food. But not like so spicy, I'm dying or something.. x_x;

    No one could enjoy that, unless they like pain or something. D:
     
    For me, the spicier the better. I just love that feeling I get in my mouth when I eat really spicy food.
     
    I love spicy food. Buffalo Wild Wing's hottest sauce is super hot. Like, it burns going down. It's...my favorite. x3
     
    I like spicy food but not too spicy. I just love the feeling but I hate when it gets too much as in I scream for water. There was this thing a long time ago I loved forgot what it's called don't know if it still sells but it was like 3D chips or something and it was really spicy.
     
    I love Spicy Food, they can be very spicy and taste good too. But I don't want to go crazy on crushed Red Pepper, makes my stomach go bad :/
     
    HOT WINGS! ♥

    I didn't used to like spicy food, but now I'm practically addicted to it. I can't take super spicy foods, but I'm not afraid to try it once. Spicy is good :D

    Besides my stepdad's awesome hot wings of doom (funny fact -- he made the recipe and can't try it, because he can't eat anything spicy), I love the zesty sauce at Burger King. It's the right kind of spicy~
