Spicy food: Yea or nay? Why? BONUS: How hot do you like it?

Brie2010

Yay.  Very. Disclaimer: I like really hot salsa and Mexican food but I can't stand curry.  So, the flavor of the spice makes a big difference.

SwedishChick2011

Spicy food: Yea!  Cuz it's delish!BONUS: Very hot

crfische

YAY! I just love it. Don't know why. Super hot. Like...Adrian Peterson hot.

arbolita

Yay!  I don't have a reason why, I just do.I like my curry the spicier the better (Salt can attest to that), but for wings I can't do spicier than Hot.

TiDa2009

Nay.  I can handle a little spiciness (as in mild salsa), but not much.  I don't like eating food that hurts me.  I'm a puussy...

anna.oskar

I like it hot but not so hot that you can't taste the other flavors.

future-weddedbliss

I like it spicy!

sparklzk27

No way!I can't stand anything spicy.  One day in middle school I went crazy for hot sauce on french fries - it seemed like the best thing ever.  I had the worst sore throat for 2 weeks after that and now I can't even stand to smell spicy things.

I used to love really spicy food, but I have developed terrible heartburn over the last couple of years.  I'm boring now, although I still like a really spicy Bloody Mary.

missy68

Yes, but only mild spicy (I'm thinking of like pepper/jalapeno spicy; I'm not a curry fan).  My tummy is the size of an egg and too much fire is a really, really bad thing.

ExpatPumpkin

Definitely a yea! I love the way the burning feels. Yes, I love it Bonus: See above.

No my mouth and my tummy do not like spicy:-(

Spicy food: Yea or nay? Why? I love spicy food, probably because I was raised on the blandest cuisine ever.BONUS: How hot do you like it? The spicier the better.  H however hated spicy food when we started dating.  He'd practically cry if I put pepper in his food.  After six years he is a trooper.

Brie2010

Fische, let's do lunch and not eat curry and complain about what a twat Elizabeth Hasselbeck is.

opalsky007

Yea. But I don't like heat just for the sake of heat: it needs to have a good flavor to it.

3plus2=5

Nay!Heartburn sucks.

agk0125

Ditto Brie - Mexican spicy=yay, Indian spicy-nay.I generally like "medium" spice. I don't like when things are too spicy to eat.Buffalo wing spicy = my favorite

ac_in_dc

I like it hot but not so hot that you can't taste the other flavors. This.

arbolita

I'm amazed by how many people don't like curry.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Yes. Very. Which might differ, depend on who you're talking to. I grew up in Buffalo. Medium wings there are extra hot wings everywhere else! I eat pickled jalapenos straight from the jar.I could eat Mexican/Tex Mex/other Latin food/Curry for the rest of my life. Everyday.

ExpatPumpkin

[i]I'm amazed by how many people don't like curry.[/i] Me too - I'm a big fan.

crfische

YES BRIE. We will do this. And we will do it well, dammit!

eponville

As a South Louisiana girl... the hotter the better- that is if its southern cooking~ jambalya, boiled crawfish etc.

opalsky007

I don't get it either--I love curry! It's our go-to when I don't have anything else to cook. Curry paste + yogurt + veggies = yum.

sucrets4

Nay.  I have the blandest palate ever.  Damn my Scandinavian roots.

smokeybailey

I love it hot.  I think El Tapatio is the best condiment EVER.  I once ate a habenero though and that was a VERY bad idea.  The waiters kept bringing me milk but we couldn't put out the fire in my stomach, mouth, and throat.Oh, and TMI, but it's just as hot going out as it is coming in.  ::clenches at the memory::

fangsiting

Yea!  The hotter the better, but agree with PPs that say it needs flavor, just not heat. I use FI's name when I order take out so when I say I want hot food, they give me Asian hot, not white girl hot. 

ricksang

Nay, I don't like my nose to run while I am trying to eat.

ricksang

I love curry and Whasabi (sp?) though.

Kati0105

Oh, and TMI, but it's just as hot going out as it is coming in. ::clenches at the memory::This mental image is making me giggle.I LOVE spicy food but not so spicy it makes me cry.  FI recently dared me to eat a pepper at PF Chang's that made me cry.  I also LOVE curry, maybe even more than spicy Mexican food.
