it's growing on me! i should like spicy foods bc my family was raised with spicy food and they eat it everyday. however, i think i had an adverse experience with a spicy dish when i was young, so i've mostly avoided spicy until i attended uni when i didn't want my friends to cater to my taste preference. i wouldn't have hot sauce on the side for every meal, but there are some dishes that just taste better when they're spicy! i still can't handle many chili peppers though
I love spicy food! Both my parents enjoy it--my mom especially--and she was the main cook of the household, so it was a natural progression. XD I like how spice brings out the other flavours in a dish, assuming it's not the flavour that is overwhelming everything (that is my definition of "too much spice").
Whenever I get burritos, I always ask for two lines of hot sauce, and the employee making it has to check with me that I really want the two lines. It's probably a liability thing, but it never fails to make me chuckle.
Definitely love spicy food. Spicier the better.
Luckily my husband loves spicy too. I didn't realize how detrimental loving spicy food was to me till we ate out family style and couldn't order all our usuals spicy due to others with us that don't.
I'm a supertaster, and it's really bad with spicy food. I'm extremely sensitive, so the hottest I can really handle is medium salsa and even then it burns.
I like spicy food, but if it's to the point where it's just trying to be hot and disregarding the flavor, then no, I won't like it. Also, not everything needs to be spicy or have spice. I've seen some people treating it as if every kind of food needs spiciness.
I am a big weenie baby and can't deal with things being super spicy, maybe a mild spice for some things but I really have like zero tolerance for it haha
I love spicy food, but I'm not a fan of hot sauces. I prefer to have the spiciness come naturally from peppers or spices added while cooking. I used to have a higher tolerance for spice as a teenager. My tolerance has decreased a bit over the years, but I still like a medium to medium-hot level of spice most of the time.
I guess I'm in the minority of people who don't like spicy foods.
HECK NO (with a few exceptions).
If it's too overly spicy, the spiciness takes away from the food's flavoring and leaves a burning sensation in my mouth that I don't find pleasant and I don't get the appeal of.
I hate having to keep chugging something sweet just to get rid of the burning sensation that'll only keep coming back with every new bite of the food. I rather just skip from eating it. And don't even get me started on what it does to your stomach. I'll keep it short and say: the after effects ain't pretty.
I love Mexican food and do enjoy spicy things as long as it's mild and doesn't burn your mouth off. There are many degrees of spicy food to choose from where I happen to live.
