Can you eat it? I can't. :disappointed:

I just had a Mexican soup, and it was sooo spicy. :wreck: I had to get a piece of bread and some milk. :facepalm:

 

I can only handle very little spice in my food. I even prefer it bland. :lol:

 

How spicy can you take it, on a scale of one to ten, one being no spice and ten being your heart stops from the spice? :wacko:

I can't handle Spicy Food ,though I sometimes like it.

I'd say about 6.

I can only eat buffalo wings if I smother them in sour cream. :facepalm:

 

But I only eat buffalo wings for the Superbowl. :wacky:

I prefer to taste the food rather than the spices added. I see really spicy things as like having loads of tomato ketchup then one chip.

Hmmmm about 5 I'd say

I can't eat spicy food, it's actually laughable.

I could eat about 2, 3 sometimes.

I'm weird with this topic, because at times I can be a bit of a wuss with it, and at other times I can fair very well (Vindaloo is regarded as THE spicey meal in most Indian restaurants, and I do actually enjoy it if I'm in the right mood, unfortunately it's hard to know what kinda mood I'm in, I have struggled with a plate of it before).

 

I used to work with some Indian guys and they really tested my limits as to what I can eat. One of them in particular could handle any strength of spice, the rest could eat plates of spicey food that I could only handle trying a bit of, but this guy was nuts. They made an entire pot of curry (To feed about 6 people) and used a handful of these little peppers for the whole thing, and I tried the curry and even a spoon full was too hot for me, the guy laughed and ate one of the peppers raw. We were like WTF but he was absolutely fine, there was just no limit there. To put that in perspective, he basically ate the spicynes of over one plate of food which I couldn't even handle a mouthful of and the other guys could just about handle.

 

So from that experience I don't know where to rate myself, because some people just don't have a limit, if I was to put us on a list I'd be 5, some of the guys would be 8, and the nuts guy would be 10. But I've put myself as 8 because I'm more comparing myself to friends and family, who don't deal at all well with spices (It's un-natural for Irish people haha).

Yeah, me too. :bomb: Sometimes when it's really spicy, all I taste is my pain and not the food. :freak: :lol:

That's like me. :wacky: *high five*

That's crazy! :lol:

But he could probably eat that much spice because he was used to it. :thinking:

 

8 is pretty impressive! :P

^^

I think it's your Canadianess Reilly,

cause yes that is unnatural for Irish people.

 

Christina

Oh yeah :cool3:

:awesome:

I ain't got the Canuck genes though the ELS.

I like my tastebuds, I don't want to kill them so I can't enjoy things that aren't spicy. So eating very spicy things often is a no for me.

well I think after biting into a small young Pepperoni some years ago I can take it quite spicy

 

It was the first day of school after the summer holidays and a friend of mine came over to me on the school yard before school had started...she gave me a very small perfect looking red pepperoni and said I should try it (she went to Sicily in her holidays)....well she was being ironic, but I didn't know that since I thought it was some kind of candy, because it was looking so perfect.

so, I tried it. I tried a lot of it. My mouth was seriously burning. I think my head was super red. I went into the class and I was sitting in front row eating bread and trying anything just to get rid of that stuff in my mouth...it took me almost 2 hours to get rid of it.

Never ever try Pepperoni for breakfast, esp. not when you are in school....

 

so yeah

 

 

another thing I want to say about that. I think it has just to do with what you are used to. My Dad for example puts a lot of pepper on his food....I always tell him that he is eating pepper with food and not the other way round. And my mum feels offended of course, because she is the cook haha....

I am not really used to spicy food in general....it depends on the kind of spicy...

I hate it, but I eat it everyday.

Or most food my mother makes is spicy.

 

My friend eats a bag of spicy chips with chamoy and chile :sick: Looks like a bag of red shit .__.

Spicy food does not physically kill your taste buds, though after having spicy food you may feel a numbness that gives the impression that your tastebuds are decreasing.

 

My aforementioned Indian friend who could handle a lot of spice and was a great cook, I don't know if this is necessarily true but he attained that he had a better sense of tasting food after having pushed himself to the limits (Well actually he doesn't really have any). But the first part is true, spices work by tricking the brain into thinking you are trying something very hot, weird I know, but they don't actually affect your taste buds, only age does that.

What do you mean with "normal"? Like the ones that you get over there on Pepperoni Pizza?

Well, this one was a special one from sicily (I think) and it was young and small and had a lot of seeds....it was just awful

That must have been some pepperoni! :anxious:

Aw! :hug:

Luckily, my mom hates spicy food too, so she rarely makes spicy food.

 

That sounds awful. :|

Yeah just a regular pepperoni you'd have on a pizza.

 

If it had seeds then clearly not.

Like 5/10 maybe.

 

My friend's boyfriend once made a really hot curry. I had to had loads of rice with it and I couldn't really taste anything. His son tasted it and thought it wasn't hot enough so he put loads of hot pepper sauce on it. Some people really don't seem to have any limit.

Do you mean peppers? Pepperoni is a spicy sausage.

 

Just asking because it means something completely different in German. :)

10

not really a fan of things that are really spicy. So I went with 4.

probably around 5. I don't eat many spicy things though

The scale was so... arbitrary :P

 

Most Southeast Asians can consume spicy food up to scale 50, but I'm not one of them. :|
