Do You Like Hot/Spicy Foods?

[Hoofbite]

I'm kind of hit or miss. I think a little heat is good but I don't do excessive heat.

I watch a couple of YouTube channels of people eating the worlds hottest peppers and it's crazy how they can tolerate it.

That guy will cut the top off a pepper pod, fill it to the brim with capsaicin tincture and then just throw the whole thing in his mouth. He also invented the Tube of Terror which is pretty much what killed my desire to have too much heat. It's a tube of peanuts that are coated in capsaicin crystals and 7 or so different pepper powders. It's supposed to be 13 million Scoville. I had one peanut and 2 hours later it felt like my insides were on fire. It was so bad I became nauseous and barely made it to the bathroom to throw up.

I love spicey....but not crazy like people like this.

I like it. It doesn't like me.

I enjoy hot and spicy food. But it gives me pretty bad acid reflux anymore. So I try to limit it.

Here's what he calls a "gusher". One of the hottest peppers filled with reaper tincture and he just crushes it. He's claimed on a number of videos the pepper he is using is hands down the hottest pepper on the planet. He says it is officially recognized as it, but he's claims it most certainly is.

I love hot and spicy, but can't handle the same amount of heat as I could when I was younger

 

[Runwildboys]

I like hot, but not so hot you can't taste it. I don't see how it's even possible to get to 13 million Scoville, or how it would be possible to eat that without doing permanent damage.

About the hottest I really enjoy is jalapenos on pizza. Anything beyond that is just hot for the sake of being hot.

About where I’m at now……love it but it wreaks havoc on me too often. As I age, my stomach tolerance for it lessens

Wanna bet what that guy's favorite band is? The Butthole Surfers.

I enjoy it.

There is a level heat though that doesn’t make any sense because it takes away from the taste of the food.

This is exactly how I feel. I like a little heat sometimes but it has to enhance the flavors of the food. Adding heat for the sake of testing the limits of human consumption is not on my list of favorites.

Absolutely not. Acid reflux and spicy food do agree with each other…

Agree. For instance. Buffalo wings. I like some heat on my wings. But I also enjoy the taste of the Buffalo sauce itself. Some places make wings so hot you can’t even enjoy the flavor of the wings themselves.

I agree. Love jalapenos on a spicy sausage pizza. I'd sprinkle on some crushed red peppers too.

Spicy food shouldn't be an endurance test. It should enhance the flavor, not make you nauseous.

When it comes to fast food sandwiches, if it comes in a spicy option, then I'll get that spicy option.

For example when I grab a chicken sandwich from Popeyes, I will get the spicy chicken sandwich.

I keep thinking age and the stomach will catch up with my spicy fetish but so far, so good. Tabasco, Wasabi, Peppers, there isn't much I don't like to add. Cajun, Japanese, Thai, Hot Wings, Tex-Mex, certain Chinese-American.... love the foods that do it right!

 

[Cowpolk]

I grow Habanero Carolina Reapers and Vipers and eat them Am on a list to get Pepper X

Try some African food but be careful it can be really hot but it is great if you can find a good restaurant

Yeah, I learned that a long, long time ago. When I was about 6 years old my older brother asked me to show him how clean my teeth were and when I opened my mouth he stuck a little red pepper about the size of a marble in my mouth and crushed it! I don't remember, but I think I cried until I was about 7 years old!
