  • no, i'm a baby. :dansad:

    The hottest food I eat on a semi-regular basis is Japanese curry since we recently switched from using the standard mild roux blocks to a medium-spice powdered form. It's easier to dilute into the curry but it means I can't eat as much (or I need TONS of rice with it) because the heat builds up so quick for me. :'(

    when u see those "spice level: white person" jokes... it's about me. u_u

  • I can't eat spicy food due to acid reflux, honestly. It burns my throat and I can still feel the spice in my throat for a long time afterwards.

    I can't even really eat spicy chips without it burning my throat and having a negative reaction to it... but I think if I try eating slightly hot stuff every once in awhile, it'll help me get used to it, and I won't be bothered by it anymore?

    I am anti-heat in all things, and that includes food. Spice upsets my stomach something awful.

  • I tried eating a roasted snail with hot sauce once. Boy, that went down awfully.

    Seriously though, I enjoy medium spiciness, but it needs to actually taste good. Also I am not a fan of garlic or onions at all because of the after-burps. (I thought of hot wings with a garlic-y sauce when typing this out)

  • I used to be pretty good with spicy foods. Not like, god-tier spice tolerance but I could handle spiciness just fine. For some reason though, after getting sick, I've gotten a lot more sensitive to spiciness than I used to be. I think it's because my diet changed drastically and stopped including spices for a really long time.

  • I can't handle much spiciness at the moment. It's just really hard for me. I'm also that "white person level of spices" individual. I had jalapeño cheetohs the other day by accident and nearly died.

    I can't tolerate anything spicy, unless I'm constantly drinking water along with it.

  • To illustrate how much I like spicy: I made myself a breakfast yesterday (eggs, potatoes, sausage) with the intent of being able to add a bit of my ghost pepper salsa. I've also put sriracha sauce in similar breakfasts. Or on popcorn. I always have a container of crushed red pepper that I can put on random dinner things if I feel like it.

    Although ghost pepper seems to be my limit, as I found out from the chips I got once - they actually made my stomach hurt if I ate more than a few! That never happens with me!

    But anything below that is fair game as far as I'm concerned. :D

  • I'm alright. I'll do medium spicyness usually in restuarants and manage; hotter than that is too much for me. I don't have spicy stuff that often though.

  • Mostly mild. I can handle some types of chili/hot sauce and curry fine. However, I don't do well with big peppers and jalapenos.

    Medium tends to be the most I can do before it starts getting too hot and I need to have some kind of dressing to offset the heat if it's something like wings. I like jalapenos but that's the most I can go when it comes to peppers I can't do anything hotter than that which honestly is pretty sad because of half my heritage oop.

  • I do enjoy spicy food to a certain extent! I can tolerate a few jalapeños in my food, for example. Most of the time, if I'm ordering something at a restaurant, I'll order medium as far as spiciness goes. I still am not a fan of too spicy chips/hot cheetos/etc.

  • I love spicy food and always cook with spices. We all have our limits of course and I definitely have mine, but generally I think I can handle a fair amount of spice.
