I don’t eat much spicy food because it tends to upset my stomach, but years ago I was putting Tabasco sauce on many of the foods I ate. I stopped because my doctor told me that I would get an ulcer if I continued.
Do you like spicy food? What kind of food? Mild spicy? Medium spicy? Hot spicy?
Uh I guess I like it, but watering eyes and running nose and sneezing can sometimes accompany food that is over-spiced. A little spice can really make a bland dish better, but too much can be annoying.
I like it mildly spicy.
I feel if the food is too hot/spicy, it hides all the other flavors.
Food should have taste, not just a feeling of “omg haaaaaah aaaah hot hot hot”
I did one blended into a small glass of tomato juice. The initial agony is bad. The 12 hour sensation of burning jet fuel traversing your digestive tract is worse, especially when it exits.
I don’t always eat spicy but when I do I use these in order of the least to most heat: Franks hot sauce, Sriracha hot sauce, Melinda Ghost pepper wing sauce (its good with more than wings).
I like spicy food to a degree but being a Minnesotan I have been criticized by a southerner claiming that we are culinary boring. She was right as we are salt and pepper people.
