Are you sensitive to spicy food?

Post Reply New Topic

I've got to agree I LOVE 'Indian', Thai and Vietnamese food. Couldn't live without fresh chillies and ground pepper but others such as cinnamon even turmeric for my beans on toast (when I feel like treat).

Odd thing is though I'm sensitive to taste and can pick out the subtlest flavours but very resilient to hot spices (love cheese sandwich with sliced jalapeno's (talking of that no time like the present).

There's an Indian restaurant here in Queen Anne whose hottest platter will make you cry. I don't see how it's enjoyable at that intense level, but I did have it like that once. I cried through the whole meal. It was excellent.

I love spicy food! jalapenos, buffalo wings, love, love, love!

I am however sensitive to salty foods. I'll often cough when eating french fries, corn on the cob, etc.

As I have Crohn's disease, I try to avoid it, believe it or not, you can feel hot spicy going the other way! ( NO, this is not a joke. It as bad as 'rhoids!). However, if I am not in a flare-up I tend to eat spicy. I actually like it, though tend to have serious sinus drainage for up to 90 minutes after eating anything beyond mild spicy food. I am a big lover of Chinese & Thai food so even though I answered yes to the poll. I eat the stuff anyway.

Sincerely,
Matthew

I have an extremely high tolerance for spicy food. I enjoy eating it a lot, actually. I've never been to a restaurant that made things spicy enough without me asking them to do so. One restaurant I frequent has made my regular order into a special item on their menu - the "911".

Agree. Need gallons of water if i accidentally eat something too spicy.

for me, hot fries is a stim.

I've managed to substitute medium toco sauce on flour tortillas, so it's the hot not the crunch that is the deciding factor (although I still prefer the crunchy hot fries -- my body prefers I skip the fat and carbs).

Spicy cinnamon gum also works.

Many spices can assist with health and autism

Thai's have a very low suicide rate

Parasite infestation control is the main historical use of the spice

I love spicy food. I dump hot sauce and jalapenos on everything, and spicy ramen noodles are the best.

I can't stand spicy foods. Any spice beyond ground pepper in a salt-shaker is way too much.

Sometimes I really love spicy food, other times I can't stand it at all.

I absolutely love spicy food.

I'm quite surprised it's been pretty even so far xD I wish I could eat spicy food, because I would eat so much more of a variety in my diet then.

I love spicy food. A funny thing I've noticed: restaurants always put the spicy salsa in front of my male companion and the mild in front of me.

Before your "angry feminist" radar start beeping: I'm just saying I found it amusing.

I really like spicy food.

Makes my eyes and nose run profusely.
