Voted 'more than average', but actually liked it spicier when I was younger. Once shared an Indian meal with one other Australian and six or seven people from the US and Canada. We two Aussies were the only ones to makes inroads in the 'hottest' curry. (Gasp!) I wouldn't do it now, though.

Too much spice will land me in a world of hurt and a trip to the doctor.

I like it so hot that I regret it for an hour, I want the endorphin rush, a bit adicted to hot peppers.

I hate how everything has to be spicy these days! I like to taste my food ?

It depends on the particular dish, or the type of spice used. For instance, I like Indian food but not a fan of curry.

The spicier the better.

I like my food very spicy, but nto to the point where you can't taste anythign else.

That seems to be the main answer, but 'spicy' is a relative issue, I want to taste my food also and do, but can stand much hotter food than most.

@Agr8m8 Me too. I find most "spicy" food in restaurants to nly be mildly so.

Love the heat. My problem is that I moved to MO and they don't sell Pico Pica, my go-to hot sauce. It costs $26 on Amazon, about $12 a case in CA.I grow my own chili's when I can, habaneros, Serrano, Fresnos, jalapenos. I make my own salsa.

very cool

Yes, very Spicey and season...

After a long time eating slicy foods, I find that I just don't crave burning my tongue off like I used to. But I still like food spicier, and just generally more seasoned/flavorful/etc, than most.

2

I really love spicy food, but not so spicy that all I taste is the heat, and not the flavor of the food. My mom used to REALLY love spicy food; the joke about her was that she could eat fire!

Nothing spicy for me.

Not even a spicy wild green like arugula?

1

I like good and spicy--but like white-girl spicy. I know better than to ask for "extra hot" at the Thai or Mexican place. "Medium-hot" is generally just below my threshold or just right; "hot" can frequently be too much.

1

spice more than heat but I do like heat

I love spicy food, as long as it tastes good, too. I also love hot peppers and Mexican food.

It was a running joke/contest in our household while the kids were growing up that there wasn't any pepper, salsa, or food too hot for me. They used to try, but it was never too hot.

I don't like some spices, though, like curry and ginger. I'm also not crazy about cilantro.

Spicy food rules! I love trying something new spicy all the time. The hottest so far has been some northern Chinese food and some Indian dishes.

I was in Mongolia for three months in 2014, the land of the mongols, Genghis Khan, nomadic tribesman...real tough men!!!...BUT, no one liked spicy food there, I found there food quite bland. I was also married to a Mongolian woman in L.A. for 14 years...more bland than Korean!

The only seasonings my mom used were salt and pepper. And she used those very sparingly. I can’t tolerate spicy, wish I could. I had a friend joke that I thought ketchup was too spicy, lol.

my dad, 78, says that cumin is spicy, which it is not, but it reminds him of 'spicy' food....

I like spicy heat in my food, but I don't really know how to judge how hot I like it compared to other people. Some people I know think incredibly mild spices (according to my tastes) have a real kick, while others I know are all about the nose-dripping heat that's way too much for me. So, I guess I'd say I'm somewhere near the middle? I just don't want so much heat that it covers up the flavor of the food.

Very much spice! It must flow. Nice crop by the way.

I take several types, super hots to the not so hots, dehydrate them, put them in my 'bullet', make a powder and put dat shit on everything it seems, peanuts, granola, popcorn, pizza...list goes on and on. *actual pic

Talk about, ' a dab will do ya'....

@Agr8m8 the shaker of doom!

bad scenario: been smokin', drinkin', get the muchies, crack the jar of spicy trail mix, fill the palm, tip it back unconsciously, while watching a video...then your instantly reminded why you should close your eyes!!

I have an unnaturally sensitive palate and sometimes I can't even eat pepper 😟

ouch....sorry

@Agr8m8 and I want so desperately to be able to tolerate spicy lol

...an allergic reaction to chocolate would be worse though, I know a girl like that.

@Agr8m8 I'd just die

Have eaten Bhut Jolokia and crimson habaneros working my way to reapers.

those are all F'n hot for sure!

Hatch green chili, Thai hot, jalapeno chips, pepperoni pizza with pepperocini, etc. I like spice. I grew up in Albuquerque, NM where chili is one of the basic food groups.
I also like fettuccine Alfredo, potatoes, and just a good rare steak so hot is not a must.

ya, great balance.

2

I like mild spice. I won't eat most food with spice though. I used to go to Quiznos and get sandwiches and put those little peppercinis on them. Sometimes I'll put something like Texas Pete on some foods like those mini pizzas for snacks also with some ranch dressing or blue cheese sauce.
